CIAA championship: THE ULTIMATE GRUDGE MATCH

This is the ultimate outcome. The Rumble in Baltimore concludes today with a storyline you couldn't write in Hollywood.


This afternoon at 4:00 PM ET, the #1 seed Fayetteville State Broncos collide with the #3 seed Bluefield State Big Blue for the CIAA Men's Championship.


The Coaching Swap Before this season began, both of these head coaches swapped schools. Now, they meet on the ultimate stage to prove who truly owns this conference.


Fayetteville State is chasing total dominance, looking to secure back-to-back titles while their women's program hunts for a third straight. But standing in their way is a dangerous Bluefield State squad. The Big Blue already knocked off the defending champion, Virginia State, and they are hunting for their very first CIAA crown.


Join the KRSB flagship crew—Orlando Hughes, Keya, and "The Baby Lion," as they call every play, every foul, and every championship moment live from the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore.
