HBCU Hoops Showdown Postponed: MEAC Powerhouses South Carolina State and Morgan State to Reschedule Highly Anticipated Matchu

In a disappointing turn of events for HBCU basketball fans, the highly anticipated MEAC (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) doubleheader between the South Carolina State Bulldogs and the Morgan State Bears, originally scheduled for Saturday, February 14th, has been postponed.

The South Carolina State Bulldogs, a storied HBCU program, were set to host the Morgan State Bears in a crucial MEAC matchup. Both teams have been dominant forces in the conference, making this postponement particularly disappointing for supporters of these historic institutions.

The South Carolina State Bulldogs have been a consistent powerhouse in the MEAC, having won the conference championship in 2019 and making an appearance in the NCAA tournament. Led by their dynamic backcourt duo of Themus Fulks and Antonio TJ Madlock, the Bulldogs have been a force to be reckoned with in the conference.

On the other hand, the Morgan State Bears have also been a formidable team in the MEAC, with a roster filled with talented players such as Isaiah Burke and Lagio Grantsaan.

"This postponement is a real letdown for our team and our fans. We were looking forward to this matchup against a tough Morgan State squad. We'll work with them to reschedule this game as soon as possible."

- Murray Garvin, South Carolina State Head Coach
