Texas Southern is on a seven game win streak as they sit in the two spot of several categories of the conference, in  scoring Defense (61.5), Field Goal Percentage (.383), Field Goal Percentage Defense (.379), Rebounding Defense (38.2), and Assists (11.9).
 
“Texas Southern always plays tough,” said head coach Freda Freeman-Jackson.  “They are playing great right now and we have our hands full.  We know what we have to do and that is to make sure that we execute our offense as well as our defense.  We are still trying to tweak some things because we feel that we are a great team, but we simply need to make sure that we finish our games.  We have been cheating ourselves out of wins and not doing what we need to do to get the win.”
