FAMU just knocked off Coppin State to dash all hopes of a regular seed for the MEAC. Looks like it will be the MEAC versus the SWAC in Dayton.

Who's going?
 
Did you know?

FAMU is the first team to make the NCAA tourny with a losing record

TWICE

Interesting!!

Alabama State (15-14,11-7)
Alabama A & M (13-16,9-9)

Did you know?

If the NCAA Play-In game features the SWAC Tournament winner tonight, then it will feature a rematch between MEAC's Florida A & M.

Alabama State has played Florida A & M in basketball as a home and home series every other year the last 4 or 5 seasons. Earlier this season Alabama State beat Florida A & M in Montgomery, 75-69.

Alabama A & M played Florida A & M in basketball last season, 2002-2003. Florida A & M won a close game in Tallahassee against Alabama A & M, 91-89.
 
They MIGHT not meet

Play-In Game
Texas-S.A. vs. Alabama State
The committee pairs the two lowest-rated teams in the field for a "play-in" game, scheduled for March 16 in Dayton, Ohio. As of Thursday, SLC leader Texas-San Antonio and SWAC leader Alabama State are the designated play-in participants. The winner advances to the main bracket as a No. 16 seed (with a Friday-Sunday site preferred).
 
lol. I was thinking about that the other day. The play-in game may very well turn into the basketball HERITAGE BOWL.

Toi, that is what was posted on Bracketology after Valley lost. If you go abd look at it they are showing Coppin St as the Meac winner. But there is another chance that the Swac champ could miss the play-in game if CalState-Northridge beats University of the Pacific in the Big West Final tonight. They also have a losing record.
 
It is FAMU vs Lehigh in the play-in game.......

No Heritage Bowl Baskeyball style.......
