Hampton vs North Carolina A&T Prediction
North Carolina A&T comes into this matchup looking for their first conference win of the season, but they have been awful over their last 14 games. The Aggies will have the home-court advantage, but they are shooting 41% from the field and they are allowing nearly 80 points per game on defense. North Carolina A&T has allowed 81+ points in two of their last three games, but they have kept their last five games decently close. Hampton hasn’t been much better over the last few weeks and they are also shooting around 41% from the field. I really don’t like either offense in this matchup, but I am going to side with North Carolina A&T at home.
