SSU men in transition this season‎

SSU MEN'S BASKETBALL PREVIEW

The Savannah State men's basketball program is looking ahead to the future, literally and figuratively.

The Tigers have only one player competing that isn't a sophomore or freshman. Two juniors, Rashad Hassan and Arnold Louis, who were among the team's top players a year ago, will red-shirt this season to save a year of eligibility when the school joins the Mid-eastern Athletic Conference next season.

"The operative word is transition, as an institution and a program we're trying to transition into the MEAC," said SSU sixth-year coach Horace Broadnax, whose squad opens the season Friday at home against Brewton Parker.

SAVANNAH, Ga.- Thirteen home games and a pair of four-game home-stands highlights the Savannah State women’s basketball slate for the 2010-11 season. Despite 13 home games, SSU will travel through 10 states this season (Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Virginia, Maryland, Indiana and New Jersey).

Cedric Baker, who is entering his 8th season as the Lady Tiger head coach, has SSU opening their 27-game schedule against NAIA opponent Edward Waters on November 12. After games at Florida A&M, South Carolina State and Charlotte, the Lady Tigers have home contests with North Florida (Nov. 27) and Central Florida (Nov. 30).
