NORTH CAROLINA A&T AGGIES STORYLINES 

• Head coach Tarrell Robinson is in his 11th season and needs one win to become the school's all-time winningest coach. He can set the record tonight with a win over South Carolina State.
• Robinson has a 191-109 overall record and has made three NCAA tournament appearances, three postseason WNIT appearances, and won three conference tournament championships and four regular-season conference championships.
• He will break Tim Abney's record when he gets the next win. Abney went 191-172 in 13 seasons with the Aggies.
• In addition, he has a 100-27 record in Corbett Sports Center after the Aggies 89-38 win against Mid-Atlantic Christian last Tuesday at Corbett. He is the first A&T women's basketball coach to reach the milestone.
• North Carolina A&T women's basketball bounced back from their season-opening loss to Duke with back-to-back 50-plus wins against St. Andrews (102-29) and Mid-Atlantic Christian (89-38).
• The 73-point margin of victory against St. Andrews tied the school record. The Aggies also won by 73 points against Bennett during the 1990-91 season.
• In her last 11 games, Jazmin Harris is averaging 12.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks. Her six points against Mid-Atlantic Christian ended her streak of 10 consecutive games of reaching double-figures.

Quotable

"I love the opportunity to compete against old MEAC rivals. But, of course, one of our biggest is South Carolina State. We hope to get off to a better start on the road than we did our last outing against Duke."
