Coahoma is Mississippi’s Only Undefeated HBCU in Men’s & Women’s Basketball

Coahoma Community College has opened up their basketball season with a bang. The Tigers are putting down their foot and demanding attention, as they are the only undefeated HBCU in Mississippi for both men’s and women’s basketball. The men’s team boasts a 4-0 record, while the women’s team has started strong at 3-0. No other HBCU basketball teams, men’s or women’s, have begun their seasons without a loss, making Coahoma the standout program this season.
