Off the bench, key contributors include Langston Reynolds, Bobby Durkin, and B.J. Omot, who is currently nursing a shin injury. His status for Saturday’s game remains uncertain, potentially giving true freshman Kai Shinholster and redshirt freshman Grayson Grove more playing time.

Alcorn State has faced challenges recently, losing to Florida State 108-76 and South Alabama 76-70 earlier this week. Their upcoming matchup against Minnesota presents an opportunity to turn their fortunes around.
