After winning the regular season, they just won the Ohio Valley title and an auto bid to the NCAA Tournament.

As good of a coaching job as ANYONE in college hoops.

The legendary Marching "100" took the national stage today with a special performance featured during NBA coverage on NBA on Prime. 

The band performed “Victory,” the official theme for NBA on Prime, composed by three-time Grammy Award-winning artist and FAMU alumnus Common, alongside acclaimed musicians and composers Karriem Riggins and three-time Grammy Award winner James Poyser. The collaboration marks the first national NBA broadcast theme created by three Black composers. 

The Marching 100’s performance aired this afternoon during the NBA on Prime pregame show ahead of the matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Minnesota Timberwolves, bringing the unmistakable energy and tradition of HBCU marching band culture to a national sports audience.
