Today’s doubleheader on HBCU GO will switch from the CIAA to the SWAC as Bethune-Cookman University battles Alabama State University in Montgomery, Alabama.  The game will tipoff from Dunn-Oliver Acadome at 12:00 p.m CT/ 1:00 p.m. ET.

Due to weather conditions, the originally scheduled Livingstone College vs. Winston-Salem State University matchup has been postponed and will not be televised.

For the second consecutive week, the SWAC takes center stage on HBCU GO Hoops Saturday. On the women’s side, Alabama State enters riding a three-game winning streak, while Bethune-Cookman looks to regain footing in conference play.

Alabama State | Clearia Peterson (Hornets F/C) holds her ground in the paint, boxing out and owning the boards with strength and focus. Tyler Byrd (Hornets Guard) stays locked in, low and explosive as he attacks the defense off the dribble.

Immediately following the women’s game, fans can tune in to the HBCU GO Sports Crossover Show, hosted by Jasmine McKoy and Tolly Carr. This week’s episode features HBCU basketball insider Thai Floyd, delivering analysis, highlights, and perspective from across the HBCU basketball landscape.

The men’s matchup at 3:30 p.m. ET features No. 1-ranked Bethune-Cookman aiming to extend its hold atop the SWAC standings, with Alabama State seeking a home-court win to tighten the race and build late-season momentum.
