North Carolina A&T Aggies vs. Northeastern Huskies Prediction

I’m on Northeastern here. I just think this is a case of a coin flip matchup, and the Aggies while having the slightly better defense, don’t force turnovers, and the Huskies, if nothing else, take care of the basketball and I think they do just enough to spring the 13/12 upset here. Give me Northeastern.
