HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Alabama A&M (4-8, 2-0 SWAC) women's basketball returns home following a season-high eight game road swing as they host Alcorn State (1-9, 0-1 SWAC) on Saturday, January 8. Game time is set for 2 p.m. at Elmore Gymnasium.
A&M comes in riding a three-game win streak, the last two of which came in league play with a 58-48 victory at Arkansas-Pine Bluff (1/3) and a 65-56 decision at Mississippi Valley State (1/5). Meanwhile, the Braves have lost their last two but those are the only games they have played since December 15, falling that day by a 100-36 score at LSU and 75-49 at Jackson State (1/3) in their most recent outing.
