Southern men open SWAC play

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The Southern men’s basketball team participated in plenty of mismatches during its pre-conference schedule.

The biggest came in the most recent game — the Jaguars’ 114-12 victory against out manned Champion Baptist College on Monday in the Clark Activity Center.

But Southern has been on the other end of the playing-up-in-competition-for-a-bigger-paycheck deal that is such a big part of preconference schedules.

The Jaguars went on the road to play the likes of No. 1 Arizona, No. 9 Baylor, No. 12 Florida as well as unranked teams that had a decided talent edge.

Coach Roman Banks said he isn’t certain of exactly what he has in this team, which probably isn’t as good as the score against Champion Baptist might suggest, but might not be as bad as the record suggests, given the overall strength of the competition.
