At first blush three things immediately standout here.

• The level of competitiveness throughout Division 1 HBCU basketball is still well behind other power or mid-major conferences.
• The MEAC is a better basketball conference than the SWAC.
• MEAC women’s basketball is better than the men’s division and all of the SWAC

that's all...

Hmmm.....another opinion.

Interesting. Talk about an inconvenient truth

Add quality coaching and a lack of depth to that:

Over the past few years, a few schools have done well in the NCAA Tournament and NIT....UAPB men, Shaw women, Hampton women, Coppin State women,  NC A&T women, Stillman men, and Benedict men, etc.

UAPB had lost in the first round against Duke.

UAPB won the play-in game vs. Winthrop 2 years ago.

The play in- game is a joke. Btw, Winthrop is a nobody...

The play-in game counts as a win, whether you like it or not.

FAMU won that play-in game a few years ago, too. I know it's not the best seeding, but it's the only game playing that day, and it does get a lot of attention!

VCU won their play in game last year.  They made it to the Final Four.

We are not talking about VCU. That had great success in the NCAA Tournament last year because they was one game away from the Championship game! UAPB didn't have success at all. You don't get embarrassed in the 1st round game and call that success!
