&uot;When Marcus realizes the skills he has and that arsenal that he has – and he can control that arsenal – he can be a great basketball player,&uot; said Alcorn coach Davey Whitney. &uot;He is the kind of player who can dominate a game. But he has got to settle down and grow into that.&uot;

Alcorn State (12-9, 9-3 Southwestern Athletic Conference) trailed 33-31 at the half, but shot 46 percent in the second half to capture the victory.

The Braves used their strength inside to outrebound and outscore Valley.
