WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- No. 14 Winston-Salem State has been nearly unbeatable at the Gaines Center since rejoining the CIAA three seasons ago.
The Rams enjoy a tremendous advantage because of the students, the band and crowds 2,000 strong packed in. That homecourt advantage won’t be the same Wednesday when WSSU plays Johnson C. Smith at spacious Joel Coliseum.
