NCCU eyes regular-season MEAC title, hosts S.C. State

DURHAM, North Carolina  -- An N.C. Central win against S.C. State would allow the Eagles to clinch at least a share of the regular-season championship in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

The Eagles (22-5, 12-1 MEAC) have been rolling, 14 wins in row. And they’ve been outstanding at home, winning 21 straight at McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium — 12-0 there this year.

NCCU will look to protect its nest on senior day today. The S.C. State Bulldogs will come barking and hope to have the bite to back it up (4 p.m., NCCUEaglePride.com).

Today and Monday — when NCCU hosts Savannah State — will be the last times Eagle seniors Jeremy Ingram and Emanuel Chapman will perform at home.
