Preview: Grambling Tigers at Texas Southern Tigers HOUSTON (Interstat) — A pair of SWAC rivals sharing the Tigers nickname will meet Saturday when Grambling visits Texas Southern at Health & P.E. Arena. The game is a rematch of a Jan. 5 contest in which Grambling (11-12, 6-4 SWAC) dominated Texas Southern (7-15, 5-5) in an 84-67 home victory. That result is part of a recent split for Grambling, which has alternated wins and losses over its last five games. It is coming off a 58-66 home loss to Alabama A&M on Monday. Texas Southern is looking to rebound from a tough 69-79 overtime road loss at Bethune-Cookman on Monday. The team has shown flashes, including a road win at Florida A&M on Feb. 7, but has struggled for consistency. Grambling’s fortunes often follow the play of guard Roderick Coffee, who has been a workhorse. He is averaging 38.2 minutes over his last five games, scoring 17.2 points per contest in that span. In the Jan. 5 win over Texas Southern, Coffee’s stat line was not provided in the available data, but his recent form suggests he will be central to the game plan. For Texas Southern, guard Bryce Roberts provides a key scoring threat. He logged 43 minutes and scored 16 points in the overtime loss to Bethune-Cookman and had a season-high 26 points in a narrow loss at Jackson State on Jan. 19. His performance against Grambling’s backcourt will be critical. The matchup features two teams heading in different directions within the conference standings. Grambling sits above .500 in SWAC play and will look to solidify its position, while Texas Southern aims to climb back to an even conference record and avenge its earlier loss. Following this game, Grambling travels to face Prairie View on Monday. Texas Southern remains at home to host Southern on Monday. Tip-off is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, in Houston.
