First-place ASU set for rematch with rival Alabama A&M

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- There won't be too much love in the Acadome on Saturday.

Alabama State will look to maintain its lead in the SWAC as they host rival Alabama A&M at 5 p.m.

With the second half of the season upon them, Hornets men's basketball coach Lewis Jackson said his team has to continue to be hungry.

"Overall, we've played pretty good basketball," Jackson said. "It's because the guys are buying in to what we want to do. Our biggest thing now is respect every opponent, because they've all seen us once before."

The Hornets (14-6, 10-1 SWAC) are coming off a 65-57 win over Mississippi Valley State, their third in a row. ASU shot 46.2 percent in the second half to pull away.
