The Independent published their college basketball preview yesterday, only like three weeks into the season. That fact alone would be good for a quick lol, except the preview for the NC Central Eagles shouldn’t be missed.
Just about every night, Central’s McLendon-McDougal Gymnasium sits quietly as the Eagles barnstorm the country like the Division I version of the Washington Generals, the team of stooges the Harlem Globetrotters have embarrassed for decades. [...]
The Eagles may be Division I, but barely, for they’re a team without a conference to call home or many chances to win.
“[Success] may not come as quickly as everybody wants it to. But somebody has to start it. We’re the ones who are brave enough to start it,” NCCU senior guard Philip Branch said via mobile phone while traveling through the Midwest for yet another Eagles road game. “Don’t ever count the underdog out.”
Right on, Eagles.
Also, the Indy “previews” the Tar Heels (Team of Destiny), the Blue Devils (workmanlike but weak in the middle), the Wolfpack (outlook not so good), and the womens’ teams (the Heels could go all the way).
