Howard Bison Doubleheader vs. Florida A&M to be Webcast Live

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Florida A&M University-Howard University women's and men's doubleheader will be webcast live this coming Saturday. The women's game tips off at 2 pm and the men's will get underway at approximately 4:10 pm.

Both games have also been designated as the annual Play 4Kay match. The Howard University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has partnered with the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) to host the Play 4Kay Initiative in an effort to increase breast cancer awareness.

Both games figure to be exciting and very competitive. Florida A&M women's team (17-5, 10-0 MEAC) enters the game undefeated in league play and riding a 14-game win streak while the Lady Bison (17-7, 9-2 MEAC) have a four-game win streak and are looking to improve their seeding for the upcoming MEAC Tournament.

The men's game should be equally exciting as the Bison are coming off a big 54-46 road win over Morgan State on Monday. Howard and FAMU, which has won two in a row, are jockeying for improved seeding for the Tournament, March 5-10 in Winston-Salem, NC.

Lou Holder and Jamilah Corbitt will team to provide the action and analysis for the women's game while Holder and Charles Walton will do the men's.
