SWAC basketball standings 2013: Southern Jaguars head to league tournament as top seed

The Texas Southern Tigers ended their regular season with a 79-66 victory against the Southern University Jaguars on Thursday and finished 16-2 in SWAC play. But with a postseason ban upon Texas Southern, which finished 17-14 on the season, it's the Jaguars who head to the SWAC Tournament as the top seed.

A seven-team bracket because of additional postseason bans to Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State gives Southern the No. 1 overall seed in the conference tournament and the only bye. They will face the winner of No. 6 seed Alabama A&M and No. 7 seed Grambling State, who play on Wednesday, March 13.

No. 2 seed Jackson State, which finished fourth in the regular season with a 9-9 conference record, will play Alabama State on Thursday, March 14. The winner of that game will face the victor between the Alcorn State and Prairie View.
