TSU hammering out the kinks ahead of SWAC opener

HOUSTON, Texas -- As the Texas Southern Tigers try to get back to the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive season, coach Mike Davis will talk with the Chronicle about the ups and downs, the struggles and highlights during the journey of the 2015-16 season.

Texas Southern men's basketball coach Mike Davis was getting ready to head to campus late Wednesday morning.

It doesn't feel like Christmas this week for the Tigers. It feels like a regular day of practice is on hand. They'll be playing catch-up in the gym.

"I may give them Christmas off, but that's about it," Davis said.

This week is one of the few where TSU has a chance to be in its gym practicing.

The last clip of non-conference games could shape how TSU enters conference play. Davis has maintained how important Southwestern Athletic Conference play is to a mid-major team like TSU trying to make it back to the NCAA Tournament. This is a team that has no choice but to win its conference tournament.
