What to Know

The Delaware State Hornets and the North Carolina Central Eagles will face off in an MEAC clash at 1 p.m. ET Dec. 18 at Prudential Center. North Carolina Central should still be riding high after a victory, while the Hornets will be looking to regain their footing.

The contest between Delaware State and the St. Francis (N.Y.) Terriers on Saturday was not particularly close, with Delaware State falling 75-61.

Meanwhile, North Carolina Central escaped with a win on Wednesday against the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs by the margin of a single free throw, 72-71.

Delaware State ended up a good deal behind the Eagles when they played when the teams previously met two seasons ago, losing 92-75. The loss knocked Delaware State out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at North Carolina Central with a vengeful fire.
