Bethune-Cookman and Alabama State Clash in Key SWAC Showdown on HBCU GO
Posted By: Will Moss on February 01, 2026


HBCU sports fans, get ready for an electrifying basketball doubleheader this Saturday on HBCU GO! The Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) takes center stage as the Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats and the Alabama State University Hornets go head-to-head in a pivotal conference matchup.

Originally scheduled to feature Livingstone College and Winston-Salem State University, the HBCU GO basketball television slate has been reshuffled due to inclement weather. This turn of events has elevated the Bethune-Cookman and Alabama State clash, giving the HBCU community a must-see event to look forward to.

The action tips off at the Dunn-Oliver Acadome in Montgomery, Alabama, with the women's game at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the men's showdown at 3:30 p.m. ET. Both programs are navigating crucial moments in their conference seasons, setting the stage for an intense afternoon of HBCU basketball.

Key Takeaway: The SWAC takes center stage on HBCU GO, giving the HBCU community a chance to witness two programs in the thick of their conference campaigns as they battle for positioning and momentum.

The women's game opens the day, with the Alabama State Hornets riding a three-game winning streak and the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats looking to regain their footing as the SWAC schedule intensifies.



Beyond the scoreboard, this matchup holds significant implications for the teams' conference aspirations.

Immediately following the women's game, viewers can tune in to the HBCU GO Sports Crossover Show, hosted by Jasmine McKoy and Tolly Carr. This week's episode features HBCU basketball insider Thai Floyd, who will provide league-wide analysis, highlights, and perspective as teams jockey for position in the heart of their conference seasons.

The men's game promises high stakes, as the No. 1-ranked Bethune-Cookman Wildcats look to extend their grip on the top spot in the SWAC standings. Meanwhile, the Alabama State Hornets will aim to protect their home court and inject late-season momentum into the conference race.

"This SWAC doubleheader on HBCU GO is a must-see event for the HBCU community. It showcases the intense competition and high-stakes battles that define conference play for our beloved basketball programs. Tune in and support your HBCU teams as they fight for positioning and pride in the heart of the season."
