THE OPPONENT
About THE LUMBERJACKS
Stephen F. Austin has been up-and-down this season, winning three of its first four games followed by a stretch of losing three of four games. The Lumberjacks cracked the .500 barrier this past Sunday with a lopsided 103-40 victory at home against Paul Quinn.
SFA played in the Western Athletic Conference for the first season last year, claiming the WAC regular season title with a 14-4 league mark. The Lumberjacks were picked to finish third in the 2022-23 WAC preseason rankings behind Grand Canyon and New Mexico State.
Offensively, SFA ranks 28th in the country in field goal percentage at 47.4. Defensively, they excel at turning people over, ranking fourth in the country in forced TOs at 18.06 per game.
The Lumberjacks get contributions from everyone as seven different players average at least eight points per game. They are anchored by the trio of Sadaidriene Hall, Latrell Jossell, and Nigel Hawkins who average 12-13 points per game. Hall was was an All-WAC Preseason Second Team selection.
Wednesday will mark the 15th meeting alltime between LA Tech and Stephen F. Austin. The meetings have been scattered throughout the years, first playing in 1939. The two squads last played a home-and-home in 2017-18 with the road team winning both times.
The Bulldogs have won five of the last six meetings, including a 96-93 overtime victory in Nacogdoches in 2018.
