Durham, N.C. - Head coach LeVelle Moton and his NCCU Eagles mens basketball team welcomed Johnson & Wales (NC) to McLendon-McDougald Gymnasium Tuesday night. The Eagles have been road warriors so far this season, playing one home game to date.
Dorthy said it best, "There's no place like home." NC Central put on a show in front of the home crowd. Senior guard Anthony McDonald came out on fire. The Aberdee, Miss. native drained four first half 3 pointers; fellow senior Jordan Parks (Queens, N.Y.) did his work in the paint, collecting several highlight reel dunks. NC Central's defense was also impressive in the opening half, taking a 42-19 lead into the lockeroom.
It would only get worse for the visting Tigers in the 2nd half. The combination of McDougald and Parks continued to pour it on; the duo finished with 26 and 20 points respectively. Parks also added 7 rebounds to his tally, while senior guard Dante Holmes chipped in with 15 points, and 5 assists. Ricky Porter's 12 points led Johnson & Wales (NC), who fall to (4-5) on the season after the loss.
With the win, NC Central improves to (4-3) on the season. The Eagles open up MEAC play on the road Friday, when they face the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
