BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern can’t escape games like these.These contests decided by one point, sometimes two, between the Jaguars and whichever Southwestern Athletic Conference opponent they face that night.
In Southern’s 63-61 win Saturday against Alabama State, the Jaguars avoided a crushing home loss in a game in which they never trailed.
Southern was taken to overtime by Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State in its previous two games.
These games — too close for Southern’s comfort — won’t go away.
“Knowing it's going to be tough, we've just got to keep grinding it out," said Eddie Reese, Southern's leading scorer with 14 points.
Forward Jared Sam added nine points, a quiet night by his lofty standards.
With 3.2 seconds to go, Alabama State guard Reginald Gee, who finished with a game-high 20 points, buried a 3-pointer multiple feet behind the perimeter arc, chipping Southern’s lead to 62-61.
