What to Know
The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks will take on the Jackson State Tigers in a holiday battle at 3 p.m. ET on Tuesday at William R. Johnson Coliseum. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they’ll have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W.’
Stephen F. Austin came up short against the Kansas Jayhawks this past Saturday, falling 80-72. The Lumberjacks’ loss shouldn’t obscure the performances of forward Sadaidriene Hall, who had 14 points in addition to seven boards, and guard David Kachelries, who had 18 points and five assists.
Meanwhile, Jackson State was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap this past Thursday as they fell 70-65 to the Drake Bulldogs. Guard Jonas James had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with only seven points on 3-for-12 shooting in his 38 minutes on the court.
The losses put Stephen F. Austin at 8-4 and Jackson State at 2-9. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: Stephen F. Austin enters the contest with a 48.80% field goal percentage, good for 20th best in college basketball. Less enviably, the Tigers are stumbling into the game with the 353rd fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 57.1 on average.
