Tucker had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They secured an 86-80 W over the Jonesboro Cardinals on Wednesday.

Isaiah Turman was another key player, shooting 63% from the field en route to 14 points along with seven boards and five assists.
Tucker is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 25-6 record this season. With the loss, Jonesboro broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 22-9.
