Banks leads balanced offense; SU men roll past Alabama A&M

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  --  The Southern men’s basketball team made sure it wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice.

The Jaguars suffered their first Southwestern Athletic Conference loss Wednesday night when a lethargic start led to a 15-point halftime deficit and a disappointing loss at Mississippi Valley State.

So when they returned to the court Saturday night they were determined to start fast and make it count.

The result was a nearly wire-to-wire 66-52 victory against Alabama A&M in the Clark Activity Center.

“We needed to respond in a big way just to get our focus and our confidence back,” guard Trelun Banks said. “It was a team effort and a big win for us.”
