After winning three out of four games on its homestand, Bethune-Cookman is back on the road for two key Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference games Saturday at 2 p.m. against South Carolina State and at 5:30 p.m. Monday against Savannah State.
The Lady Wildcats (14-9 overall, 7-4 MEAC) are currently in fourth place in the conference standings, a half-game behind Norfolk State and a half-game ahead of Howard. Fourth place is kind of significant because it's the final first-round bye at the conference tournament March 11-16 in Norfolk, Va.
IF THE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT STARTED TOMORROW: BCU would play the Howard-Florida A&M winner in the conference quarterfinals Thursday, March 14.
BCU enters the weekend on a two-game winning streak, sweeping Norfolk State and Howard last weekend. The Lady Wildcats have won five of their last six.
KEEP THIS ROLLING: BCU needs one more victory to secure its fourth consecutive winning season. The last time that happened in program history was from 1985-89.
STATS AND STUFF: BCU has only been outrebounded once in its last seven games -- the North Carolina A&T loss … BCU shot 45.8 percent from the field in the Howard victory, its best shooting night in league play … BCU has scored 60 or more in its seven conference wins.
