Grambling State the New ‘Kings of the Swac’
Coach Donte Jackson and the Grambling State Tigers are the new “Kings of the SWAC.” GSU dethroned TSU with a 75-66 victory at the 2024 SWAC Men’s Basketball Tournament Championship, ending 46 years of futility and gaining a berth to the 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
“It is amazing to accomplish something new in Grambling State history,” Coach Jackson told HBCU Legends. He continued, “Because it’s such a rich tradition of history when it comes to athletics. When you think of Grambling, and you think of all the greats that walked that campus, I mean to accomplish something somebody else hasn’t done. It’s a surreal moment.”
Montana State Advances to First Four
The Bobcats, with a 17-17 record under first-year coach Matt Logie, earned an automatic berth for the NCAA tourney after winning the Big Sky Conference championship last week in Boise, Idaho. MSU beat rival Montana 85-70 in the title game on March 13 at Idaho Central Arena.
