Southern Lost to Texas Southern 62-58. Southern Might be a borderline PostSeason Team.
Coach Banks is a coach that his players respect., We Are More Than A Basketball Program... We Are Family!” Coach Banks said “When you come here to play for Southern University you become part of my family and I want to do everything I can to help them be successful in basketball, but also in their careers and to be successful brothers, husbands, fathers and in life.”
Another Coach named Jethro
• Southern University from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, plays in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). The Jaguars finished 18-17 last season, falling just shy of an NCAA Tournament bid with a 62-58 loss to Texas Southern in the SWAC championship game.
• Guards Adrian Rodgers (13.1 PPG) and Trelun Banks (10.3 PPG) are the top returners for Southern. The Jaguars averaged 4.3 three-pointers per game last season, and Rodgers and Banks can claim 88 of the 93 treys from returning players on the 2015-16 roster.
• Southern began the 2014-15 campaign with a difficult non-conference slate, where they went only 5-12, including losses at Ole Miss, Minnesota, Iowa State and Baylor. The team rebounded, however, posting a 13-5 record in conference play, and then winning two games in the SWAC Tournament.
• After the Jaguars face the Razorbacks in Bud Walton Arena on Friday, they travel to Mississippi State for a matchup in Starkville on Monday, Nov. 16. The two SEC opponents are the only Power Five schools Southern will face in non-conference play.
Quotables
“Southern is a team that is predicted to be in the top two or three in their league. It is a team that is going to come in with some quickness and some athletes. They play teams like Arkansas all the time so they are going to come in here looking forward to an opportunity to come into bud Walton Arena and steal a game. We have to have the mindset that we have to protect the home court.”

• The Razorbacks have won 41 straight home openers, including a 22-0 record in openers inside Bud Walton Arena.
