DSU to enter crazy confines of Corbett

A&T's gym known for frat-like atmosphere

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Among the words used to describe Ellis F. Corbett on a bronze plaque outside the building named in his honor is fraternity leader. The plaque was made 30 years ago, but perhaps the ones responsible had the ability to know what the future held.

There is maybe no better way to describe the activities inside Corbett Sports Center, a non-descript, white brick building set in the monstrous downtown campus at North Carolina A&T, than frat-like.

Once inside the door on a game night, expect to stand shoulder to shoulder.

With the onslaught of rap music over the loudspeakers, forget about being able to hear the person next to you. But that's the charm. It awaits every opponent that enters its confines, like the Delaware State men's basketball team tonight.

The game, to broadcast on ESPNU, tips off at 7.
