MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE HAWKS MEN'S BASKETBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Located in Princess Anne, Maryland, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore fields a 15-player roster coached by Cleo Hill Jr. in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Playing home games at Hytche Center, the Hawks have posted an 8-19 overall record this season while averaging 63.7 points per game against opponents scoring 71.1 per contest. Hill Jr. leads a program founded in 1886 that competes in one of Division I's historically significant conferences for African American institutions.
Maryland Eastern Shore's home court has proven a meaningful advantage, with the Hawks posting a 5-2 record at Hytche Center compared to a struggling 3-17 mark in away contests. Conference play reflects similar disparities, as the team sits at 4-6 in MEAC competition while struggling significantly on the road. The 7.4-point scoring deficit each game underscores the offensive challenges Hill Jr.'s squad faces, particularly away from home where the team has won just three times across 20 matchups.
