DSU lacking experience for another MEAC title run

Few reminders of its three consecutive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championships linger around the Delaware State men's basketball team these days. So far, it hasn't been pretty for DSU. The Hornets have suffered in all areas, from defense to scoring. The Hornets (3-9) recently completed their non conference season, with the exception of one game at Winston-Salem State.

Bright, the MEAC preseason player of the year, has been among the league's top scorers at 18 points per game. But he's made just 32 of 92 3-pointers, which points to one of Jackson's concerns.

Roy Bright is the best player in the MEAC--period. He is a warrior on the court and is the go to player that can create his own shot in crunch time. I wouldn't transfer any MEAC conference banners yet, until the fat lady sings.

With the way most MEAC teams are over-matched playing the AP Top 25, it is difficult to measure how good or how bad our programs really are. The one question that was answered early on in out-of-conference play was that none of the MEAC teams will be hoisting the NCAA national championship trophy in the final basketball game of this season.

Bright is a winner and it would be a big mistake to overlook DSU Hornets in the dash for the championship.
