JACKSON, Miss. -- DeMarcus Robinson scored 14 points and Alabama State held Jackson State to just 20 points in the second half en route to a 62-42 victory in the regular season finale Saturday.
Alabama State finished its season with an 18-9 record overall, 14-5 in the Southwestern Conference, but the Hornets are banned from postseason play due to failing to meet the NCAA's Academic Progress Requirement standards.

The Hornets shot 51.1 percent from the field (23 of 45), including 8 of 18 from beyond the arc. Jamal Walters and Brandon Graham each scored 12 points and Maurice Strong pulled down 11 rebounds.
