North Carolina Central (10-12, 5-3 MEAC) at Florida A&M (9-14, 6-2 MEAC) – 7:00 PM EST (ESPNU)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to Tallahassee, Florida where the Rattlers of Florida A&M will play host to the Eagles of North Carolina Central. FAMU has won four straight games, including a 63-39 victory that came with surprising ease against a North Carolina A&T team that was previously unbeaten in the MEAC. The only disappointment for the Rattlers was a loss at Maryland-Eastern Shore, but they are currently in sole possession of 3rd place in the league and a full game ahead of NC Central. Justin Ravenel is the only Rattler to average double figures in points (15.4 PPG).
North Carolina Central won their first three games in conference play, but have lost three out of their last five games. Two of those three games were losses against Coppin State and North Carolina A&T at home; their most recent win was on the road at Savannah State a week ago. Raasean Davis leads the Eagles with 15.3 PPG and 9.3 RPG.
