GARLAND, TEXAS – Alcorn State advanced to the SWAC tournament semifinals with a 54-44 upset with over the No. 2 seed, Southern University.

Southern (13-13) was led by junior forward Lechell Rush who scored 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Senior forward Jamie Floyd had 10 rebounds.

The Jaguars led 30-22 at halftime. However, in the second half, the Southern offense sputtered badly. The Jaguars shot only 12% (3-for-24) in the final 20 minutes. The Lady Braves took advantage of the Southern shooting woes and rallied to take the lead. With 8:54 left, a layup by Isis Smith gave Alcorn State a 37-35 lead. The Lady Braves Wouldn’t trail again.
