- Two minutes in, and we've alreadyhad a player get flipped. This is gonna be a physical game. Coppin 4-2.

-14:00 NCCU is on fire from the three-point line so far. NCCU 45-42.

-Central just seems to want the game a little more than WSSU. Guess that's what winning just three games will do to you.

Rams vs. Eagles first-half observations

- NCCU's Charles Futrell is starting to get it going. The Eagles have managed to cut the lead to 20-16 with less than 10 minutes to go, hitting a couple of 3's to do the damage.

-WSSU needs to get the ball to Durham. He's too valuable for the Rams to go 10 minutes without seeing the ball.

-The RBC Center is a nice facility. It'd probably be alot nicer if the crowd was a little larger. I'd say the attendence is about 1/5 capacity of the arena's capacity.

- If Paul Davis can put on some weight during the off-season, he will be a problem for opposing teams. WSSU leads 29-22 with 3:40 left to play in the first half.

-Futrell finished the half-off with two crowd-pleasing slams, and the game is tied at 31 heading into the half.

Rams vs. Eagles pt. 1

-I don't know who had a tougher five minutes, me (I had to start a new blog) or the Rams and the Eagles. WSSU hit just one of its' first six free-throw attempts but still leads 18-6 with 13 minutes to go. The Eagles look flustered so far.
