What to Know

The North Carolina A&T Aggies and the Hampton Pirates are set to square off in a Colonial matchup at 2 p.m. ET Feb. 25 at Corbett Sports Center. Hampton will be strutting in after a win while the Aggies will be stumbling in from a loss.

It was close but no cigar for North Carolina A&T as they fell 73-71 to the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens on Thursday. North Carolina A&T's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of forward Duncan Powell, who had 19 points in addition to seven rebounds, and forward Marcus Watson, who had 21 points.

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Hampton beat the Monmouth Hawks 86-81 on Thursday. Hampton's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but forward Kyrese Mullen led the charge as he posted a double-double on 14 points and ten boards.

The Aggies are the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-4-1 against the spread when favored.

North Carolina A&T is now 12-18 while the Pirates sit at 8-22.
