Alcorn Notes - Senior forward Reginal Johnson was named the SWAC Preseason Player of the Year. He’s the only Preseason Player of the Year in the country, of all Division I conferences, to not start a game in 2016-17. Johnson led the team in scoring last year with 15.6 points per game and was named to the HBCU All-America Second-Team. - Johnson is 33 points away from 1,000 in his career. He’d be the 39th Brave to reach that milestone. - Sophomore forward Yalen Reed was tabbed the SWAC Preseason Co-Defensive Player of the Year. Reed shot .558 from the field last season and started in seven games, but will be relied on heavier this year with the departure of forwards Marquis Vance and DeAndre Davis. Reed swatted away 18 blocks on the season. - Senior guard A.J. Mosby was selected to the Preseason All-Conference Second-Team. The only Brave to start in every game last year, Mosby averaged 10.4 points per game and shot .388 from beyond-the-arc. - Alcorn was picked to finish fourth in the SWAC Preseason Poll. It brings back two starters - Mosby and senior Avery Patterson - from a team that played in the SWAC Championship game. The Braves have finished second in the regular season in backto-back years. - Head Coach Montez Robinson is in his third season and was the 2016-17 SWAC Coach of the Year winner. He’s coached Alcorn to consecutive 13-5 conference records, marking the first back-to-back winning seasons at Alcorn in 15 years. Robinson hoists a 26-10 career SWAC record. - The Braves are playing a loaded non-conference schedule including four games against 2017 NCAA Tournament teams. Alcorn will go on the road to face LSU, Creighton, Northern Iowa, Baylor, Tulane, Iowa State, Vanderbilt and Central Arkansas. - Alcorn is looking for its first non-conference win over a Division I school since Nov. 22, 2012 when it defeated Samford 69-65. Prior to that, the Braves beat Jacksonville

Alcorn Notes Continued State 70-68 on Dec. 13, 2003. The last time Alcorn topped a school from a Power Five conference was in 1990-91 over Indiana 79-77. - The Braves bring back sharp-shooter Maurice Howard after a solid freshman season. He came off the bench to shoot teambests of .391 (43-110) from three-point range and .822 (37-45) from the free throw line. - Patterson returns as an experienced guard who started in 25 games last year at the point. He scored in 17 of 18 conference games and is expected to see his production go up in 2017-18. GENERAL INFORMATION Name: Alcorn State University Location: Lorman, Miss.

- Alcorn posted 18 wins overall last season which were the most since 200102 when it won 20 games. - The Braves went on an 11-game winning-streak in conference which was the fifth longest active streak in the nation. It was also the fourth longest in program history, and the longest since 1998-99. Alcorn also held a six-game road winning-streak which was the seventh-longest in the country. The Braves were a perfect 7-0 in February. - In conference games last year, Alcorn led the league in field goal percentage (.458), field goal percentage defense (.402), three-point field goal percentage defense (.287), assists (13.7 apg) and defensive rebounds (26.6 drpg). - The Braves spent 10 days in Puerto Rico over the summer where they went undefeated in three scrimmages. In addition to basketball, the Braves also visited museums and historic sites, experienced the island as a new culture and used the international opportunity to grow as a team. College basketball teams are allowed to take a foreign trip once every four years. - Alcorn finished 11-2 at home last season where it outscored the opposition 979-807. - The Braves brought back 10 letterwinners and brought in six newcomers for 2017-18. - Alcorn has big shoes to fill after losing Vance, a two-time All-Conference First-Team selection. Not only did Vance score 1,303 career points, but he’s also in the Alcorn record book with 803 rebounds, 209 assists and 80 blocks. Vance signed a professional contract to play for Ovarense Dolce Vita in Ovar, Portugal. - Robinson inherited a squad that went 6-26, 4-14 SWAC in 2014-15 and more-than tripled the team’s win total in his first year. Robinson was a finalist for both the Ben Jobe National Coach of the Year and Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year awards in back-to-back seasons. - Robinson brought in three new assistant coaches for the 2016-17 season who all enter their second year. They included the 2004 SWAC Newcomer of the Year and All-Conference First-Team honoree Delvin Thompson who played at Alcorn, Derek Thompson who has over 10 years of collegiate coaching experience and Frank Popieski who spent three years at Florida State before helping coach numerous All-Atlantic Sun performers at Stetson. - Not only did Robinson have to restore the team on the court, but he also erased NCAA sanctions which included a postseason ban for low Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. The Braves are eligible for a postseason berth for the first time since Robinson’s arrival as he wiped away penalties that he inherited. Last season, Alcorn had four student-athletes who earned AllSWAC Academic honors. - The legendary Larry Smith became the first Alcorn basketball player to ever be inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in July, 2016. In four years at Alcorn, Smith averaged a double-double with 16.7 points and 11 rebounds per game, totaling 1,852 career points and 1,234 rebounds. As a senior, the 6-8 forward/center scored 20.1 points per outing and led NCAA Division I with 15.1 rebounds per contest. - Alcorn has three wins in the NCAA Tournament and one in the NIT. Smith led the Braves to their first-ever postseason appearance which resulted in an 80-78 victory over Mississippi State in the 1979 NIT.

