2006 was the year that they played Duke. I don't recall us ever leading. But we did make some runs.

I know that SU sold out all their ticket allotment. If I would have known that flying out of Dallas was going to be cheaper then 800 flying out of NOLA I would have stayed my azz in Dallas for a few more days.

Southern played to win

SALT LAKE CITY – As Southern University’s players walked off the EnergySolutions Arena floor and toward their locker room, evidence mounted that these uncooperative underdogs really never believed they were going to lose.

There was junior forward Javan Mitchell, waltzing numbly past the cheerleaders, the pep band, the guy or girl in the Jaguar mascot costume. That mascot patted each player on the back, slapped him five, offered non-verbal congratulations for a battle well-fought and a season well-spent.

Even the Jaguar looked sad.

I think the Advocate didn't send a reporter out to Utah because the paper was under the impression (like most of the country) that the No.1 vs. No.16 matchup was going to be a blowout like almost all the 1-16 games have been over the years.

That's no excuse. Southern is a Louisiana school right there in Baton Rouge, and the Advocate should have had someone there. Shouldn't matter if there was an expected blowout.

"Dinner took place at Texas De Brazil, a Brazilian-style steakhouse where waiters carried large skewers of meat and sharp knives for carving. There was sausage, Parmesan chicken, chicken drumsticks, lamb, lamb chops, top sirloin, garlic sirloin, steak wrapped in bacon, chicken wrapped in bacon, beef ribs and pork ribs. One staff member, poor guy, had given up meat for Lent."

That's some good eating. Glad to hear S.U. basketball players were well taken care of. :tup:

Here's what the Arkansas Democrate-Gazette had to say about the Jags......




Gonzaga survives a Southern scare

Associated Press


SALT LAKE CITY-

It was every front-runner's nightmare.

Top-seeded Gonzaga ran into a No.16 seed that wasn't playing like one, a crowd itching for an upset and the very real prospect of making NCAA Tournament history in a most embarrassing way.

Somehow, the Bulldogs maneuvered their way out of that mess Thursday with a 64-58 victory over Southern University of Baton Rouge, but not before they provided plenty of fodder for all those who wondered if that small school from the small conference really belonged at the top of the West Region bracket.

"The more I watched the film on them, the more I thought, 'This could be a real grinder'", Gonzaga Coach Mark Few said of the Jaguars, champions of the Southwestern Athletic Conference. "They don't give you many easy opportunities. They're very patient on offense."

Gonzaga's victory wasn't safely in hand until the final buzzer sounded. No.1 seeds improved to 113-0 since the NCAA Tournament field was expanded to 64 teams in 1985..

Led by Derick Beltran's 21 points, Southern (23-10) made life hard on the West Coast Conference champions from beginning to end, blocking eight shots, making 10 three-pointers, harassing its star player, Kelly Olynk, and never letting the Bulldogs out of striking distance.

Olynk scored 17 of his 21 points in the second half to help the Bulldgos (32-2) advance to Saturday's game against Wichita State.

But there was no celebration. Just a sigh of relief.

"That crowd gets going, everyone wants to see that first 1-16 loss," Few said. "My guys deserve credit. They showed a lot of poise down the stretch when things weren't going their way."

The Jaguars never stopped scrapping.

"We were basically an unknown ballclub that showed they can play the game of basketball," Southern Coach Roman Banks said. "But we came here to win a ballgame, not play a ballgame,"

The article also went on to say how Beltran hit a 14-footer on the baseline to close out a 15-4 Southern run and tie the game........how Beltran's free throws to cut the deficit to one.......
