SFA (14-15, 7-10) vs. Sam Houston (20-10, 15-2)

WHEN: MAR. 9 (SAT) 4:30 P.M.
WHERE: Johnson Coliseum (Nacogdoches, TX)
WATCH: ESPN3


Today Sam Houston will get the crowd they deserve for the final game of an incredible season that saw them defy most predictions and pretty easily handle the Southland Conference regular season. Unfortunately for them, all those people will be booing their performance and cheering anything the other team does well. This is SFA, and Sam Houston - "You STILL suck" - even if we don't yell that anymore.

No crystal ball needed for the myriad of results that can happen for all 6 teams still vying for those final playoff spots. All the Jacks can do is look for this final game against their bitterest rival. Win and we keep playing next week; lose and this humbling season is at its logical whimper of an end. (If anyone is interested to look over playoff possibilities and how they were figured you can here: Katy Watch.) It's been 14 years since the Lumberjacks haven't attended the SLC tourney, and it will be a definite blow to the program to miss this year.

Jovan, Bogues, and Fitz will be suiting up in white and purple for the last time today in WRJ.

Grujic is the only player from the Underwood time that has been basically available each week the last four years. He has had some magical fan-fueled performances and honestly has been playing some of his best basketball this past month. Come out to yell for him.

Fitzgerald was here for too short a time to really establish his presence. A couple of 30-point games showed that he had the skills to score, but he never quite secured the absence of TJ in the post. He stuck through this rough season, and didn't shirk his responsibilities though. In a tough year, it's good to see someone willing to plow on through. He deserves a hand today.

Shannon Bogues. The name by itself is enough to create fear in the hearts of his opponents. One of the quickest players to 1,000 points in SFA history, some days his shots were unstoppable. He is a one man highlight reel, and popping up over a defender at the arc to bury a three will be a lasting image for years to come. His final runner against Baylor was definitely the highlight of this 2018-19 team. If he had been here for four years, his name would probably been up there with the all-time SFA greats, but as it is, his goals are going to be unfulfilled. Today though he will become the SFA leader in consecutive double-digit scoring efforts at 31 games. For all that he's given, he will get a standing ovation on his home court.

Thank you seniors.

The season is not done yet. We've got some Bearkats to send home crying. Come out and make sure it happens.

Axe 'em!

Good article nacluth. I'm in San Antonio for the boys state tourney. Will be the first home game to miss this year. Which may actually translate to a win for the Jacks. Let's do this!!!

I'll admit, it's been quite the rough season. Outside of watching Kevon & Shannon play 2 on 5 and still come out with All-Conference scoring efforts, it's not been the season we expected.

But today is simple. Our most hated rival is coming to town. Win and in. I've seen some debbie downers over on the pick 'em thread shacking up with Prison Tech, just to win a paid vacation cruise package.

Seems like to some of you, all hope is lost, we don't stand a chance, and this season is over

But let me ask you, was it over when a Bearkat left the back gate at the Alamo open & unguarded?

Was it over when a Bearkat let the Texas Seven Escape?

Was it over when the Lumberjacks were down 4 against VCU?

We're Lumberjacks and this is March. The night is darkest before the dawn, this is the comeback that 30 for 30s are made of. It starts tonight. Senior Night featuring Shannon Bogues. Our House. Win & In.

Let's go Axe some Bearkats!

I'm down! We are still in the game. Yes, it's been soooo inconsistent this season. Shouldn't have to come down to the last game. But man....what a climatic ending...Jacks have to win to make tournament. Home turf. Against our biggest rival, who happens to be #1. Last game for some...or is it?

This is the epitome of March Madness. So let's get a little crazy & scream/cheer like Purple Haze this afternoon at the Sawmill. Shannon deserves our support. Lumberjack pride, ya'll. #AxeEm

Hopefully, Cheesy Crap Cruise Line won't be setting sail for at least another week, Texan.

Thought for sure you'd dye the beard purple for a rivalry game.

But the daughter gets an A+ for school spirit!

t's not a true Sawmill reunion, but if you would like to meet and shake hands with some fellow Sawmillers, let's meet on the concourse at the top of the stairs between section 107/108 after the Ladyjacks Senior presentation.

Nevermind, they are giving out shirts there. Let's do it under the Murray Shaw Room name at the back of the concourse.

TJ not recognized on Senior Day. Does that mean he's back next year or that he's gone??????

About 10 points better at the first media than last time we played them.

Way too many minutes for Jovan, can't rebound and can't defend.

AND HE'S TAKING THREES?!?!?!

My bad, I was predicting 4 points for the night and he was trying to get 3/4 in one shot.

Lazy effort out there. Sad to see us not boxing out and just standing around in the biggest game of the year.

Maybe not getting Sam's best shot, but glad that we're in this 26 minutes in.

I'm gonna see if they'll let me run the Houstonian twitter account in the 2nd half.

I could really take their tweeting to the next level.

Uca wins. Guaranteed 3 way tie for 7th with Hbu/CC loser and us, if we win.

What's the breakers? 3 teams for 2 spots.

Master, if we win, we're #7, UCA #8, HBU/Corpus loser eliminated. Otherwise, we're out and the loser is in. NWST and Nicholls already eliminated.
