News summary

The Norfolk State Spartans have made headlines in the MEAC Basketball Tournament, with both their men's and women's teams advancing to the championship games. The men's team secured a narrow 58-55 semifinal victory over Morgan State, thanks to Christian Ings' 19 points and Brian Moore Jr.'s key contributions in the second half. Meanwhile, the women's team dominated Coppin State with a commanding 72-33 win, driven by Kierra Wheeler's stellar performance of 22 points and nine rebounds. Both teams are aiming to build a legacy, with the women's squad striving for a third consecutive MEAC title, a feat last accomplished by Hampton from 2010-2014. Coach Larry Vickers emphasized the importance of establishing a winning culture, while the men's team seeks redemption after two disappointing seasons. The championship games present a significant opportunity for both programs to reaffirm their status in HBCU basketball.
