THE OPPONENT

About THE JAGuaRS

After dropping its first three games of the season (all on the road on the west coast), Southern has won three of its last four games against California, Loyola-MD, and most recently a 112-52 demolishing of Champion Christian in what was their first home game of the season.

Southern was picked to finish third in the SWAC preseason poll behind only Texas Southern and Alcorn State. The Jaguars finished third in the league standings last season, going 12-6 in SWAC play (17-14 overall).

The Jaguars are one of four SWAC schools to defeat Pac-12 opponents this season. Southern won on the road at Cal while Grambling State defeated Colorado, Texas Southern downed Arizona State, and Prairie View A&M got past Washington State.

Bryson Etienne, one of two Jaguars voted to the Preseason All-SWAC team, has been the star for Southern so far this season. He is averaging 13.4 points per game, having knocked down a team-high 15 three-pointers. He is also averaging 3.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 2.1 steals per game.

Southern ranks in the top 10 in the country in steals per game (11.6) and turnovers forced per game (21.43). In two of their last three games, they have forced 31 turnovers.

Friday will mark the eighth meeting between LA Tech and Southern. The two teams played a home-and-home in 2006 and 2007 and then played three consecutive years from 2013-15. The Bulldogs have won three straight in the series and are a perfect 4-0 at home against the Jags.
