I learned we were becoming a member of the Patriot League, so we changed our fight song to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHDv1bSCjKc

We are ranked 10th nationally.

Nov. 13th VS. #2 Duke

Just found out Duke was on probation (Perhaps pulling an SMU?) Last year they lost in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament to (13) Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

We made the greatest entrance ever made in the history of NCAA Basketball, having the lights go out when the fight song started playing and then bursting out when it got real intense. All the Duke players were introduced to a REAL champion.

In the first half we dominated the Blue Devils, whose players were frequently getting injured in the physical game, outscoring them 46-28 by halftime.

The second half was no different for NCCU, as we continued to run up the score on Duke. We eventually won 100-51.

Final Score: #10 North Carolina Central (1-0) 100, #2 Duke (0-1) 51

The rest of the non-conference schedule saw us gain victories over the rest of our non-conference opponents and start the season 11-0.
