take center stage this week.
SWAC
Two SWAC East Division vs. West Division
games Saturday are potential match ups for the
Dec. 13 league championship game in Houston
and will pit the four conference teams ranked in
the BCSP Top Ten.
BCSP No. 2 Alcorn State (3-1, 1-0 E) hosts
No. 10 Southern (2-2, 1-0 W) in one potential
championship game match up at 5 p.m. ESPNU
will carry that game live.
BCSP No. 3 Alabama State (3-1, 2-0) looks
to knock BCSP No. 8 Texas Southern (4-0, 2-0)
from the unbeaten ranks in their match up in
Montgomery, Ala. also at 5 p.m.
The other East vs. West game in the SWAC

Alabama State Sports Photo
(also deceased), Oliver and Wilbert. The Jones Family
is widely recognized as the only family to produce six
brothers who played professional basketball, including
four who played in the NBA. All six brothers attended
Albany State.
Jones played for ASU from 1969-1973. During
that time, he tallied a total 2,237 points and almost 2,000 rebounds. The
Golden Rams garnered a four-year record of 80-31 and won the 1973
SIAC Mens Basketball Championship with the 72 Jones playing center.
During his senior season, Jones played for his brother Oliver, who had
taken over as head coach. The team fnished with a 23-6 record.
Because of his stellar play at Albany State, Jones was selected 32nd
overall in the second round of the 1973 NBA draft. For the frst three
years of his professional career, Jones played in the American Basket-
ball Association (ABA). During the 1973-74 season, he led the ABA in
blocked shots. He also played in the 1975 ABA All-Star Game.
Jones then made his move to the NBA and became a member of the
high-powered Philadelphia 76ers teams of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Playing alongside Julius Erving and a host of other stars, Jones was
known as a defensive specialist because of his rebounding, shot blocking
and pesky position defense. He was a two-time selection to the NBAs
All-Defensive Team. Jones hustle, rebounding, and defense helped him
produce a 17-year professional basketball career.
From 1982-1990, Jones played for four other teams. During his ca-
reer, he gathered 10,241 points, 10,685 rebounds and 2,297 blocks.
In 1999, Jones was in the frst class to be inducted into the Albany
State University Sports Hall of Fame.
