Jackson State prepping for SWAC competition

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Wednesday’s 23-point home triumph against Southeastern Louisiana was a much needed bounce-back performance by Jackson State.

The Tigers dropped back-to-back road games in Ohio two weeks before that. The result was pleasing, but JSU coach Wayne Brent still had to put it in context for his players.

“Like we told them (the players), that game doesn’t mean as much as the next two coming up,” Brent said.

Those two upcoming games represent the first two contests of SWAC play for the Tigers (5-8), who will host Alabama State (5-7) at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Lee E. Williams AAC.

At 5-8, JSU owns the best record it has had entering conference play under Brent. Statistical categories place the Tigers in good light among other SWAC teams.
