N.C. Central becomes the first Triangle Division I college basketball team to finish its season tonight, when LeVelle Moton’s men’s squad visits independent Longwood in the back end of a home-and home set.
The Eagles have won two straight in the series, prevailing 81-78 at McDougald-McLendon Gym 12 days ago.
With seven wins, Moton (pictured) has led his alma mater to its best season since 2006-07 in his first season as head coach.
NCCU has played an independent schedule this season. Next season the Eagles are set to play a MEAC regular-season slate, although they are will not be eligible for the conference tournament and post-season play until 2012. Continue reading »

N.C. Central is on a three-game winning streak in men’s basketball, all at home and against real-live Division I competition.
Tonight, the Eagles (7-20) will see if that recent home-court magic can help them pull off a big upset.
The opponent is Big South Conference leader Coastal Carolina (22-5), coached by former Clemson and Auburn mentor Cliff Ellis.
It’s the final home game for NCCU, and Joshua Worthy (pictured) will be honored on Senior Night. Continue reading »

N.C. Central has a real two-game winning streak against Division I opposition in men’s basketball, and LeVelle Moton’s Eagles will try to keep it alive tonight.
NCCU (6-20) will host independent Longwood (9-16) at 7 p.m. at McDougald-McLendon Gym.
The Eagles, who have beaten visiting Savannah State and Maryland-Eastern Shore over the past week, will try to beat Longwood for the second straight time.
The teams collected a home-court blowout victories against each other last season.

Coming off its first men’s basketball win over a Division I team this season, N.C. Central gets a taste of the conference it will be playing in next season tonight.
The Eagles (5-20) will host MEAC member Maryland-Eastern Shore (7-16) for the second straight season at McDougald-McLendon Gym.
The Hawks, 5-5 in the MEAC this season, beat the Eagles 72-58 in their only meeting last season.

McDOUGALD-McLENDON GYM/DURHAM N.C. Central tries once again to get LeVelle Moton his first win over a Division I team as head coach, and this would seem to be a good opportunity.
The opponent is Savannah State, the only other Historically Black College in the country that is playing as an independent this season. NCCU is the only Division I HBCU the Tigers are playing this season.
SSU has won three straight in the series over the last two seasons, including a 46-44 overtime win in Savannah on Jan. 20.
The game is being played at 3 p.m., the time rescheduled a couple of days ago from 7 p.m. because of concerns about nasty winter weather.
NCCU is 4-20 with all four victories over small colleges, and a win today would give the Eagles their highest win total since joining Division I as a transitional member two seasons ago. They get it, outscoring the visitors 7-2 after the final TV timeout to win 65-60.
NCCU scoring leader C.J. Wilkerson gets two fouls in the first 1:38 and plays only seven minutes in the first half. But the first half turns out to be a wash as the teams head into the locker room tied at 30-30. Savannah State is out-shooting the home team 48 percent to 37.9 at the break.
Neither team ever threatens to break the game open.
The Eagles suffer a blow with 3:59 left when Wilkerson fouls out with the score tied, but Patrick Hardy makes just one of two free throws.
Vincent Davis (pictured), Wilkerson’s replacement, gives NCCU the lead for the last time on a 3-pointer with 2:10 left. Continue reading »

Maybe the time change will give N.C. Central some good luck.
The Eagles will host their men’s basketball game with Savannah State today at 3 p.m. instead of the originally scheduled 7 p.m., to help everyone involved avoid icy roads.
NCCU is still looking for its first win over a Division I opponent under first-year coach LeVelle Moton.
The Eagles almost got it on Jan. 20 in Savannah before the Tigers escaped with a 46-44 overtime win. SSU has won three straight over NCCU over the past two seasons.

McDOUGALD-McLENDON GYM/DURHAM N.C. Central gets to begin testing whether the Wizard of Oz’ Dorothy was right about home tonight.
The Eagles (4-19) have played 17 of their 23 previous men’s basketball games on the road and lost them all, but the next five are in their own nest.
NCCU isn’t in position to get an easy victory very often, and the five-game homestand won’t provide any gift-wrapped results. But no established national powers are coming to East Durham either, so at least every time the Eagles take the court they’ll have a reasonable chance for a mark in the left column.
Tonight’s opponent is Western Illinois, which agreed to come to Durham for the front end of a two-season home-and home contract. It’s definitely an escape, but the Leathernecks shoot 64.7 percent in the second half and win 53-50.
The Eagles seem to take control early. Only 6-10 center James Granstra is doing much for the Leathernecks as NCCU goes up 18-5 on a layup from Nick Chasten (pictured) at the 12:08 mark. NCCU leads 22-13 at the break as the visitors are shooting 20.0 percent. Continue reading »

N.C. Central returns to McDougald-McLendon Gym in men’s basketball tonight looking to tap into a little home-court magic.
The unfamiliar opponent is Western Illinois of The Summit League, and the game opens a five-game homestand that will be five-sixths of the Eagles’ remaining season.
WIU is 8-13. The contest is the first of a two-season home-and-home agreement.
Eagle coach LeVelle Moton (pictured) continues to look for his first victory over a Division I opponent. The Eagles are 4-2 at home, but all four wins have been against small-college opposition. Continue reading »

RBC CENTER/RALEIGH It’s the third meeting between a couple of new Triangle “rivals,” what with N.C. Central’s move to Division I two seasons ago.
The Eagles got used to playing games at the RBC Center as members of the CIAA, and the tradition has continued with an invitation to play N.C. State each of the past two seasons. State is one of just two teams that has played NCCU for three straight seasons, the other being oddly enough Colgate.
The Wolfpack may be on a two-game losing streak against ACC competition, but will be a heavy favorite today since LeVelle Moton’s Eagles have neither won on the road nor against Division I opposition this season.
State has won each of the previous two meetings by at least 25 points. Last season it was because of a ridiculous 52-14 rebounding advantage, and the season before because the Wolfpack held the only two Eagles who could score to a combined 10 points.
There’s not going to be much of a crowd today, as the entire Triangle is locked down by about five inches of snow. It’s eventually announced at 2,217,
NCCU has lost 18 games this season and its three worst whippings have all come via ACC teams, all by at least 30 points. It doesn’t look like that’s going to happen early in today’s contest, but the Wolfpack eventually breaks away for a 77-42 win.
The Wolfpack doesn’t have things easy in the first half as the Eagles have point guard Michael Glasker walk the ball up the floor. NCCU leads by as many as seven points early on, and State’s first lead doesn’t come until Dennis Horner hits a short jumper to make it 19-18 with 6:38 left in the half.
That turns out to be the only lead change of the game. State leads 27-20 at halftime and the lead gets steadily bigger the rest of the way. The Wolfpack’s biggest advantage is the final score.
Tracy Smith (pictured) leads the winners with 23 points, going 9-for-11 from the floor. Horner adds 13 for the Wolfpack. Continue reading »

LeVelle Moton will be a head coach in a college basketball game in his Raleigh hometown for the first time this afternoon, and knows his N.C. Central team won’t be favored.
The Eagles (4-18) will take on N.C. State (13-8) in a game that is going to be played at the RBC Center despite the snow that has paralyzed much of the state.
NCCU has visited the Wolfpack each of the past two seasons - the only other team the Eagles have played each of the past three seasons is Colgate - and although the team under Henry Dickerson at the time kept things respectable but didn’t keep the games close.
The Wolfpack won 87-59 last season and 54-29 in 2008.
Both NCCU teams are on the road today, as Joli Robinson’s women’s team will be looking for a season sweep at Savannah State.
Moton, said he’s looking forward to at least getting some fan support with a nearby road game. Continue reading »
