WSSU Rams will lose a little homecourt edge with game at Joel

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.

 
The doubleheader (women at 5:30, men at 7:30) was moved for logistical reasons — limited parking at the Gaines Center and the fact that it will be Senior Night. The coliseum has plenty of room for family and friends.
