Southern seeks basketball identity

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  -- The Southern men’s basketball team plays for the first time in eight days when it visits the University of Denver at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

The longest break between games this season gave coach Roman Banks his best opportunity yet to sort out roles for a 2-5 team that is a work in progress. The Jaguars hadn’t had more than three days between games since the start of the season.

“We’re still searching for our identity and team leadership,” Banks said.

“I just have to believe that as time goes on, we’ll find the right chemistry. We’re going to stick with it and mold it, and this team has a chance down the line.”

The Jaguars won their last game, defeating NAIA member Blue Mountain College 76-59 on Nov. 25.
