Thu Mar 5, 2020 10:17 PM

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Jibiri Blount grabbed 12 rebounds and scored 19 points, including a go-ahead free throw with 6:04 to play, and NC Central beat North Carolina A&T 86-80 on Thursday night to win the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference regular-season championship.

Langley scored 18 points with eight rebounds and 12 assists for the Aggies (16-15, 12-3), who finished second in regular-season conference play but saw their four-game win streak end. Tyler Maye scored 19 points, Tyrone Lyons had 15, Andre Jackson had 11 and Ronald Jackson had nine points with 12 rebounds.

The Eagles leveled the season series against the Aggies with the win. NC A&T defeated NC Central 77-60 on Feb. 17.
