The tournament was in Orlando with 64 HBCUs competing. For the team’s participation in the tournament, WSSU received a cash award of $3,000.

Carlton Brunson finished seventh in scoring among 40 players in the Bessie Smith Division, averaging nearly 34 points per game.
Krashaunda Chadwick, a junior exercise science major from Pollocksville, N.C. was a first- year competitor as well.
