HOUSTON, Texas – Jamel Waters knew he had a chance to reach a personal milestone, but his focus was on leading the Alabama State men's basketball team into the Southwestern Athletic Conference semifinals.
The junior guard from Birmingham accomplished both — scoring 20 points for the second-seeded Hornets (19-9) to eclipse the 1,000 point mark in a 93-81 SWAC Quarterfinal win over seventh-seeded Mississippi Valley State (6-26) on Wednesday afternoon at the Toyota Center.
"It's a real good accomplishment, but I just want to thank my teammates," said the humble three-year starter after the Hornets defeated MVSU for the third time this season and extended their win streak against the Delta Devils to seven games.
ASU will face third-seeded Southern or sixth-seeded Alabama A&M in the semifinals at 2:30 p.m. Friday. The Jaguars and Bulldogs will meet in the quarterfinals at 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
