Shaw Bears Releases 2013-2014 Basketball Schedule

RALEIGH, North Carolina  --  Shaw University today released its 2013-2014 men's basketball schedule, which features ten home dates, as well as an appearance at a tournament at Barton and a trip to Florida over the holiday break.
 
"This schedule gives us regional challenges with a trip to Indiana (PA) and a home-and-home with Charleston (WV).  Our trip to Florida will test us on a national level before starting what should be a competitive CIAA season," said Shaw men's basketball head coach Cleo Hill, Jr.
 
The Bears open the season on November 8 and 9 with an appearance at the Barton College Tournament where they will face Mount Olive on the 8th and Barton on the 9th.
 
Shaw opens its home season on November 18 with the first game of the home-and-home with Charleston.  They will travel to Charleston for a rematch on December 14.  On the 23rd, Georgia Regents (formerly Augusta State) travels to Shaw to begin a home-and-home which will be completed when the Bears travel to Augusta, GA for the second contest on December 12.
 
CIAA play begins on January 2, when the Bears host Elizabeth City State in the first game of a three-game homestand.  Shaw hosts Chowan on the 4th and Virginia State two days after that.
 
The Bears will then take to the road for four games in 16 days, including trips to Virginia Union, Bowie State,  Lincoln (PA) and Livingstone.
 
Winston-Salem State visits C.C. Spaulding on January 22 while the Bears will host cross-town rival Saint Augustine's on February 15.
 
All Shaw home games will be played at C.C. Spaulding Gymnasium.  Non-conference matchups will begin at 7:00 p.m., while CIAA contests will begin at 8:00 p.m. on weeknights and 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays.   A combined season ticket package with both football and basketball goes on sale June 15, while basketball-only season tickets will go on sale August 16.
