Howard's resume this season reflects a squad that's been through its share of tribulations. The notable near-miss against Georgia Tech and a competitive bout with Cincinnati suggest that these Bison can hang with stronger teams, however, these performances have been sporadic. While they've secured wins against some of the lower-tier teams like Hampton and Coppin State, losses to similarly placed teams, such as their split with South Carolina State and the defeat at the hands of Jackson State, underscore the inconsistency that’s plagued their season. Defensively, they've struggled, which is evident from high-scoring games that ended unfavorably, like their tussle against James Madison. To make noise in March, Howard will need to not only rely on their ability to put up points but also shore up on the defensive end, and their best chance to dance is to win their conference tournament outright.
