DOVER — North Carolina A&T had not won a men’s basketball game at Memorial Hall in eight seasons. Tonight, the Aggies needed some help from the opposition to end the streak. Steve Rush made two technical free throws with 1.2 seconds left, the result of an excessive celebration by the Hornets following a game-tying 3-pointer, to hand North Carolina A&T a 63-61 win. It was the Aggies’ first win on DSU’s home court since the 1999-2000 season.

DSU sophomore Kyle Ingram ran on the court and was called for the technical foul for being a sixth man on the floor with 0:03 seconds remaining in the game. Ingram, the game ain't over until the Fat Lady Sings. The MEAC officials Quez Crawford, Duke Edsall and Dwayne Gladden were right to make the technical foul call, regardless of the impact on the game.

Game ball should go to NCA&T Ed Jones who came off the bench to pop in 24 points, 6 rebounds to lead the Aggies in both categories in 27 minutes on the court. DSU should be asking--who was that guy?