MONTEZ ROBINSON
2016-17 SWAC Coach of the Year • 33-32 Overall, 26-10 SWAC (Third Season) A ferocious recruiter, Robinson inherited a squad that went 6-26 overall and 4-14 in conference play the year prior to his arrival. In just two seasons, he coached the Braves to back-to-back 13-5 campaigns in conference with a pair of secondplace finishes. It was the first time Alcorn recorded consecutive winning seasons in 15 years. As a result, Robinson was named the 2016-17 SWAC Coach of the Year. He was the first Alcorn coach to win that award since the great Davey L. Whitney in 2001-02. Robinson was also named NABC All-District CoCoach of the Year. Under Robinson’s guidance, the Braves made a run to the finals of the SWAC Championships. It came after Alcorn placed two studentathletes on the All-Conference teams for the first time since 1998-99. The Braves ended 18-14 overall and went a perfect 7-0 in February. Alcorn’s enormous turnaround garnered national attention as Robinson was a finalist for Ben Jobe National Coach of the Year awards twice after the 2016 and 2017 seasons, and the 2016 Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year honor. Though, improving Alcorn athletically was only half the battle. If the Braves were going to go any further they first had to take care of issues off the court. Robinson took over for a program that was under NCAA sanctions for low Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. The sanctions included a postseason ban. Robinson took matters into his own hands by recruiting better students first-and-foremost. His recruiting classes average a 2.97 grade point average.
Robinson’s academic resurgence paid off as the NCAA saw noticeable improvement. If all stays the same by the end of the 2016-17 school year, Alcorn will have all of its sanctions removed moving forward. Prior to Alcorn, Robinson served as assistant coach for the BethuneCookman University men’s basketball program for four seasons. In his time at B-CU, the Wildcats advanced to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Tournament quarterfinals twice – with a trip to the championship game in 2012. At B-CU, his primary duties included assisting in recruiting, scouting of opponents, as well as the day-to-day operations of the B-CU Basketball Office. He also served as the camp director for the Bethune-Cookman Men’s Basketball Fundamental Camp, Elite Camp and Team Camp for the past two years. He was also the lead coach for working directly with post players, including All-MEAC Tournament selection Anthony Breeze. Prior to his time at B-CU, Robinson spent six seasons at Kennesaw State University (KSU) in Kennesaw, Georgia. While at KSU, Robinson helped the Team to transition from Division II to the Division I level of athletics and establish the Owls as one of the fastest-growing Division I Men’s Basketball programs in the country. In just their first year of reclassification, the Owls reached the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament semifinals, and won more games than any other in NCAA history for a team in reclassification in a four-year period. They would go on to rank amongst the Top 5 in the midmajor polls. Just before his arrival at Kennesaw State University, Robinson was the Associate Head Coach for the men’s basketball program at TruettMcConnell College in Cleveland, Georgia. He worked for three years with the program. At Truett-McConnell College, he served as recruiting coordinator and distributed scholarships amongst the team members. He also exercised his academic prowess with monitoring the team’s academic progress through mandatory study hall sessions. He would go on to manage the housing for student-athletes on the men’s basketball squad, and act as operational officer, overseeing the entirety of travel for the team. Robinson earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from North Georgia College & State University. He played for two years at the school, serving as co-captain of the men’s basketball team both seasons. Prior to that, he played two seasons at Kemper Military Junior College in Missouri, earning his Associate Degree in Liberal Arts. He would go on to earn his Master of Science in Transformative Leadership from Bethune-Cookman University in 2014. Robinson is married to the former Ms. Leah Hornbuckle. The couple have a daughter, Tezlyn, and a son, Montez, Jr.

