NORFOLK, Virginia -- The road hasn't been entirely kind to Norfolk State this season, and the Spartans say they have themselves to blame.
NSU's 9-5 start, which matches its best since moving to Division I in 1997, includes a 2-4 record away from home. Improving upon it will require further navigation of a tough six-game road swing that continues at No. 22 Baylor at 8 tonight.
The ambitious Spartans visit Georgia, Princeton and MEAC foes Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman before returning home to face North Carolina Central on Jan. 17.
NSU's road resume was boosted by a thrilling 74-71 overtime win at James Madison on Dec. 22, the Spartans' last time out. Coach Robert Jones said he hopes his upstart team isn't done.
"We were able to overcome that hurdle," Jones said Monday before a team workout in Waco, Texas. "Hopefully, we can overcome a few more in this stretch, and I think we'll put ourselves in a good position."
