1979 SWAC tournament winner Rankings from AP Poll |
The 1978β79 Alcorn State Braves basketball team represented Alcorn State University during the 1978β79 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Braves, led by head coach Davey Whitney, played their home games at the Davey Whitney Complex and were members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference. They finished the season 27β0, 12β0 in SWAC, but did not receive a bid to the NCAA tournament because the SWAC was in a transition period and did not have an automatic qualifier. Instead, the Braves accepted a bid to play in the NIT where they lost in the second round to eventual NIT champion Indiana.
