What to Know

Get ready for an MEAC battle as the Norfolk State Spartans and the North Carolina Central Eagles will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday at Echols Hall. Norfolk State is out to keep their nine-game home win streak alive.

It was a close one, but this past Saturday the Spartans sidestepped the South Carolina State Bulldogs for a 63-59 win.

Meanwhile, North Carolina Central came up short against the Howard Bison this past Saturday, falling 77-67.

Norfolk State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 8.5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

Norfolk State was close but no cigar in the teams' previous meeting in January as they fell 70-67 to North Carolina Central. Maybe the Spartans will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
