Texas Southern (NET #159/KP #187) are the third and highest ranked SWAC team we'll face in our OOC schedule. After starting the season with 7 consecutive losses, they upset Florida 69-54 and just followed that up with a 70-60 victory over UT-Rio Grande Valley on Tuesday.
They are one season removed from an NCAA appearance where they lost to #1 seed Michigan 82-66 in the Round of 64. They return/boast a lot of length, athleticism, and talent - which includes Houston grad transfer Brison Gresham.
Like our last opponents, Florida A&M, they don't shoot the 3 ball well (27%) but don't take many deep shots either (just under 15 3s/game). They're a very strong offensive rebounding team that averages just under 14 boards/game.
This match-up will hopefully serve as a Q3 game for us on our NET profile.
