William & Mary's single home game ended 80-66 over Bridgewater College (VA) on 2 November 2026, while Norfolk State's last five games included two wins, one loss, a 78-71 victory over Randolph on 4 November 2026 and a 68-45 win over Regent University on 2 November 2026, but a 82-88 loss to South Carolina St on 12 March 2026.
