Louisville dominated North Carolina A&T, showing why they were the top overall seed and why the Aggies needed a First Four win to make it to the field of 64.
The North Carolina A&T Aggies advance to the second round to face Louisville after withstanding a Liberty charge in Dayton. And of course, there was a missed shot at the buzzer.
The full-court press did it for North Carolina A&T as they took down Liberty in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
The tournament tips off tonight and Dayton. What can you expect from the first round match up between Liberty and North Carolina A&T.
North Carolina A&T didn't exactly go from worst to first in the MEAC Tournament, but it was pretty close. The Aggies will be dancing after just an 8-8 conference record during the regular season.
In a wire-to-wire close game in which neither team led by more than seven, North Carolina A&T held on to win its first MEAC tournament since 1995.
The MEAC Tournament turned upside down as each of the top four seeds lost in the quarterfinals. That leaves Morgan State and North Carolina A&T a surprise opportunity for an NCAA Tournament bid.
The Eagles and Aggies kept it close for the majority of the night in Statesboro, but the home team came up short.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders hope to get off their three game losing streak and look for a win against North Carolina A&T.
