WASHINGTON, D.C. — N.C. Central University smothered Howard in a 79-65 victory in front of a near-packed house of 2,500 fans Saturday at Burr Gymnasium.NCCU led 9-4 early after Karamo Jawara’s layup with 16:14 to go and from that point on the Eagles stretched the lead to double figures and never looked back, taking a 22-9 advantage through the first 11 minutes.
An Antonin Galaya 3-pointer from the right corner with 32 seconds left gave the maroon and gray their largest lead of the half at 17, 38-21, but the MEAC’s leading scorer, James Daniel, hit his only basket of the first half as time wound down, giving NCCU a 38-24 lead heading into the locker room.
The Eagles managed to add to the lead in the first half behind a hot Jeremy Ingram who scored eight quick points. The Eagles were hurt by early foul trouble to senior point guard Emanuel Chapman.
