I wonder if this is Coach Eaves biggest regular season game at A&T with the game at SCSU tonight. With a win we might get second place which is a great honor after losing six seniors.

In my estimation, this should be Eaves biigest game due to SCSU loss earlier and the aforementioned fact about losing six seniors. SCSU has that big boy in the middle which we need to control this time...so Coleman and Shepard will have to step up! I am looking forward to this game!

No. Every game for Eaves until the end of the seaon is a big regular season game. It was that way last year with 7 seniors.

This game is more important than than the other 3 because A&T is tied for 2nd with SC State but I agree with SixtiesAggie that all 4 games are important. I will say that if A&T wins the next 3 then the Norfolk State game may not be as important.
I think A&T is guaranteed a top 5 spot if they win 2 out 4. More importantly it is key to be a number 2 or 3 seed to stay away from Morgan State
s side of the bracket. Clearly Morgan State is better than the rest of the MEAC.

Clearly Morgan State is better than the rest of the MEAC. Clearly not, Morgan has been beaten on the road and at home, and was upset in last year's tourney and the season ain't over. Though I’ve only seen Morgan once, with a career high from one of their guards against an unimpressive Aggie squad, I don’t think it matters when we play them. We can’t think “oohhh that’s Morgan”. We have to be ready to play them when we play them, if it is the first night or the last night. In fact, this team should be ready to play Morgan anywhere, anytime just for GP, not because they are Morgan but because that's who we are. |

Key words "momentum and statement". Win all the games to have momentum (all games are big) going into the tourney. Winning makes a strong statement to your opponents.

Clearly Morgan State is not better than Hampton and may not be better than Coppin State. We will see when they play on the last day of the regular season. Aggies have three conference games left while most of the other conference foes have two conference games left. I think to gurantee a second or third place, the Aggies must win 2 of the next three games. Of course to ensure A&T will not have to go to a tie-breaker, A&T may have to win all three remaining regular season games. |
