• South Alabama closes the regular season with two home games at the Mitchell Center. The Jaguars host ULM on Feb. 25 before honoring five seniors — Chaze Harris, JJ Wheat, Randy Brady, Maxwell Land and Hantz Louis-Jeune — on Senior Night against Southern Miss on Feb. 27.

• Chaze Harris leads the Sun Belt in scoring at 18.9 points per game (22.4 in conference play).
