Preview: Bethune-Cookman Wildcats at Alcorn State Braves LORMAN, Miss. (Interstat) — The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats, riding a seven-game winning streak, visit the Alcorn State Braves in a Southwestern Athletic Conference men’s basketball matchup on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, at the Davey Whitney Complex. Bethune-Cookman (13-11, 8-1 SWAC) has surged to the top of the conference standings with its streak, which includes a 79-69 overtime victory over Texas Southern on Monday. The Wildcats previously defeated Alcorn State 82-73 on Jan. 26 in Daytona Beach, Florida. A key contributor during the run has been guard Tyler Andrews. He scored a season-high 17 points in 36 minutes against Texas Southern. In the first meeting with Alcorn State, Andrews added 6 points in 26 minutes. Alcorn State (5-18, 3-6) looks to build momentum after snapping a three-game skid with a 74-66 road win at Mississippi Valley State on Monday. Guard Shane Lancaster led the Braves in that victory with 15 points and 5 assists. Lancaster also scored 16 points in the loss at Bethune-Cookman last month. The Braves have struggled at home this season, while the Wildcats have found consistent form on both sides of the ball during their streak. Bethune-Cookman’s offense has averaged 78.6 points per game over the last seven contests. For Alcorn State, containing Bethune-Cookman’s balanced attack, which saw Arterio Morris (14 points) and Jakobi Heady (16 points) also excel Monday, will be critical. The Braves will need another high-level performance from Lancaster and forward Nick Woodard, who had 16 points against Mississippi Valley State. The game tips off at 5:30 p.m. CST. Following this contest, Bethune-Cookman travels to face Jackson State on Monday, while Alcorn State hosts Florida A&M the same night.
