Central State

中央州大学篮球队也被称为马拉瑟斯猛狮队，是代表俄亥俄州威尔伯福斯的中央州大学参加全国大学体育协会（NCAA）第一类男子篮球比赛的球队。作为西南田纳西大学联盟（SWAC）的成员，猛狮们在赫曼·凯勒中心的主场馆进行比赛。该团队由罗伯特·斯塔克担任主教练。

中央州大学篮球队是俄亥俄州威尔伯福斯的历史最悠久的大学篮球队。他们参加了俄亥俄州大学联赛（OAC）的比赛至1918 年，并晋级八强。1919年，他们参加了全国大学体育协会（NCAA）第一届全国锦标赛。 They joined the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) in 1922 and remained in the conference for 84 years, until the NCAA placed the Central State University athletic program on probation in 2006 after the men's basketball team had committed several major infractions. They joined the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) in 2007.

由于持续的财务问题，中央州大学剥夺了 2010-11 赛季的该校男子和女子篮球队的资格。 After sitting out the 2010-11 season, Central State returned to play in the MEAC in 2011-12. The Marauders won the MEAC regular season championship in 2014 and 2015. On March 18, 2014, Central State defeated Coppin State 74–67 to win the 2014 MEAC Tournament Championship. They also made an appearance in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, where they fell to Saint Louis 83–41 in the First Four. The following season, the Marauders made their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, where they lost to Kentucky 79–56 in the First Round.

他们于 2016 年加入了西南田纳西大学联盟（SWAC）。
