NC A&T (7-10, 3-3 MEAC) at Norfolk State (6-12, 3-2 MEAC)
Scouting
Norfolk State is rated worse than our last opponent, just 62 OVR, and based on the ratings, their starters look pretty bad. They are3-2 in conference play though.
PG Antoine Perry – SR- 60 OVR – Average. Average speed for a PG. Average ball handling, average defender, average shooter. 12.4 ppg, leading the team.
SG Jeremy Banks – JR – 57 OVR – A little worse than Perry in every way. 6.4 ppg.
SF Cassiano Shropshire – FR – 54 OVR – bad at everything. Too bad I don't make good use of my own SF or this would be my mismatch guy.
PF Brandon Monroe – SR – 56 OVR – 5.4 ppg/6.0 rpg. 6'7”, a pretty good rebounder, average defender. I think Coleman can do well against him. Not an offensive threat at all.
C Joseph Dorsett-Jeffreys – SR – 61 OVR – 6'11” 331 lbs, big dude. 9.4 ppg/5.9 rpg. Good from close range and a pretty good post defender. Extremely strong and a good rebounder.
More 2-3 zone to come.

| Yeah, they definitely are not very good. Hayes has 12,Coleman has 8 or 10, Alston, Ewing and Shiloh split up the rest. Backups are in.

That was fun. Unlike FAMU, this is a team that will just getworse. They do have a transfer coming in that will help, but this is an upper classmen led team. A lot of these guys are graduating with nothing ready to come up behind them.
