BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Morris Scott will have at least one thing to be thankful for as he carves up the turkey on Thursday.It maybe took a little longer than he would’ve liked, but Scott officially has his first win as head coach of the Southern men’s basketball program.
After going 0-5 during a 12-day road trip to start the season, the Jaguars finally earned their first win of the season, and first since Scott took over the program in the spring, with a 69-66 win against UT-Martin in Wednesday night’s home opener.
“Turkey is going to taste a little better tomorrow,” Scott said. “I was concerned about that. I was like, ‘Man, we’re struggling right now. We’ve got a couple injuries,’
“But those guys came out a competed like they had something to prove tonight.”
While putting the first win under his belt was certainly a relief for Scott, he was more proud of the way it happened than any personal milestones.
Southern stifled any potential late pushes from the Skyhawks with a gritty defensive performance for the final eight minutes of the game.
