PEORIA, Ill. – The Jackson State women's basketball team returns to the road and will meet up with Bradley, a program out of the Missouri Valley Conference.
 
The Braves enter with a 7-1 record and have won six in a row, while JSU stands at 1-6. JSU has dropped its past two games at Central Arkansas and Southeastern Louisiana by a combined seven points.
 
Last Time Out
 
Dayzsha Rogan scored a game-high 19 points in a tight loss for the Lady Tigers to Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday afternoon, 63-59.
 
The Tigers trailed by nine points at the half and by five points with under a minute left in regulation but cut the lead down to two points with less than 10-seconds left on the clock in the 4th quarter.
 
SLU knocked down two free throws put enough distance between the Lady Lions and JSU as SLU ultimately went on to with 63-59.
 
Rogan tallied a game-high 19 points, finishing 6-of-16 from the field. Rogan also grabbed a team-highs in rebounds with eight total and steals with three in the contest.
 
Marneisha Hamer added 12 points along with a team-high eight rebounds (tied with Rogan).
 
Elexis Peyton collected eight points on 3-of-4 shooting and two 3-pointers.
 
As a team, JSU was 22-of-60 (36.7 percent) shooting with seven made 3-pointers, 45 rebounds (17 offense, 28 defensive), 22 points in the paint, and 22 points off of the bench.
 
Top 25 Opponents
 
JSU has met up with three top 25 teams: No. 18 Miami, No. 21 Indiana and No. 10 Mississippi State. The Lady Tigers are clearly not afraid to schedule quality competition.
 
1000-Point Club
 
JSU senior forward Marneisha Hamer made history earlier this month at Indiana and joined the 1000-point club. The Memphis native tallied 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for her first double-double of the season and secured point 1000 on a second-chance opportunity in front of the basket.
 
Offense Looks to Click
 
Last season the Lady Tigers ran opponents out of gym – literally. The Blue and White averaged 72.9 points per game and coupled that with a defense that allowed 64.1 points per game, made JSU a very difficult out. With Sumer Williams, Hamer and Lucky returning, the addition of Williams and several newcomers, the offense looks to take a step forward.
 
Scouting Bradley
