Stephen F. Austin has never been what you would call a basketball school.
Located in Nacogdoches in the eastern part of the state, and like in all of Texas, football comes first.
But the Lumberjacks had a glorious era under Brad Underwood, now at Illinois, and current coach Kyle Keller has done well too.
SFA has become a tournament regular in the last few years although last year, at 14-16, was a bit of a comedown.
The Lumberjacks have started off 4-1 though with wins over two familiar opponents - NCCU, by 30, and Greg Paulus’ Niagara, by nine.
