S.C. State basketball schedule announced

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina - “We worked our tails off to make sure that what happened last year never happens again.” — South Carolina State men’s basketball coach Tim Carter

Bulldog fans going through tough times right now with the struggles of the football team can only hope it’s not the case starting in November when their attention turns to basketball.

Needless to say, the rallying cry for this year’s team should be “Can only go up.” Last season represented a historic nadir not only for the S.C. State men’s basketball program but head coach Carter as well.

Here’s an unpleasant recap of what was the school’s worst men’s basketball season ever:

• 0-16 in Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference play (first time in school history and fifth time a MEAC team has gone winless)
• Worst record in school history (5-26)
• Only three Division I victories (second-lowest number in nation)
• Second-lowest RPI rating among 344 NCAA Division I teams (.3397), just .0069 ahead of last-place Binghamton
• School-record 16-game losing streak and active eight-game losing streak.
