Ram Ramblings: Important stretch for WSSU coming this week

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- If Winston-Salem State goes on to have a good enough season to get into the Division II NCAA Tournament it may look back on this week as the reason why.

The Rams play three key games before Christmas starting with tonight’s game at UNC Pembroke.

The Rams will then follow that up with home games against Montreat on Wednesday and Fairmont State on Saturday. While the Gaines Center will be virtually empty for those home games because the students are gone on break, those are very important.

If the Rams don’t win the CIAA title and the automatic berth it will come down to their regional ranking. And winning these nonconference games in December will go a long way toward that goal.

Coach James Wilhelmi and the Rams are 5-2 with one of those losses coming to Pembroke at home in overtime.
