Preview: Alabama A&M Bulldogs at Bethune-Cookman Wildcats DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Interstat) — A key SWAC men’s basketball matchup with postseason implications is set for Saturday when the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats host the Alabama A&M Bulldogs at Moore Gymnasium. The Wildcats (14-13, 9-5 SWAC) enter with momentum, having won five of their last seven games. They defeated the Bulldogs (16-11, 9-5) decisively, 80-62, in Huntsville just three weeks ago on Feb. 2. That victory is part of a strong conference run for Bethune-Cookman, which is coming off an 82-71 home win over Alabama State on Thursday. Guard Jakobi Heady, the team’s leading scorer, poured in 26 points in that victory. Heady averaged 22.3 points over a recent three-game stretch and scored 19 in the earlier win over Alabama A&M. The Bulldogs aim to avenge that loss and solidify their conference standing. They have won three straight games since the defeat to Bethune-Cookman, including a 63-61 road victory at Florida A&M on Thursday. Guard James Graham led that charge with a season-high 27 points. Graham has been a consistent offensive force, scoring in double figures in eight of his last nine contests. The game features a contrast in recent trajectories. Alabama A&M has found its footing with a three-game winning streak after a 1-2 skid in late January. Bethune-Cookman has been inconsistent at home in conference play but boasts the head-to-head advantage from the prior meeting. With both teams tied at 9-5 in the SWAC and jockeying for seeding ahead of the conference tournament, Saturday’s rematch carries significant weight. The Wildcats will look to protect their home court and complete a regular-season sweep, while the Bulldogs seek to continue their late-season surge and even the score. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. EST.
