The South Alabama men’s basketball team begins an extremely important four game home stand, starting Saturday 5 pm at the Mitchell Center. There is still uncertainty with the Jags season as far as seeding and where they could end up. As of today the Jags are tied with Texas St. for 10th place in the Sunbelt Conference. While the chance of the winning the regular season championship are at zero percent. They can however play for better seeding for the upcoming conference tournament.
The Jags have a tough game to start the home stand. App State is currently sitting in a four way tie for 5th place. The Mountaineers have an overall record of 14-12 and 7-6 in the Sunbelt. App St is lead by…
Donovan Gregory- 11.9 PPG and 4.1 RPG
Tyree Boykin- 11.6 PPG and 2.8 RPG
Terence Harcum- 11.0 PPG and 2.4 RPG
The Mountaineers as a team are averaging 70.9 points per game and giving up 63.5 PPG. App St is averaging 36.4 rebounds per game and shooting 33.4% from the three point line.
South Alabama is lead by….
Isaiah Moore- 18.8 PPG and 3.4 RPG
Kevin Samuel- 10.4 PPG and 9.3 RPG
Tyrell “Turbo” Jones- 9.9 PPG and 3.3 RPG
The Jags are averaging 69.6 points per game. Interestingly enough the Jags are giving up 66.9 points per game. That means that the Jags are playing in a lot of very close games. They are shooting 45.4 % as a team, 33.0 rebounds per game and 32.2 % behind the three point line.
The Jags only have 6 game’s remaining, 4 home games, and only 5 games left in conference play. So every game from here on out, is very important leading up to conference play. Like I stated before this home stand will be difficult it includes a game vs Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles are in first place in the Sunbelt Conference. They close out the home schedule vs ULM.
