HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University men's and women's basketball teams open Southland Conference play to highlight this week in Southeastern Athletics.
 
Fresh off winning the inaugural Southland Tip-Off championship, the Lions (7-9) have two games on tap this week. SLU has added a nonconference matchup versus Tougaloo College on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the University Center. On Saturday, Southeastern opens league play with a 4 p.m. home contest versus Northwestern State.
 
The SLU women's basketball team (4-6) will open Saturday's action with a 1 p.m. league opener versus NSU. Saturday's game will feature the "We Back Pat" promotion, as the contest will be dedicated to the fight against Alzheimer's Disease in the memory of late Tennessee women's basketball coaching legend Pat Summitt.
