There’s no looking back for NCCU

DURHAM, North Carolina -- Each season is getting harder and harder for N.C. Central coach LeVelle Moton to fill out a non-conference schedule.
The phone rang off the hook when the men’s basketball program first reclassified to Division I status and mostly lived on the road for five years. But now that Moton has built a winning program, the silence is deafening.
“We just finished our schedule a couple of days ago,” Moton said recently during a MEAC teleconference. “The toughest thing for us is getting games. When we transitioned to Division I, the phone wouldn’t stop ringing.”
But Moton happily will take the snub if it means the Eagles can keep building on their success.
And now that Eagle Nation has tasted that success, Moton says there’s no turning back.