Alcorn State University
2017-18 Men’s Basketball ABOUT ALCORN STATE UNIVERSITY Alcorn is the oldest public historically black land-grant institution in the United States and the second-oldest state-supported institution of higher learning in Mississippi. Alcorn University was founded in 1871 as a result of the people of Mississippi’s efforts to educate the descendants of formerly enslaved Africans. It was named in honor of the sitting governor of Mississippi, James L. Alcorn. Alcorn is situated in Claiborne County, seven miles west of Lorman, 80 miles south of the capital city of Jackson, 45 miles south of Vicksburg, and 40 miles north of Natchez. The site was originally occupied by Oakland College, a school established by Presbyterians in 1828; the state of Mississippi purchased the Oakland campus for $40,000 and named it Alcorn University. Hiram R. Revels resigned his seat as a United States senator to become the University’s first president. The state legislature provided $50,000 cash annually for the University’s first 10 years to support its establishment and overall operation. Additionally, 30 acres of land were sold for $188,928; Alcorn received three-fifths of the proceeds, or $113,400. This funding was used for Alcorn’s agricultural and mechanical components. Initially, the institution’s three major study components were the four-year college track, the two-year college track, and the threeyear graded track. Students spent the morning, from seven o’clock until noon, in classes. In the afternoon, they worked in various University shops for eight cents per hour. Room and board, including laundry, cost about $5 a month. In 1878, Alcorn University became Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College. The college was exclusively for males at first, but eventually women were admitted. A dormitory for women was built in 1902. Over time, facilities increased from three historic buildings to more than 80 structures. The original purchase of 225 acres of land grew to a campus of more than 1,700 acres. In 1974, Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College became Alcorn State University. Governor William L. Waller signed House Bill 298, granting this status. Alcorn has thrived by continuously accomplishing dynamic goals and objectives despite limited resource allocations from the state. By the early 1990s, Alcorn’s
physical plant and academic programs evolved into a more diversified University. The student population is now representative of more than 65 counties, more than 30 states, and at least 18 foreign countries. The University provides an undergraduate education that enables students to successfully pursue work in graduate and professional schools, engage in teaching, and enter other professions. As Mississippi recognized the importance of educating all citizens, Alcorn has gained status and importance. From the original eight faculty members in 1871, the University has grown to more than 800 faculty and staff. The student body has increased from 179 students to more than 4,000 students with varied ethnic backgrounds. Although early graduates of Alcorn had limited horizons, today’s graduates are successful in their chosen professions, and many are outstanding entrepreneurs. Throughout Alcorn’s history, the leadership and faculty remained committed to enhancing the institution’s image and to attracting young people whose interest is the pursuit and receipt of a quality education. Over the decades, “the college that excelled against great odds” has become one of the leading universities in the nation. Alcorn State University operates divisions with degree programs in more than 50 areas, including the bachelor’s, master’s, and educational specialist degrees. The collaborative strength and contributions of Alcorn’s past 18 presidents during its more than 140 years of existence have enabled the institution to excel. On March 4, 2014, the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning voted unanimously to appoint Dr. Alfred Rankins Jr. as Alcorn State University’s 19th president. President Rankins' background and vision are strategically aligned with Alcorn’s history and tradition. He is poised to expeditiously move Alcorn State University to the next level of excellence.

