# 2018–19 Alcorn State Braves basketball team

The 2018–19 Alcorn State Braves basketball team represented Alcorn State University during the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Braves, led by fourth-year head coach Montez Robinson, played their home games at the Davey Whitney Complex in Lorman, Mississippi, as members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).

## Previous season

The Braves finished the 2017–18 season, 11–21, 7–11 in SWAC play, to finish in eighth place. Due to Grambling State's ineligibility, they received the No. 7 seed in the SWAC tournament, where they lost in the quarterfinals to Prairie View A&M.
