Grambling beats Alabama State 66-64 for SWAC title | |
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) Ivy Smith Jr. scored 17 points and Grambling beat Alabama State 66-64 on Saturday in a regular season finale. Grambling (17-14, 13-5 Southwestern Athletic Conference) clinches its first conference title since the 1988-89 season. The Tigers are ineligible for postseason play, however, due to the program's failure to meet the NCAA's required Academic Progress Rate (APR) benchmark. Shirmane Thomas added 14 points and Devante Jackson 13. Both also grabbed six rebounds. MORE | |
