The game pits the league’s stingiest defenses against one another as the Tigers boast the SWAC’s best scoring defense at 67.9 points allowed per game. Alcorn is second at 70.6 points allowed. In league play, the numbers are more impressive as JSU has only surrendered a SWAC-leading 57.3 points per game. Alcorn is second at 63.0. - Grambling State’s Ervin Mitchell was named player of the week after back-to-back 20-point games. He currently leads the SWAC in scoring at 17.3 points per game.

Friendly confines have been good to TSU, who boasts a sparkling home record of 50-4 against conference opposition in home games since the 2010 season.

The NCAA automatic qualifier shall be the winner of the Conference postseason tournament:

A. If the tournament is won by an NCAA tournament-eligible team, that team gets the AQ. If the tournament is won by a team ineligible for NCAA postseason, the team (among those eligible for the NCAA tournament) that advances the furthest in the SWAC tournament will be the league’s AQ. If two or more NCAA tournament-eligible teams are eliminated in the same round of the conference tournament (i.e. the tournament’s semifinals), the tie-breaking procedure utilized by the league to seed the championship will break the tie to determine the higher-seeded team as the automatic qualifier. For example, if the SWAC tournament championship game features two teams that are ineligible for the tournament, and both defeated tournament-eligible teams to advance to the final, the tiebreaker would go to the semifinal loser that was the highest-seeded team in the conference tournament.

B. In the event the tournament cannot be played or is not played to completion, the Conference regular champion shall be the automatic qualifier, if the regular season champion is not eligible for the NCAA tournament, the AQ will be awarded to the highest eligible finishing regular season team.

C. In the event of a tie for seeding, the following procedures will be used:

1). Two-team ties:a). Head-to Head competitionb). Point Differential between the tied teams if the season series is splitc). Record against highest seeded team (proceed downward) until the tie is brokend). Coin Toss2). Ties involving three or more teams:a). Record between teams that are tied (Won-Lost-Record)b). If still tied, record against the highest seed & proceed downwardc). Coin-Toss

Texas Southern 87, Alcorn State 82 (Jan. 7)

PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas. - Texas Southern overcame a 10-point halftime deficit and a career night from Prairie View A&M guard Tevin Bellinger to down the rival Panthers 87-82.

Zach Lofton scored 21 points and Jalan McCloud added 16 for Texas Southern (7-9, 3-0), which opened the second half on a 20-10 run, and built a 65-55 edge with just under 10 minutes left Marvin Jones and Kevin Scott scored 15 points each for the Tigers, who trailed 41-31 at the break. Bellinger -- who scored a career-high 24 points -- stole the ball and raced for a layup to cut the gap to 79-77 with 2:05 to play. Ja’Donta Blakely (12 points) stole Texas Southern’ s next possession, only to have McCloud steal it right back and make two free throws after being fouled.

A Lofton basket with just under a minute to play put Texas Southern ahead for good. Zachary Hamilton added 13 for the Panthers (3-14, 0-3) who have lost 11 of their last 12.
