Dominique Sutton had 21 points for North Carolina Central (14-13), while Emanuel Chapman and Jeremy Ingram each had 10. The Eagles lost their third straight in this series.

The game was originally scheduled for Dec. 7, but when the conference schedule-makers gave Indiana two byes in less than two weeks, the Hoosiers rescheduled the game for late February.
