The three-team logjam at the summit of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference will be slightly cleared on Monday night in Dover when Delaware State hosts NC Central.
NC Central got off to a 4-7 start but has reeled off seven wins in its last eight games, including a 3-1 start to conference play. The Eagles bounced back from a three-point loss at South Carolina State with a road conference win over Maryland-Eastern Shore on Saturday after a one-week break.
Delaware State is also 3-1 in MEAC action, but fell to South Carolina State 66-64 in its last game, snapping a four-game winning streak.
