HUNTSVILLE, AL -- Southern returns to the floor Thursday night for its final game of the season with momentum and history on its side, as Southern University faces off with Alabama A&M Bulldogs in a 6 PM SWAC showdown.
The Jaguars have long controlled this match-up, owning a 30–12 advantage in the all-time series, and will look to reinforce that trend with another strong performance in front of the home crowd. Southern's success in the rivalry has often been fueled by disciplined defense, efficient ball movement, and an ability to dictate tempo—keys that will again be central to Tuesday's game plan.
Alabama A&M enters the contest determined to challenge that narrative. The Bulldogs will look to slow the pace, limit transition opportunities, and capitalize on second-chance points in hopes of keeping the game within reach late. Their ability to handle Southern's defensive pressure and convert on the perimeter could be pivotal if they are to pull off a road upset.
For Southern, establishing control early will be a priority. Strong starts have been a hallmark in past meetings, allowing the Jaguars to play with confidence and force opponents to chase the game. Defensive intensity and rebounding will likely set the tone, especially as both teams jockey for position within the SWAC standings.
The match-up promises a blend of rivalry, familiarity, and conference urgency, with every possession carrying added weight as the season progresses. Fans can catch all the action live on SWAC TV, as the Jaguars look to defend home court and further extend their historical edge in the series.
