HAMMOND – The Southeastern Louisiana University men's basketball team looks for its first road win of the season when it travels to Baton Rouge to face in-state rival Southern University on Tuesday at the F.G. Clark Activity Center.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. The game can be heard in the Hammond area on KSLU-FM (90.9) and on the internet at www.LionSports.net.

Southeastern (2-3) bounced back from a two-game losing streak with a 99-59 win over Dillard University on Saturday behind career-high performances from Kevyn Green and Chris Cyprian. Green scored 30 points in the victory, going 11-for-16 from the floor and 5-for-6 from 3-point range as the Lions never trailed in the contest.

Cyprian, a former Hammond High product, established his career-high in the opening half scoring 16 points before sitting out the final 20 minutes. Patrick Sullivan added 13 points for the Lions, who shot a season-high 61 percent from the floor and 47 percent from behind the 3-point arc.

Green, who will exhaust his eligibility Jan. 10 in the Southland Conference opener at Lamar, leads Southeastern in scoring at 21.0 points per game followed by Patterson's Warrell Span (11.8), Cyprian (10.0) and Sullivan (9.8). Freshman Brandon Fortenberry, who dished out nine assists against Dillard, rounds out the starting lineup at 7.2 points for Southeastern with a team-high 5.2 assists.

Robert Tibbs, who missed a double-double against the Blue Devils after scoring eight points with 11 rebounds, is Southeastern's top player off the bench averaging 7.4 points per game. DeShawn Patterson (4.6), Antonio Pope (3.5), Jeremy Dunbar (3.4) and David Ndoumba (1.0) are the key reserves for the Lions, who enter the game averaging 80.4 points per game and are shooting 47 percent from the floor and 40 percent from behind the 3-point line.

Defensively, Span leads Southeastern with 8.4 rebounds per game followed by Sullivan at 6.4. Sullivan has also blocked 13 shots in the first five games and 124 in his career and needs seven blocks to tie former Lion Thelander Tillman for the Southeastern all-time record.

While Southeastern is looking for its first road win in four tries, Southern (0-4) is looking to snap a season-opening four-game losing streak that was extended with a 61-57 loss at previously winless UNO on Saturday. Chris Davis and Brian Talley scored 12 and 10 points respectively for the Jaguars, who shot 36 percent against the Privateers and committed 19 turnovers.

Southern, which has scored 57.8 points per game, has dropped both of its home contests with a 78-67 loss to Tougaloo College in the season-opener and a 69-64 setback to Talladega College.

Davis leads Southern in scoring at 11.0 points per game with Barry Honore' (8.5) and Steffon Wiley (8.3) following. Former Istrouma product Douglas Scott leads the Jaguars with 5.3 rebounds per contest while Wiley has averaged a team-high 5.0 assists.

The game will mark the 30th meeting between the rivals, located less than an hour apart, with Southern holding a 16-13 lead. Southeastern has won five of the last six meetings between the schools, including a 58-46 win in last season's contest at the University Center.

Southeastern has claimed two of the last three games in Baton Rouge, including a 70-59 win in the 2006-07 game and an 81-63 victory during the Lions' 20-9 campaign in 2003-04.
