PS: Kudos to the North Carolina Central Eagles. The other school in Durham, NC, (for those of you in Estonia, Duke University is that 'other school') won their regular season conference title with their 15th straight win. The Eagles had a home win last night over Savannah State 64-57 (OT). The team was lead in scoring by Jordan Parks and Jeremy Ingram, who scored 17 points each.
