Alcorn State Storylines
For the Alcorn State Braves, the 2012-13 season was one to forget. The Braves may have finished tied for fifth in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, but stumbled to an 8-10 conference record, on their way to a 10-24 season. Alcorn not only struggled in the win-loss column, but also statistically. They ranked 313th in the nation in points per game (60.4), 259th in rebounds per game (32.6), 344th in assists per game (9.1) and 338th in field goal percentage (.385). Simply put, the Braves are glad that they can open a new chapter.
The departure of leading scorer Marquiz Baker means the Bluejays may see a lot more of LeAntwan Luckett. As a freshman, Luckett scored 13.4 points per game and picked up four rebounds per game while shooting 37.5 percent from the floor. Now a sophomore, the Ridgeland, Mississippi native is no doubt the Braves' best player. With the top leading scorer in 2012-13 in Baker, and the Braves' third leading scorer, Anthony Nieves, both departing in the offseason, the sophomore guard should get a bevy of opportunities to shoot the basketball.
