ORLANDO, Fla. -- Due to circumstances beyond our control, Barber-Scotia College Men's Basketball Team has forfeited its opening-round game on Friday, December 5, 2025.

As a result, Florida A&M will advance to the men's championship at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 6. In place of Round 1, FAMU will hold a 45-minute team scrimmage starting at 5 p.m. Fans are encouraged to attend.

The HBCU Hoops Invitational celebrates the talent of HBCU student athletes and honors our partnerships with four Florida host schools and four guest institutions. Our mission goes beyond basketball—supporting scholarships, career development, and opportunities that shape future leaders.

We appreciate your understanding during this time.
