Brandon Davis posted 27 points and nine rebounds, with Daon Merritt and Demetric Bennett collecting 15 and 14 points, respectively, to lead the Jaguars to an 81-77 win over New Orleans on March 9 in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament.  The victory — USA’s 17th in a row at the Mitchell Center, and 26th overall — helped the Jags set a new school record for wins in a season.  On March 16, it was announced that the Jags earned an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history; they would face Butler in Birmingham five days later, getting 14 points from Merritt in his final collegiate game as USA would finish the year 26-7 after falling to the Bulldogs.
