Jacob Pullen hit an open 25-foot three-pointer to send the Purple & Black to a dramatic 75-73 victory over the first-time TBT entrant Lone Star Legends. Pullen, the former Kansas State star, took a few steps over half court and swished a three-pointer to send the Kansas State alumni squad on to Round 2. Thomas Gipson III had 15 points and 11 rebounds in the win for Purple & Black, which improved to 4-5 all-time in TBT. Jordan Allen had 17 points in the third quarter – including four three-pointers – and finished with a team-high 30 points in the losing effort for the Long Star Legends, who blew a six-point lead in the fourth quarter to fall in their TBT debut.
