NCCU Eagles bring talent, swagger to MEAC play

DURHAM, North Carolina — Back in the nest after a month on the road all the way to Eugene, Ore., the N.C. Central Eagles face Florida A&M today with another taste of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s strength.

The Eagles, in their first season since rejoining the MEAC, opened their conference schedule with a 65-46 home win over rival N.C. A&T on Dec. 3.

NCCU has come up short against stronger, more established Division I programs including Wake Forest, N.C. State, East Carolina and Wagner. The Eagles didn’t embarrass themselves in those losses, and coaches and players from those squads form a chorus about how formidable NCCU is with the additions of players who transferred from major programs.
