SOUTHWEST RELEASES 2004-2005 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE
Release written by
Keith Gentry
Southwest Athletic Director Verties Sails, Jr. has released the
2004-2005 basketball schedule, which includes eleven home men’s
and women’s doubleheaders. The Saluqis and Lady Saluqis tip-off
the season with the Alumni Game on Friday, October 29 at the
Verties Sails Gymnasium. Game times are 6 and 8 p.m.
Southwest opens the regular season on Monday, November 1 in
Clarksdale, Mississippi, taking on Coahoma Community College.
The women’s game will begin at 6 p.m., followed by the men at 8
p.m. The first home game for the Southwest men will be on
Saturday, November 6, when the Saluqis take on Kennedy-King
College at 7:30 p.m. On Tuesday, November 9, both the Southwest
men and women will host Northwest Mississippi in the first home
game for the Lady Saluqis.
On Friday, November 12, Southwest hosts Roane State Community
College in the first TJCCAA game of the season. On Saturday,
November 13 the Saluqis and Lady Saluqis will host Walters
State. The Walters State men are the defending TJCCAA/Region
VII champions, while the women’s team lost to Southwest in the
region semifinals a year ago.
Also featured on the men’s schedule are non-conference games
against Southeastern Illinois, the nation’s 6th-ranked team last
year and a national tournament semi-finalist, and a trip to
Chicago, Illinois for the Kennedy-King Tournament on December
17-18. The Lady Saluqis will play in two tournaments – the
Georgia Perimeter Tournament on November 26-27, and the Lady
Saluqi Classic, which Southwest will host on December 27-28 at
the Verties Sails Gym.
The 2004-2005 TJCCAA/Region VII Tournament will be held March
8-12 at Roane State Community College in Harriman, Tennessee.
The tournament champions will advance to the national
tournaments March 22-26 in Hutchinson, Kansas (men) or Salina,
Kansas (women).
