SU Jaguars hit road to Rice, Nebraska

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  -- After a disappointing 74-67 defeat at the hands of Florida A&M on Friday, the Jaguars will hit the road again this week to take on Rice on Thursday and then on to Lincoln, Neb., to square off against Nebraska on Sunday afternoon.

Southern began the Florida A&M contest sluggishly, as they committed 17 of their 26 turnovers in the first half.

Additionally, Southern was held to 35.5 percent shooting and had just three trips to the free-throw line through the first 20 minutes.

“I thought the kids really played hard,” Southern coach Sandy Pugh said. “We weren’t clicking in the first half and just seemed to be out of rhythm.”

Southern was troubled in a few areas, including being outscored by FAMU 14-0 in second-chance points. And the Rattlers attempted more than twice as many free throws: 40-to-18.
