FAMU's men's and women's basketball teams will play a 2021 basketball schedule consisting of only conference games due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference released the spring 2021 schedules for both teams yesterday morning.
The MEAC says teams will follow a divisional format for both men’s and women’s basketball. Each school will play 16 games over a nine week period, starting January 2, 2021.
Conference games will be played on Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays, the release says.
FAMU is in the conference’s southern division. Other teams in that division include Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central and South Carolina State. Teams in the south will play each other four times, while northern division teams will face each other three or four times in the regular season.
Northern division teams include Coppin State, Delaware State, Howard, Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State and Norfolk State.
