WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - We interrupt the middle of football season for some basketball news.
There’s not a lot of news coming from the WSSU men’s basketball team other
than the schedule is out and it’s a good one. And when I say a good one, I mean
it’s a challenging one for coach Bobby Collins.
The Rams, 21-9 last season and the defending CIAA champions, will play an
exhibition against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. Then, the
Rams will open the regular-season against Division I UNC Greensboro at
Greensboro Coliseum on Nov. 12.
Collins had a good quote about playing their opener in Greensboro against a
Division I school that’s not N.C. A&T or N.C. Central.
“Since our rivals A&T and Central don’t want to play us we are hoping to
start a nice little rivalry with UNCG,” Collins said. “I think it’s a great way
for us to open our schedule with Duke and then UNCG because it will prepare us
for our tough competition in the CIAA.”
Last season the Rams earned the automatic berth to the Division II tournament
thanks to winning the CIAA Tournament title. With just about all of his team
back along with several talented newcomers Collins and the Rams will likely
contend again.
