DURHAM, North Carolina -- A preview of coming attractions in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference ended with N.C. Central upstaging Hampton 74-61 in McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium on Tuesday.
This one didn’t count in the MEAC standings. Hampton coach Ed Joyner Jr. and NCCU coach LeVelle Moton agreed before the season to have their teams meet on the court without the game being recorded as a conference matchup. The coaches needed a game to fill out their schedules.
“We treated it as a conference game,” Moton said. “I really had concerns about this Hampton team. They were really good on video. Once they get comfortable with you, they can kill you and attack you in so many different ways.”
So the Eagles kept switching up their defenses, keeping the Pirates guessing.
