DURHAM, N.C. – Jordan Parks recorded a career-high 33 points to top five Eagles scoring in double figures, as North Carolina Central University cruised to a 108-52 win over Barber-Scotia College on Wednesday night inside McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium.

NCCU junior guard Jeremiah Ingram matched a season-high with 15 points, sophomore guard Jamal Ferguson added 12 points and senior point guard Nimrod Hilliard contributed 10 points and six assists.
