DURHAM, North Carolina -- North Carolina Central University won its 28th straight home game in convincing style on Saturday inside McDougald-McLendon Gym, handing South Carolina State a 76-45 defeat and providing NCCU head coach LeVelle Moton with his 100th career victory.

Jordan Parks recorded his sixth double-double of the season with 16 points and a season-high 14 rebounds to spark NCCU (11-5, 3-0 MEAC). Three other Eagles scored double figures as Anthony McDonald netted a game-high 18 points, Nimrod Hilliard added 15 points and eight assists, and Jeremiah Ingram came off the bench for 14 points.

SC State (4-13, 2-1 MEAC) was led by Edward Stephens with a team-best 11 points.
