The Breakdown:

Making the tournament and winning their first ever game in the big dance, North Carolina A&T is riding high. The Aggie attack is led by junior guard Lamont Middleton and senior forward Adrian Powell, both averaging 12.4 points per game and also adding over 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game. Cy Alexander, coach of this A&T squad, likes to keep his starters in most of the time, with only 2 players coming off the bench averaging more than 10 minutes per game. With apparent lack of depth, NC A&T will rely heavily on their starters to get the job done.
