|
Posted By: Reginald Claremont on November 07, 2013 Third-year Head Coach Luther Riley and his Alcorn State basketball team gears up for an exciting year as they travel to Omaha, Nebraska, to face the Creighton Blue Jays for their first non-conference match-up of the season. Tip-off is set for 7:02 p.m., Friday, November 8, 2013, at CenturyLink Center. The Braves and Creighton will be aired on FOX Sports Midwest, AT&T U-Verse (1691), Dish Network (9516), and DirecTV (695-1). The Braves return to the hardwood after a 10-23 overall record and 8-10 in conference play. The Braves finished the 2013 season with a loss to Prairie View in the first round of the SWAC Tournament. Because of last seasons’ outcome, the Braves were picked to finish eighth in the SWAC Pre-Season rankings and had one player who earned pre-season honors. Returning for the Braves this season is sophomore LeAntwan Luckett who was second on the team in scoring (13.4 ppg) last season. Luckett scored in double-figures 25 times in the Braves 33 contests last season. Alongside Luckett are 6-1 guards Devante Hampton (5.4 ppg) and Anthony Evans (5.4 ppg). Newcomer Shaunessy Smith and freshman Rahkeem Lehaman are expected to see plenty of minutes for the Braves throughout the season. -ALCORN- Alcorn State University is a premier comprehensive land-grant university that develops diverse students into globally competitive leaders, and applies scientific research through collaborative partnerships that benefit the surrounding communities, state, nation, and world.
