PREGAME RECAP — NORTH AMERICAN vs. LSU ALEXANDRIA
Written By Rev. Justin C. Jackson
STAFFORD, Texas — Saddle up, Stallion Nation! We're back inside The Stable tonight for another Red River Athletic Conference showdown as North American University (NAU) hosts the always-scrappy LSU Alexandria Generals at 7:30 PM CST. And yes—THIS ONE IS LIVE AND LOADED on YouTube.
The Stallions return home riding the momentum of a clutch 66–63 win over Xavier (La.), a defensive battle that showcased discipline, maturity, and late-game poise. Head Coach and the squad executed with the kind of grit that tells the conference, "We're not the new kid anymore—we're the threat in the room."
NAU has faced a gauntlet schedule early on—Colorado Christian, CSU–Pueblo, Bethel, Georgetown, Loyola—programs with banners and budgets. And after every test, the Stallions continue to sharpen steel with steel. Tonight is no different.
LSUA: A Team You Can't Sleep On
The Generals roll into town with firepower and close-call experience of their own:
-
One-point battle vs Texas Wesleyan
-
Road win over Nelson University
-
Strong showing vs No. 17 Georgetown
-
Conference victory over Louisiana Christian
Bottom line? They've been in tight games all season, and they won't fold late.
KEYS FOR NAU TONIGHT
Control tempo — The Stallions are at their best when the ball is moving, and legs are flying in transition.
Defensive discipline — LSUA thrives on exploiting lapses. NAU must communicate early and often.
Role players stepping up — We've seen flashes. Tonight someone's spark can become the wildfire.
Protect The Stable — Every conference win at home counts double in the standings and in the message it sends.
WHAT'S AT STAKE
A win tonight keeps NAU trending upward in RRAC conversations and strengthens their case as a legitimate postseason contender—a message Coach Jackson has been preaching to the campus all year.
STALLION NATION — YOUR ENERGY MATTERS
The crowd was electric against Xavier. Let's turn it up again.
Bring your voice. Bring your pride. Bring that NAU attitude.
