Kentucky State vs. Central State on HBCU GO TV
SIAC rivalry coverage continues on Saturday, January 17, with Kentucky State University traveling to Central State University for a men’s and women’s doubleheader. Airing live on Allen Media Group’s HBCU GO, the free-streaming digital platform and premier destination for HBCU sports and culture, the Week 3 contest holds conference significance as both teams work to improve their SIAC standing.
On the women’s side, Kentucky State enters with an advantage in shooting efficiency and rebounding, generating additional possessions through the glass. Central State looks to counter with controlled offensive execution and disciplined shot selection. Defensive stops, transition control, and limiting second-chance opportunities are expected to influence the outcome.
Immediately following the women’s game starting at 1 p.m. ET, tune in to the HBCU GO Sports Crossover Show, hosted by Nicole Hutchison and Tolly Carr. This week’s show features HBCU basketball insider Tim Scarborough, delivering analysis, highlights, and insight from around the HBCU basketball landscape.
The men’s matchup centers on defensive execution and shot efficiency. Central State holds opponents to fewer points and converts at a higher rate from the field and three-point range. Kentucky State will look to match that efficiency through execution and late-game scoring, with shot selection likely playing a key role.
Central State’s women are looking to reverse last season’s results after being swept by Kentucky State. At the same time, the Kentucky State men aim to respond after last year’s sweep by the Marauders ended a seven-game winning streak in the series.
With rivalry history, conference momentum, and postseason positioning all in play, Saturday’s SIAC doubleheader on HBCU GO promises high-stakes basketball and must-see HBCU competition from tip-off to final buzzer.
