ITTA BENA -- Chico Potts earned his first-ever victory Sunday as head coach Sunday as the Delta Devils defeated Alabama A&M 79-68 at the Harrison HPER Complex.

Tomlin's mid-range jumper was falling all night as the freshman guard made 8-of-13 shots and finished 5-of-5 from the free throw line. Usher, who has scored in double-figures in all but two games this season, finished 7-of-13 and was perfect at the charity stripe (10-of-10).

MVSU's 79 points was a season high.
