NORFOLK, Va. — Now that's a way to make an appearance. Norfolk State scored the first 17 points of the game and there was no looking back in a 87-58 MEAC Tournament quarterfinal win over North Carolina Central.
It was the largest margin of victory ever for the Spartans in the MEAC Tournament.
The win ensures NSU a spot in the finals, because their presumptive opponent in the semifinals, North Carolina A&T is out with a positive COVID result.
Joe Bryant Jr. had a game to remember. He had a career 30 points. He drained 7 shots from behind the arc. Norfolk State had 14 3-pointers for the game.
Devante Carter was one assist shy of a triple double.
Saturday's final tips off at 1 p.m. at Scope.