Alcorn Notes - Senior forward Reginal Johnson was named the SWAC Preseason Player of the Year. He’s the only Preseason Player of the Year in the country, of all Division I conferences, to not start a game in 2016-17. Johnson led the team in scoring last year with 15.6 points per game and was named to the HBCU All-America Second-Team. - Johnson is 33 points away from 1,000 in his career. He’d be the 39th Brave to reach that milestone. - Sophomore forward Yalen Reed was tabbed the SWAC Preseason Co-Defensive Player of the Year. Reed shot .558 from the field last season and started in seven games, but will be relied on heavier this year with the departure of forwards Marquis Vance and DeAndre Davis. Reed swatted away 18 blocks on the season. - Senior guard A.J. Mosby was selected to the Preseason All-Conference Second-Team. The only Brave to start in every game last year, Mosby averaged 10.4 points per game and shot .388 from beyond-the-arc. - Alcorn was picked to finish fourth in the SWAC Preseason Poll. It brings back two starters - Mosby and senior Avery Patterson - from a team that played in the SWAC Championship game. The Braves have finished second in the regular season in backto-back years. - Head Coach Montez Robinson is in his third season and was the 2016-17 SWAC Coach of the Year winner. He’s coached Alcorn to consecutive 13-5 conference records, marking the first back-to-back winning seasons at Alcorn in 15 years. Robinson hoists a 26-10 career SWAC record. - The Braves are playing a loaded non-conference schedule including four games against 2017 NCAA Tournament teams. Alcorn will go on the road to face LSU, Creighton, Northern Iowa, Baylor, Tulane, Iowa State, Vanderbilt and Central Arkansas. - Alcorn is looking for its first non-conference win over a Division I school since Nov. 22, 2012 when it defeated Samford 69-65. Prior to that, the Braves beat Jacksonville

Alcorn Notes Continued State 70-68 on Dec. 13, 2003. The last time Alcorn topped a school from a Power Five conference was in 1990-91 over Indiana 79-77. - The Braves bring back sharp-shooter Maurice Howard after a solid freshman season. He came off the bench to shoot teambests of .391 (43-110) from three-point range and .822 (37-45) from the free throw line. - Patterson returns as an experienced guard who started in 25 games last year at the point. He scored in 17 of 18 conference games and is expected to see his production go up in 2017-18. GENERAL INFORMATION Name: Alcorn State University Location: Lorman, Miss.

- Alcorn posted 18 wins overall last season which were the most since 200102 when it won 20 games. - The Braves went on an 11-game winning-streak in conference which was the fifth longest active streak in the nation. It was also the fourth longest in program history, and the longest since 1998-99. Alcorn also held a six-game road winning-streak which was the seventh-longest in the country. The Braves were a perfect 7-0 in February. - In conference games last year, Alcorn led the league in field goal percentage (.458), field goal percentage defense (.402), three-point field goal percentage defense (.287), assists (13.7 apg) and defensive rebounds (26.6 drpg). - The Braves spent 10 days in Puerto Rico over the summer where they went undefeated in three scrimmages. In addition to basketball, the Braves also visited museums and historic sites, experienced the island as a new culture and used the international opportunity to grow as a team. College basketball teams are allowed to take a foreign trip once every four years. - Alcorn finished 11-2 at home last season where it outscored the opposition 979-807. - The Braves brought back 10 letterwinners and brought in six newcomers for 2017-18. - Alcorn has big shoes to fill after losing Vance, a two-time All-Conference First-Team selection. Not only did Vance score 1,303 career points, but he’s also in the Alcorn record book with 803 rebounds, 209 assists and 80 blocks. Vance signed a professional contract to play for Ovarense Dolce Vita in Ovar, Portugal. - Robinson inherited a squad that went 6-26, 4-14 SWAC in 2014-15 and more-than tripled the team’s win total in his first year. Robinson was a finalist for both the Ben Jobe National Coach of the Year and Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year awards in back-to-back seasons. - Robinson brought in three new assistant coaches for the 2016-17 season who all enter their second year. They included the 2004 SWAC Newcomer of the Year and All-Conference First-Team honoree Delvin Thompson who played at Alcorn, Derek Thompson who has over 10 years of collegiate coaching experience and Frank Popieski who spent three years at Florida State before helping coach numerous All-Atlantic Sun performers at Stetson. - Not only did Robinson have to restore the team on the court, but he also erased NCAA sanctions which included a postseason ban for low Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. The Braves are eligible for a postseason berth for the first time since Robinson’s arrival as he wiped away penalties that he inherited. Last season, Alcorn had four student-athletes who earned AllSWAC Academic honors. - The legendary Larry Smith became the first Alcorn basketball player to ever be inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in July, 2016. In four years at Alcorn, Smith averaged a double-double with 16.7 points and 11 rebounds per game, totaling 1,852 career points and 1,234 rebounds. As a senior, the 6-8 forward/center scored 20.1 points per outing and led NCAA Division I with 15.1 rebounds per contest. - Alcorn has three wins in the NCAA Tournament and one in the NIT. Smith led the Braves to their first-ever postseason appearance which resulted in an 80-78 victory over Mississippi State in the 1979 NIT.

