BATON ROUGE, La. — Southern University women's basketball returns to the F.G. Clark Activity Center on Thursday, February 5th, as the Lady Jaguars host Alabama State in a key SWAC match-up. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m., with conference positioning and momentum on the line as the season moves deeper into league play.
Southern enters the contest looking to protect its home court and build consistency against a familiar conference opponent. The Lady Jaguars have leaned on an aggressive defensive approach and balanced scoring throughout the season, using pressure defense to force turnovers and create transition opportunities. At home, Southern has shown added energy, feeding off the crowd and playing with intensity on both ends of the floor.
Alabama State arrives in Baton Rouge aiming to disrupt that rhythm. The Lady Hornets traditionally emphasize disciplined half-court execution and physical rebounding, making this match-up a contrast in styles. Limiting second-chance points and controlling tempo will be central to their game plan as they look to steal a road win.
Key factors to watch include Southern's ability to convert defensive stops into fast-break points and Alabama State's success in slowing the game down and winning the battle inside. Whichever team controls the boards and takes care of the basketball will have a strong edge late.
With conference standings tightening, Thursday night's showdown carries added importance for both programs. Fans can expect a competitive, hard-fought SWAC clash when the Lady Jaguars and Lady Hornets tip off at 6 p.m. at the F.G. Clark Activity Center.
