TV Timeout

The Aggie men return to the road, looking for some wins on Saturday. But Coppin State (2-11 in the MEAC) is never an easy team to beat.

The Eagles may not have the ballers from yesteryear, but they seem to hang around in most games. The Aggies better not take them lightly. A&T should jump right on them in the first half and make it a stress free night. In the last meeting between these two teams - a 67-62 A&T victory in Greensboro - the Aggies found themselves trailing at the half 24-32. However, I expect A&T to win this one again.

Morgan State (12-1 in the MEAC) will be waiting on Monday. ESPNU (9 PM) wants to see this. As a matter of fact, I do too! I want A&T to stop Kevin Thompson. He is not Moses Malone, but when he came to Greensboro he acted like it by getting 20 rebounds. Morgan beat us 74-65, and they walked out of the Corbett Center with 51 rebounds! To be fair, we had 33.

That was then, this is now.

I believe that we can beat Morgan if we go inside. Besides, it will be the last week of the regular season and the Aggies need to make a statement to the A&T faithful. The loss to Winston Salem had many fans wondering what’s next.

The Lady Aggies are 12-1 in the conference. They will face Coppin State (4-9 in the MEAC) on Saturday at 2pm. This should not be a tough task for the Aggies. A&T has displayed that consistency of a champion, and seems to be able to turn on the power when needed.

Now Morgan State (9-4 in the MEAC) will provide a bigger test for the Lady Aggies. A&T beat them 67-56 in snow-laden Greensboro, but now it should be a closer game.

The Lady Aggies have been looking good. I expect to see them on TV during the MEAC Championship.
