Alcorn State's McDaniels Posts Career-High Performance in Victory Over Mississippi Valley State

Alcorn State
Posted By: Will Moss on March 04, 2026


Alcorn State University secured a victory over in-state rival Mississippi Valley State University behind a standout performance from player McDaniels, who recorded career-best numbers in the contest.

The Alcorn State Braves earned the win against the MVSU Delta Devils in what marked another chapter in the longstanding rivalry between the two Mississippi-based historically Black institutions. McDaniels emerged as the game's leading force, posting career-high statistics that propelled his team to victory.

Key Takeaway: McDaniels' career-best performance highlights Alcorn State's offensive capabilities as the Braves continue their season with momentum from the rivalry victory.

The matchup between Alcorn State and Mississippi Valley State represents one of the classic SWAC (Southwestern Athletic Conference) rivalries, with both institutions located in Mississippi and competing annually across multiple sports. These games carry special significance for players, alumni, and supporters of both universities.

Alcorn State University, located in Lorman, Mississippi, competes in NCAA Division I athletics as a member of the SWAC.



The Braves basketball program has a rich tradition of developing talented players and competing at the highest level of HBCU athletics.

McDaniels' breakout performance comes at a crucial point in the season, demonstrating the type of individual excellence that can elevate a team's competitive position within the conference. Career-high performances often serve as turning points for players, building confidence that can translate into sustained success throughout the remainder of the season.

The victory adds another win to Alcorn State's record while continuing the competitive tradition between these two Mississippi institutions. For the Braves, strong performances in conference matchups remain essential for positioning within the SWAC standings and potential postseason opportunities.

As the season progresses, both Alcorn State and Mississippi Valley State will continue their pursuit of conference success, with individual performances like McDaniels' career night playing a pivotal role in determining team outcomes and championship aspirations.
