Braves Legend Monroe Passes: Alcorn State legend Alfredo Monroe passed away following a long battle with cancer. He was 48. Monroe lettered for the Braves from 1975-79, leading the squad to a 96-20 record over that span, including Alcorn State’s lone undefeated regular season in 1978-79, eventually losing to Indiana in the second round of the NIT. Monroe’s teams claimed two Southwestern Athletic Conference Championships, two NAIA playoff berths and the program’s first NIT berth in history. The program moved to D-I in 1977. [9/2/05]