Alcorn State University 2017-18 Men’s Basketball
MONTEZ ROBINSON
2016-17 SWAC Coach of the Year • 33-32 Overall, 26-10 SWAC (Third Season) A ferocious recruiter, Robinson inherited a squad that went 6-26 overall and 4-14 in conference play the year prior to his arrival. In just two seasons, he coached the Braves to back-to-back 13-5 campaigns in conference with a pair of secondplace finishes. It was the first time Alcorn recorded consecutive winning seasons in 15 years. As a result, Robinson was named the 2016-17 SWAC Coach of the Year. He was the first Alcorn coach to win that award since the great Davey L. Whitney in 2001-02. Robinson was also named NABC All-District CoCoach of the Year. Under Robinson’s guidance, the Braves made a run to the finals of the SWAC Championships. It came after Alcorn placed two studentathletes on the All-Conference teams for the first time since 1998-99. The Braves ended 18-14 overall and went a perfect 7-0 in February. Alcorn’s enormous turnaround garnered national attention as Robinson was a finalist for Ben Jobe National Coach of the Year awards twice after the 2016 and 2017 seasons, and the 2016 Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year honor. Though, improving Alcorn athletically was only half the battle. If the Braves were going to go any further they first had to take care of issues off the court. Robinson took over for a program that was under NCAA sanctions for low Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. The sanctions included a postseason ban. Robinson took matters into his own hands by recruiting better students first-and-foremost. His recruiting classes average a 2.97 grade point average.
Robinson’s academic resurgence paid off as the NCAA saw noticeable improvement. If all stays the same by the end of the 2016-17 school year, Alcorn will have all of its sanctions removed moving forward. Prior to Alcorn, Robinson served as assistant coach for the BethuneCookman University men’s basketball program for four seasons. In his time at B-CU, the Wildcats advanced to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Tournament quarterfinals twice – with a trip to the championship game in 2012. At B-CU, his primary duties included assisting in recruiting, scouting of opponents, as well as the day-to-day operations of the B-CU Basketball Office. He also served as the camp director for the Bethune-Cookman Men’s Basketball Fundamental Camp, Elite Camp and Team Camp for the past two years. He was also the lead coach for working directly with post players, including All-MEAC Tournament selection Anthony Breeze. Prior to his time at B-CU, Robinson spent six seasons at Kennesaw State University (KSU) in Kennesaw, Georgia. While at KSU, Robinson helped the Team to transition from Division II to the Division I level of athletics and establish the Owls as one of the fastest-growing Division I Men’s Basketball programs in the country. In just their first year of reclassification, the Owls reached the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament semifinals, and won more games than any other in NCAA history for a team in reclassification in a four-year period. They would go on to rank amongst the Top 5 in the midmajor polls. Just before his arrival at Kennesaw State University, Robinson was the Associate Head Coach for the men’s basketball program at TruettMcConnell College in Cleveland, Georgia. He worked for three years with the program. At Truett-McConnell College, he served as recruiting coordinator and distributed scholarships amongst the team members. He also exercised his academic prowess with monitoring the team’s academic progress through mandatory study hall sessions. He would go on to manage the housing for student-athletes on the men’s basketball squad, and act as operational officer, overseeing the entirety of travel for the team. Robinson earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from North Georgia College & State University. He played for two years at the school, serving as co-captain of the men’s basketball team both seasons. Prior to that, he played two seasons at Kemper Military Junior College in Missouri, earning his Associate Degree in Liberal Arts. He would go on to earn his Master of Science in Transformative Leadership from Bethune-Cookman University in 2014. Robinson is married to the former Ms. Leah Hornbuckle. The couple have a daughter, Tezlyn, and a son, Montez, Jr.

