That losing streak didn’t last long.
After dropping its last two games to Alcorn State and Jackson State, Bethune-Cookman bounced back in a big way on Thursday night.
Jakobi Heady poured in 26 points to lead the Wildcats past Alabama State 82–71, keeping the team’s grip on first place in the SWAC standings.
Heady was sharp from the perimeter, connecting on 5 of 7 from three-point range and finishing 7 of 13 overall from the field. The junior guard also knocked down 7 of 10 free throws as Bethune-Cookman (14–13, 11–3 SWAC) notched its third straight victory.
WHAT A SEQUENCE.
