What to Know
The North Carolina A&T Aggies and the William & Mary Tribe are set to clash at 2:00 p.m. ET on Friday at Entertainment & Sports Arena in a Coastal Athletic postseason contest. North Carolina A&T has now lost nine straight, and the team is hunting for their first win since February 1.
While it was all tied up 33-33 at halftime, North Carolina A&T was not quite Campbell's equal in the second half on Saturday. The Aggies fell just short of the Fighting Camels by a score of 64-62.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Camian Shell, who scored 22 points along with six assists. The team also got some help courtesy of Jalal McKie, who scored 21 points along with eight rebounds.
Meanwhile, William & Mary came into Saturday's game having lost nine straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They walked away with an 85-73 victory over the Pirates on Saturday. Winning is a bit easier when you drain nine more threes than your opponent, as William & Mary did.
Among those leading the charge was Chase Lowe, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and 13 rebounds. Gabe Dorsey was another key contributor, scoring 19 points along with two steals.
The Aggies dropped their record down to 7-24 with that defeat, which was their seventh straight on the road. That rough patch could be blamed on the team's lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 60.4 points per game. As for the Tribe, their win ended a seven-game drought at home and bumped them up to 9-22.
Going forward, North Carolina A&T is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by five points. This contest will be their tenth straight as the underdogs (so far over this stretch they are 3-5-1 against the spread).
North Carolina A&T beat William & Mary 76-69 when the teams last played back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for North Carolina A&T since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
