The South Alabama Jaguars lost their third consecutive game and fourth in six outings, falling 62-58 to Louisiana-Monroe on Thursday night. The Jaguars, who trailed for most of the game, made a late rally but couldn't overcome the Warhawks. South Alabama coach Richie Riley expressed concern about the team's recent slump and emphasized the need to find consistency.
The Jaguars dropped their third straight game and fourth in six outings on Thursday night, falling 62-58 Louisiana-Monroe at the Mitchell Center. It was South Alabama ’s second loss in four days to the Warhawks, who came into Thursday in last place but swept the season series for the first time since 2018.
South Alabama trailed nearly throughout on Thursday, falling behind by 13 points in both halves before a furious rally in the final 10 minutes. The Jaguars actually took the lead at 52-51 with 5:27 remaining and were tied twice in the final 2:36 behind several big shots by Judah Brown, but could not finish off the comeback.
Brown led the Jaguars with 21 points, while JJ Wheat added 12 and John Broom grabbed 10 rebounds. However, Barry Dunning and Myles Corey — South Alabama’s top two scorers this season — provided just 9 points on Thursday after averaging a combined 27.6 entering the night.
