NORFOLK, Va., Feb. 20, 2020--As conference play heads down the homestretch, there was some more shake-ups at the top of the standings this past weekend that have the potential to make for an exciting race heading into the tournament.
 
SATURDAY’S GAMES
After beating Morgan State and Coppin State to reclaim the top spot in the conference, Norfolk State will head down to Florida as the Spartans look to extend their three-game winning streak against Florida A&M.
 
After seeing its six-game winning streak snapped in a loss to archrival North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central slipped to third place and will look to rebound; the Eagles will welcome Maryland Eastern Shore to Durham, N.C. The Eagles own the best home record in the conference, going 8-0 in McDougald-McLendon Arena.
 
Coming off a big win over rival North Carolina Central, second-place North Carolina A&T State will host Howard.
 
The Rattlers, meanwhile, will look to remain undefeated at Al Lawson Center this season – where they are 6-0 this season. Delaware State will visit Coppin State and Bethune-Cookman will play host to South Carolina State.

AROUND THE MEAC
North Carolina A&T State has won 23 straight home games at Corbett Sports Center.
 
North Carolina A&T’s Kameron Langley had his second career triple-double, including a career-high 13 assists, against North Carolina Central. He is the only Div.
