BIRMINGHAM, AL -- Following Alabama State's final regular-season game -- a 20-point thrashing of Jackson State -- ASU head coach Lewis Jackson made no secret of the fact that he was unhappy with his team's defense. The Hornets had allowed 83 points, and that was simply unacceptable in Jackson's world.
So, in an effort to please their head coach, the ASU players went into their match up with Texas Southern in the first round of the SWAC Tournament on Wednesday with a defense-first mindset. Pretty much everything the TSU tried, the Hornets shut them down.
The Tigers shot a meager 26 percent from the floor and were out-rebounded by 15. ASU won easily, 67-49.
