NCCU'S Second-Half Rally Falls Short Against Bethune Cookman
DURHAM, N.C. - Down by two points with 19 seconds left in the contest, North Carolina Central University got the ball in the hands of senior guard C.J. Wilkerson, the Eagles’ clutch performer who has averaged 32 points in his last three outings. Driving towards the basket in front of the NCCU bench, the physical defensive pressure by Bethune-Cookman University forced Wilkerson to lose his handle on the ball and the visiting Wildcats collected the turnover to secure a 67-64 victory inside McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium on Monday night.
Wilkerson finished with 21 points, 18 of which he tallied after intermission. NCCU junior sharpshooter Landon Clement connected on five of his 10 three-point attempts to finish with a team-best 23 points, but no other Eagle reached double figures in the scoring column. Junior Nick Chasten was the closest with eight points and six rebounds.
