GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- Southern women’s basketball coach Sandy Pugh walked out of the visitor’s locker room, shook her head and said, “I’ve never seen anything like that in all my days.”She was referring to the Jaguars’ bizarre 74-72 victory against Grambling on Saturday afternoon in the Fredrick C. Hobdy Assembly Center.
Pugh had just watched the Tigers cut her team’s late lead from eight points to two on one trip up the floor. Then she saw her team fall behind, regain the lead, have a chance to put it away, turn it over and withstand a missed layup just before the buzzer.
“SWAC-tion,” Pugh said. “You’ve got to love it.”
Southern (12-6 overall), which hadn’t played since suffering its first league loss to Alcorn State a week earlier, remained in first place in the Southwestern Athletic Conference at 9-1. The Jaguars play at Jackson State on Monday. Grambling is 8-13, 5-5.
