JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State men's basketball team will host Alcorn State on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Pete Mathews Coliseum. Admission is free for fans ages 18 and under.
The Gamecocks make their first appearance in Pete Mathews Coliseum this December by welcoming Alcorn State into town. The game will be the second in a home-and-home series that saw JSU claim a hard-fought 56-52 win in Lorman, Miss., a year ago. It will be the sixth all-time meeting between the two schools, with JSU holding a 4-1 advantage. JSU holds a 2-0 advantage over the Braves in Pete Mathews Coliseum but haven't played host to ASU since claiming a 74-41 win on Dec. 30, 2003.
In its last time out, JSU dropped a 77-53 decision at Florida State on Sunday in Tallahassee. In the loss, junior
Teraes Clemmons went 5-for-6 from the floor and 3-for-3 from the free throw line to score a career-high 14 points off of the bench. He blew past his previous career high of four points in leading the Gamecocks in scoring.
In his JSU debut after sitting out a year due to NCAA Transfer Rules, former Florida A&M guard
Avery Moore scored 10 for the Gamecocks in what was also a Homecoming game in his hometown of Tallahassee. A graduate of Rickards High School, where Moore won a state title before signing with FAMU, he went 2-for-5 from behind the arc and 4-for-4 from the free throw line in his first game in just 12 minutes in his first game in a JSU uniform.
The Braves have dropped their last four games after getting off to a 3-1 start this season. Most recently, they fell 89-58 at Houston on Monday night. LeAntwan Luckett leads the way with 12.9 points per game. Octavius Brown is pitching in 11.5 points and grabbing a team-best 6.4 rebounds per game.
The game will be broadcast live on the JSU Radio Network with
