Basketball Teams To Face Jackson State Saturday Afternoon
The TSU women enter Saturday’s game looking to end a seven-game losing streak to JSU dating back to February of 2019. TSU is coming off a home split last weekend as they defeated Mississippi Valley State but fell to UAPB. A pair of freshmen lead TSU as Michah Gray averages 16.3 points followed by 6.4 rebounds from Jaida Belton.

TSU head coach Johnny Jones is 13-1 lifetime against JSU as he has faced JSU as head coach at Memphis, North Texas and TSU. He’s 8-1 against JSU as TSU’s head coach.
Since 2007, TSU is 22-12 against JSU and has won 14 of the past 16 dating back to 2015. TSU has won eight of the past nine against JSU. Since 2012, TSU is 17-6 against JSU but five of the six losses have been in Jackson.
