HOUSTON, TX -- The Southern University women's basketball team hits the road Thursday evening, traveling I-10 West to Houston to take on Texas Southern University in a key Southwestern Athletic Conference match-up. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. at the H&PE Arena.

Southern enters the contest looking to build momentum as conference play continues to tighten. The Lady Jaguars have emphasized defensive intensity and rebounding in recent outings, areas that will be critical against a Texas Southern squad known for its physical style of play and ability to push the tempo on its home floor.

Offensively, Southern will look to establish rhythm early, focusing on ball movement and attacking the paint while capitalizing on transition opportunities. Consistent execution and limiting turnovers will be a priority as the Jaguars face a Tigers team that thrives on defensive pressure.

Texas Southern, playing in front of its home crowd, will aim to protect its court and gain valuable positioning in the SWAC standings. The Tigers' depth and athleticism present a challenge, making focus and discipline essential for Southern over all four quarters.

Thursday's matchup marks another important test in the conference race, with both teams seeking a late-season push.
