College Basketball Teams Most Likely to Stay Undefeated in Conference Play: NCCU Eagles



Record: 14-5 (6-0)

Biggest Hurdles Remaining: at North Carolina A&T (Feb. 7)

Chance Undefeated: 54.7 percent

It's been more than a full year since North Carolina Central lost a game in one of the worst conferences in the nation. The Eagles opened MEAC play in 2013-14 with a three-point loss at Florida A&M before winning 18 straight—most of them in blowout fashion.

Even without last year's outstanding backcourt of Jeremy Ingram and Emanuel Chapman leading the way on both offense and defense, it's been more of the same this year.

Scoring has been much more balanced, but the Eagles are winning games thanks to the evolution of senior Jordan Parks and the addition of transfers Nimrod Hilliard (Lamar) and Anthony McDonald (Mississippi Valley State).
