DURHAM, North Carolina -- N.C. Central’s McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium holds 3,116 people.
It wasn’t at capacity Monday night when 2,732 watched the Eagles clinch the regular-season championship in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, but a whole bunch of folks were watching on ESPNU when a good number of those fans rushed the court after NCCU beat Savannah State 64-57 in overtime.
What a difference four years makes.
NCCU point guard Emanuel Chapman was a freshman during the 2010-11 season.
Nobody was rushing the court back then — not that anyone would have noticed.
“My first game playing in this gym had about nine or 10 people in there — counting my mom,” Chapman said.
