by Phil Kasiecki

The Southwestern Athletic Conference doesn’t get much national publicity, but it seems poised for a very competitive campaign that should be well worth watching. There is hardly a prohibitive favorite, and several teams in the middle could be dark horses to contend for the title. There [...]

Alabama A&M cruises to NCAA Tournament

Two games separated first-place Alabama A&M and sixth-place Southern when the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament began on Friday, so it shouldn’t have come as a surprise that four of the seven games this weekend were decided by eight points or less. The three [...]

Southwestern Athletic Conference Notebook
by Joaquin Mesa

I began the season by taking pot-shots at the SWAC Conference, and I feel horrible about it. I have nothing against the conference other then its lack of creativity when choosing mascots for its teams. In fact, I’ve been proven wrong by the recent success of Mississippi [...]

Since moving from California and the luxury of watching Pac-10 basketball, I’ve gotten a chance to enjoy the Big Green at Dartmouth. Though they are not part of the Southwestern Athletic Conference, I mention it because I’ve played pick-up ball with the women’s team here on campus. [...]

It’s funny how things change

One week ago the bottom feeders of the conference were in battle to stay afloat, while the kings of the hill were basking in the glory of cruising into the SWAC tourney. This week the underdogs have stepped to the forefront and pulled [...]

It was put up or shut up time in the SWAC conference this week as there were big games that would determine who would be a step closer to entering the conference tournament, or who will be one step away from watching the whole thing unfold in the comfort of [...]

Will this season really be that “SWAC”tacular?

Will defending Southwestern Athletic Conference champs Alcorn State University Braves get scalped in the tourney this year? Or will Alabama State get mad enough in March? Will A&M need new dogs to [...]

Back in the SWAC
by Nik Bannister

At a certain arena in Birmingham, Alabama, by the name of Fair Park, and on an
unseasonably warm day on the second Saturday of the third month of the year
2002, the Southwestern Athletic Conference welcomed both pomp and
circumstance.

The “pomp” of course, was the triumph of the Alcorn State Braves, coached [...]

by David Mosse

The non-conference season has been unkind to the SWAC. With two teams
still winless, two others with one win, and no team above the .500 mark, it
