WSSU Rams' schedule opens with 5 game at home

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -- Winston-Salem State’s basketball schedule will test Coach James Wilhelmi’s team early and often.

“We have such a new group of players we felt it was in our best interests to load up on home games early,” Wilhelmi said. “And we were able to get five straight home games, and I think that’s going to help us.”

The Rams will open Nov. 13 against Concord and then play the next night against Charleston at the Gaines Center. On Nov. 17, the Rams will take on UNC Pembroke before playing host to Elizabeth City State on Nov. 21. The fifth home game to open the season will be Nov. 24 against Morris College.

“Our track record is pretty good at the Gaines Center, and this is a good way to get those guys acclimated early,” said Wilhelmi, who will begin his second season as head coach.
