2025 Tournament PreviewAfter winning a share of the MEAC regular-season title and defeating co-leaders South Carolina State in the conference tournament, Norfolk State is headed to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in the last five years. The Spartans posted a Quad 2 win against High Point along the way and played a tough Tennessee team within 15 points on the road in December. Senior combo guard Brian Moore Jr. (18.4 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 3.1 apg) leads a trio of double-digit scorers for an offense that ranks 168th in KenPom's efficiency ranking. The Spartans struggle shooting from distance, ranking outside of the nation's top-300 at 31.3 percent. They're also a bottom-30 team in the country in defensive rebounding rate. That will make things difficult in a first-round matchup against No. 1 seed Florida in the West.
