2013–14 Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils basketball team
American college basketball season
The 2013–14 Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils basketball team represented Mississippi Valley State University during the 2013–14 NCAA Division I men's basketball season . The Delta Devils, led by second year head coach Chico Potts , were members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference . Other than one exhibition game, due to renovations at their normal home arena, the Harrison HPER Complex , they played their home games at the Leflore County Civic Center in Greenwood, Mississippi and one home game at The Pinnacle on the campus of Coahoma Community College . They finished the season 9–23, 5–13 in SWAC play to finish in ninth place. They were ineligible for postseason play due to APR penalties. However, the SWAC received a waiver to allow its teams under APR penalties to still participate in the SWAC tournament where the Delta Devils lost in the first round to Prairie View A&M.
