BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern concludes its nonconference schedule with two games in the Global Sports Classic in Las Vegas, Nevada.The Jaguars (7-4) play North Carolina Central at 3:30 p.m. Monday afternoon and will face either Eastern Illinois or Nebraska-Omaha on Tuesday. After that, they break for Christmas and don’t play again until visiting Texas Southern for the Southwestern Athletic Conference opener Jan. 2.
Southern has been on the road for a week, having lost at Memphis (72-67) on Tuesday and at Louisiana Tech (83-76) on Friday. In both games, the Jaguars had a lead in the second half but got outscored down the stretch.
“We’ve got to zero in on North Carolina Central,” Southern coach Roman Banks said. “We’ve got to put together a good game and try to get back in the win column.”
The Jaguars have lost consecutive games for the first time this season. In both games, Southern was beaten badly at the foul line. The Jaguars shot half as many free throws (40) as their opponents (80) and got outscored by 30 points at the line. They committed 57 fouls and their opponents committed 38.
