Three years ago, Dave Whitney returned to the place where he became a
coaching legend.
Under Whitney, Alcorn State became the first predominately
black school to win games in the NCAA and NIT tournaments. The Braves
made five NCAA tournament appearences under Whitney, winning first-round games in 1980, 83' and 84.
This season, Whitney added to his legendary status by reviving
the same program that he built into a black college powerhouse.
Three seasons later, Whitney led the Braves back into the NCAA
tournament. Alcorn (23-7) won the SWAC tournament title and lost to
sixth-ranked Stanford 69-57 in the first round of the West Regional.
