Norfolk State Spartans vs Florida A&M Rattlers
The Spartans go into this one with a 8% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Florida A&M Rattlers. Norfolk State will be sure to keep an eye on the current Florida A&M streak (Lost 4), and take necessary precautions. The Spartans are averaging 64.8 ppg this season (good for number 262 in the NCAA), but not as good as the Rattlers’s 66.4 ppg average in the 2010-2011 NCAA season.
Playing on the road, the Rattlers will need to play to their strengths and their 43.4 rebounds per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and good for number 28 in the whole NCAA Division 1). The Florida A&M are 5-9 this season overall (0-2 in the Mid-Eastern Conference) and today will hope to improve their 0 – 8 record away from Alfred Lawson Jr. Multipurpose Center.
Norfolk State have been dominating their opponents this season in the blocks per game departement. Their 5.1 blocks per game is the number 37 best among the 350 colleges in the NCAA D1, and that will be an area that the Florida A&M coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen Norfolk State’s 1 – 2 home record. After 13 games, the Spartans hopeful will be counting for a victory to improve their standing in the Mid-Eastern Conference.The 7,000 expected fans in the Joseph G. Echols Memorial Hall will be in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Norfolk State Spartans vs Florida A&M Rattlers online live streaming on ESPN3 or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 20:30 ET today.
