Neither of these teams are good, but I’m not lying a point with a Texas Southern Tigers club that’s losing on the year by an average of 11.6 points and has serious issues scoring. The North Carolina A&T Aggies will have the best player on the floor in this game, and they’re winning thanks to their defense.
