Moton stresses defense to MEAC-leading N.C. Central
John McCann
An NBA scout at McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium last month when N.C. Central beat N.C. A&T by 40 points said the blowout kept him from adequately assessing NCCU senior shooting guard Jeremy Ingram.
On Monday, NCCU handled Florida A&M by 43.
FAMU coach Clemon Johnson said he saw plenty not only from Ingram but also from NCCU’s fine point guard and some NCCU big men who make up for their lack of scoring by doing other things well.
“They’re focused. They’re like, ‘Hey, we’re on a mission,’” Johnson said about NCCU. “To be honest with you, at the beginning of the season when people asked me who the best team in the conference is, I told them this team was. Everybody was talking about Norfolk (State). No, Norfolk can’t touch these guys. These guys are on a mission.”
It’s a straightforward to-do list for NCCU: Finish first in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Win the MEAC Tournament, which would send NCCU to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history.
