The Bethune Cookman Wildcats are off to a disappointing 6-13 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season, eighth in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, and are on a two-game losing streak. They are coming off a loss against the Jackson State Tigers (70-66) in their last outing, where Zion Harmon produced a 20-point performance, but it wasn't enough to earn them a victory. They will now take on the Alcorn State Braves, who are on an 8-10 start to the season, second in the same conference, and are on a massive five-game winning streak. They defeated the Florida A&M Rattlers (57-47) in their last outing. Dominic Brewton came off the bench and produced a 13-point performance, which was enough to seal them a win in a low-scoring encounter. The Braves will now host this game at the Davey Whitney Complex on Monday, January 23rd, where they will look to secure their sixth consecutive win.
