Well the end of March Madness is here and it has truly been a month of pure madness. Upsets were the talk of the tournament, and the killers of many of our brackets (at least they demolished mine). Every year, we look for a Cinderella story in the tournament, and this year it was Davidson University, led by sophomore sensation Stephan Curry, son of former NBA guard Dell Curry.
A long season for the Jackson State Lady Tigers ended on Saturday, March 22, as they were defeated by the LSU Lady Tigers in the first round of the NCAA Women's Tournament. However, the season ended on a much more successful note than it appeared with the loss.
The Jackson State Lady Tigers softball team split a Saturday SWAC double header with the Alabama A&M Lady Bulldogs at the JSU Softball Complex. AAMU won the first game 7-6 and JSU bounced back to win the second 4-2. Jessica Villegas suffered the loss in the opener.
Last season, the Jackson State men's basketball team had one of their most successful seasons in recent history, winning the SWAC Championship and playing in the NCAA Tournament. Much of the team's success can be attributed to the play of Trey Johnson. Johnson, who finished his senior season as the second leading scorer in the nation, led the Tigers to a 21-13 record in his final season at JSU.
