Under the Radar Game of the Day – Monday, January 29th

North Carolina Central (11-8, 3-1) at Delaware State (11-9, 3-1) – 7:30 PM ET

Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to Dover, Delaware for a matchup between the NC Central Eagles and the surprising Delaware State Hornets. It wasn’t too long ago that Delaware State was our Centenary Award winner as the worst team in Division 1, but the Hornets started off conference play in the MEAC with wins in their first 3 games. Unfortunately they lost their last contest 66-64 at the buzzer against South Carolina State on the road. Martaz Robinson averages 17.3 points a game for Delaware State.

North Carolina Central opened MEAC play with a pair of home wins against conference contenders Howard and Norfolk State. They ended up splitting a pair of road contests against South Carolina State (a 71-68 loss) before rebounding with an 8-point win at Maryland-Eastern Shore. Fred Cleveland Jr. averages 15.1 points a game and 4.8 assists per game for the Eagles.
