Norfolk State, with a 9-6 record, is coming off a narrow 77-74 win over High Point, where Brian Moore Jr. scored a career-high 33 points.
The Volunteers will play their first game in eight days, the longest break in their season, following the departure of sophomore guard Cameron Carr, who intends to transfer.
