The South Alabama women’s basketball team has another tough task in front of it. The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns come to the Mitchell Center. They will play in the 1st game of a men’s and women’s double header Saturday February 11th. The Jags are now just trying to play for seeding.
The Jags could still, believe it or not, get to the middle seeds. They will have to win out and get a little bit of help. Even though it’s highly unlikely, South Alabama could get hot at the right time, and put a few more wins together and get to a 10-12 seed in the Sun Belt Conference tournament. Right now the Jags sit as the 14th seed which is good for last place in the conference.
Louisiana comes to Mobile with a 14-11 overall record and 8-5 in the SBC. The Ragin Cajuns are led by…
Tamera Johnson- 12.0 PPG and 7.3 RPG
Laney Wheaton- 11.7 PPG and 3.9 RPG
Louisiana is averaging 58.8 points per game. The Cajuns are shooting 37% from the floor and 26 % from behind the three point line. Louisiana is averaging 35.4 rebounds per game.
The South Alabama Jaguars are led by…
Kelsey Thompson- 9.5 PPG and 4.1 RPG
Kiana Anderson- 7.7 PPG and 5.6 RPG
Nadia Howard- 7.0 PPG and 3.7 RPG.
The Jags this season are averaging 55.5 points per game, and are shooting 33% overall. South Alabama is shooting 27% from behind the 3 point line while averaging 37.3 rebounds per game.
Like I stated earlier, the Jags have their work cut out for them, but the job is not impossible. The Jags have a 6-18 record overall and are only 2-11 in the Sun Belt with just 5 conference games remaining. After today the Jags will have 2 road games at Arkansas State and at Texas st. Also there will be two home games remaining vs Georgia Southern and finishing the regular season vs Troy.
