DURHAM, North Carolina — N.C. Central snatched control of its postseason destiny with a razor-thin comeback win against Morgan State in front of a McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium crowd that gave the Bears an earful.The 53-52 victory put the Eagles in first-place in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. That potentially bodes well for seeding purposes in the MEAC Tournament, from which the winner gets the league’s lone berth into the NCAA Tournament.
Morgan State led by 13 points early in the second half.
Then NCCU started chopping wood.
“We came in here and got punched in the mouth early,” NCCU coach LeVelle Moton said. “We got punched in the mouth, again. Sometimes to win a championship you’ve got to prove that you can take a punch.”
