Hi everybody, and welcome to my dynasty report. In this dynasty, I'm gonna play as an 18-year-old Head Coach at North Carolina Central.

When I committed to NC Central in 2011, I already knew they had a basketball program (I know everything.) Coach Bates had been fired after an abysmal 0-27 season and the Eagles were looking for a new head coach. shockingly, they chose me, the 18-year-old freshman, to become the head coach of NCCU Basketball, and so our story begins...

2011-12 Season

I won't go much into recruiting or stats. I'm only gonna bring up some stats when somebody scores 20-something points or something crazy like that.

Note: This dynasty uses the 2013-14 NCAA teams with the exception of Massachusetts-Lowell (whom I can't implement into the Independent conference due to the lack of Division II teams allocated in the game.)

The Season Starts Now...

Nov. 14th VS. North Florida
The game started out well for us, with NC Central building a 12-3 lead in the first 5 minutes of play, and then the Ospreys came roaring back to a 27-22 lead with 5 minutes left, but the Eagles would have the last laugh in the first half, nailing a 3-point shot at the buzzer to take a 33-30 lead.

And what did they do with that momentum, you ask? THEY WASTED IT! After battling through a 24-point deficit with 10 minutes left, UNF iced the game with 15 seconds left with a 3-pointer to lead and win 69-60.

Final Score: North Carolina Central (0-1) 60, North Florida (1-0) 69

Despite the inauspicious beginning, I felt confident about my team going into non-conference play.

Freshman Point Guard Towson Riviere had 33 points for the Eagles, and also scooping up 11 rebounds.

Nov. 18th @ #3 Kentucky (1-0)

That was NOT a typo. We face THE Kentucky Wildcats at Rupp Arena. Godspeed.

While the Wildcats managed to build a 14-7 lead early in the game, NCCU showed the heart and determination of a champion by taking the lead on a last-second dunk to end the first half with a 38-36 lead. Looks like this 'softy' just got rock-solid.

the second half went down to the wire, with Kentucky taking a 70-69 lead with 6 seconds left. After a timeout, NC Central inbounded the ball and nailed a 3-point buzzer beater.


Biggest...


Upset...


EVER.


Period.

Final Score: North Carolina Central (1-1) 72, #3 Kentucky (1-1) 70

Towson Riviere again lit up the scoreboard, scoring 35 points and blocking 4 shots.

Nov. 21st VS. Kansas State (0-2)

Inspired by the Kentucky upset, NC Central pummeled the K-State Wildcats in the first half 48-20.

The massacre continued in the second half, with the Eagles winning big 88-46.

Final Score: North Carolina Central (2-1) 88, Kansas State (0-3) 46

The Next Michael Jordan? Riviere continues to light 'em up, dropping 45 on the lowly Wildcats (of Kansas State, that is.)

After the game, I bumped into a couple of girls and we really got into it. That's all I'm gonna say about it.