Alcorn State University
2017-18 Men’s Basketball ABOUT ALCORN STATE UNIVERSITY Alcorn is the oldest public historically black land-grant institution in the United States and the second-oldest state-supported institution of higher learning in Mississippi. Alcorn University was founded in 1871 as a result of the people of Mississippi’s efforts to educate the descendants of formerly enslaved Africans. It was named in honor of the sitting governor of Mississippi, James L. Alcorn. Alcorn is situated in Claiborne County, seven miles west of Lorman, 80 miles south of the capital city of Jackson, 45 miles south of Vicksburg, and 40 miles north of Natchez. The site was originally occupied by Oakland College, a school established by Presbyterians in 1828; the state of Mississippi purchased the Oakland campus for $40,000 and named it Alcorn University. Hiram R. Revels resigned his seat as a United States senator to become the University’s first president. The state legislature provided $50,000 cash annually for the University’s first 10 years to support its establishment and overall operation. Additionally, 30 acres of land were sold for $188,928; Alcorn received three-fifths of the proceeds, or $113,400. This funding was used for Alcorn’s agricultural and mechanical components. Initially, the institution’s three major study components were the four-year college track, the two-year college track, and the threeyear graded track. Students spent the morning, from seven o’clock until noon, in classes. In the afternoon, they worked in various University shops for eight cents per hour. Room and board, including laundry, cost about $5 a month. In 1878, Alcorn University became Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College. The college was exclusively for males at first, but eventually women were admitted. A dormitory for women was built in 1902. Over time, facilities increased from three historic buildings to more than 80 structures. The original purchase of 225 acres of land grew to a campus of more than 1,700 acres. In 1974, Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College became Alcorn State University. Governor William L. Waller signed House Bill 298, granting this status. Alcorn has thrived by continuously accomplishing dynamic goals and objectives despite limited resource allocations from the state. By the early 1990s, Alcorn’s
physical plant and academic programs evolved into a more diversified University. The student population is now representative of more than 65 counties, more than 30 states, and at least 18 foreign countries. The University provides an undergraduate education that enables students to successfully pursue work in graduate and professional schools, engage in teaching, and enter other professions. As Mississippi recognized the importance of educating all citizens, Alcorn has gained status and importance. From the original eight faculty members in 1871, the University has grown to more than 800 faculty and staff. The student body has increased from 179 students to more than 4,000 students with varied ethnic backgrounds. Although early graduates of Alcorn had limited horizons, today’s graduates are successful in their chosen professions, and many are outstanding entrepreneurs. Throughout Alcorn’s history, the leadership and faculty remained committed to enhancing the institution’s image and to attracting young people whose interest is the pursuit and receipt of a quality education. Over the decades, “the college that excelled against great odds” has become one of the leading universities in the nation. Alcorn State University operates divisions with degree programs in more than 50 areas, including the bachelor’s, master’s, and educational specialist degrees. The collaborative strength and contributions of Alcorn’s past 18 presidents during its more than 140 years of existence have enabled the institution to excel. On March 4, 2014, the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning voted unanimously to appoint Dr. Alfred Rankins Jr. as Alcorn State University’s 19th president. President Rankins' background and vision are strategically aligned with Alcorn’s history and tradition. He is poised to expeditiously move Alcorn State University to the next level of excellence.
