BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Tuesday night wasn’t another milestone win against a major conference opponent, but it was a win, and that’s all that matters for Southern.After coming out on top against Mississippi State and Tulane last week, the Jaguars cruised to a 79-65 victory over NAIA member Dillard at home, extending their win streak to three games.
“We worked thorough it tonight,” Southern coach Roman Banks said. “I was concerned about getting out there and have them thinking they were just going to wash this team, and this team is actually a pretty good basketball team.”
Dillard came out in a zone defense all night, which forced Southern into shooting more from the outside.
The Jaguars shot more from behind the 3-point line in the first half of Tuesday night’s outing (20) than it had in any full game this season.
Southern finished the half shooting 25 percent from 3-point territory, led by guards Trelun Banks and Adrian Rodgers with a pair of field goals beyond the arc each.
