Bryan’s Takes

The Jaguars are red hot and will have to stay red hot if they want to win the Sun Belt Tournament Championship. This is a SINGLE elimination tournament. The Jaguars face a tough #6 seed James Madison. That winner is likely to face #2 seed Marshall. Number one seed Louisiana is in the other bracket.
If South advanced all the way to the championship game. they would likely play Louisiana. The Cajuns swept the Jags earlier this season in a series at Lafayette. That was the last time the Jags lost a game. This is a very winnable tournament for the Jags, but they will have to continue their excellent play.

South Alabama has won 7 in a row for the second time this season. The Jaguars should be closing in on a chance at automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals. They just have to keep taking care of business.
The Jags have 6 regular season games remaining. Three at 10th place Sun Belt rival Southern Miss and 3 at home versus Troy where the Jaguars are 17-3. Between Lackie and Jenna Hardy and the offensive players that the Jags have. This should be an outstanding postseason run, the Jags are about make. South Alabama’s record has improved to 32-13 and 14-4 in the Sun Belt Conference. The Jags are in third place but only 2 games out of first place. Troy has lost two straight, so South was able to put a little more distance between them and Troy.
