WINSTON SALEM, North Carolina - There will be new blood at this week's Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference basketball tournaments. Forward Nick Chasten of N.C. Central can hardly wait."The transition time was tough," Chasten said of the four-year move from Division II to Division I, when Central had no conference affiliation and no chance for postseason play. "But now I'm just very excited for the opportunity our university has and for us to compete for something. Everybody is looking forward to it."
In past MEAC tournaments, the Eagles played in what was called "a bonus game," but that was nothing more than an exhibition. Savannah State, the top seed in the men's bracket, is also new to the tournament and played N.C. Central in last season's bonus game.
The MEAC women's tournament will start today at Joel Coliseum with a five-game schedule, including N.C. Central against Coppin State at 4 p.m.
