GREENSBORO, N.C. (Interstat) β The College of Charleston Cougars visit the North Carolina A&T Aggies on Thursday afternoon in a Colonial Athletic Association menβs basketball matchup, a quick rematch of a game from two weeks prior. The Cougars (17-10, 8-6 CAA) enter Corbett Sports Center having won four of their last five, including a 62-57 road victory at Campbell last Sunday. They previously handled the Aggies (10-14, 6-8) 78-62 in Charleston on Feb. 5. North Carolina A&T is looking to build momentum after snapping a four-game skid with a narrow 71-70 home win over Hampton last Friday. The spotlight will be on a clash of standout performers. Charleston is powered by forward Christian Reeves, who is coming off a dominant 18-point, 15-rebound, three-block effort against Campbell. In the Feb. 5 win over A&T, Reeves scored 16 points. Over his last eight games, he is averaging 17.1 points and 9.1 rebounds, showcasing consistent high-level production. The Aggies counter with guard Lewis Walker, who leads his team in scoring and logged 40 minutes in the earlier loss to Charleston, finishing with 23 points. Walker has been a volume scorer, averaging 21.4 points over his last seven contests. His 33-point outburst in a win over Towson on Jan. 24 highlights his explosive capability. For Charleston, maintaining its defensive intensity will be key after holding Campbell to 57 points. For A&T, protecting home court and finding secondary scoring behind Walker to avenge the recent loss will be the priority. The Aggies have shown resilience at home this season with conference wins over Towson and Hofstra. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. EST. The game is part of a critical late-season stretch for both teams as they position themselves for the upcoming CAA tournament.
