CLARKSVILLE — Zavion Williams’ follow-up bucket with six seconds left lifted APSU over Tennessee State 69-68 on Thursday, Jan. 15.
APSU (6-11, 1-2 Ohio Valley) came from 11 points down and trimmed it to two on Damarius Smith’s dunk with 26 seconds left.

Khalil Davis pulled down Darrion Reddick’s last-second miss to seal the Governors’ win.
Tennessee State (3-16, 0-4) erased a halftime deficit of 31-26, tying it at 41 on a Reddick jumper. Later, a 10-0 spurt — all on free throws — built an 11-point lead.
Williams finished with 13 points. Robinson had 15 with four 3-pointers.
Reddick had 11 points and seven rebounds for TSU. Jay Harris led the Tigers with 16 points and added seven boards.
