NCCU runs by Morgan State, still unbeaten in MEAC

DURHAM, North Carolina  —  N.C. Central hasn’t lost all month, getting its seventh straight win Monday night in front of a McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium crowd that is developing a palate for the sweet taste of success in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

NCCU beat Morgan State 69-61, the score indicative of a closely contested ballgame.

The Eagles (13-7, 6-0 MEAC) had a little bit more heart than the Bears, Morgan State coach Todd Bozeman said.

“It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say they wanted it more, and they worked at it,” Bozeman said.



“Clearly, we have size, we have talent. But we’ve just got to do a better job of focusing. We’ve got to do the little things. 

“You’re not going to win many ballgames if you miss 17 free throws and (have) 18 turnovers.”

About that size Bozeman referred to, Morgan State had 7-2 center Ian Chiles in its starting lineup.
NCCU’s Jay Copeland had to guard him.

“I’m only 6-7,” Copeland said.
