NORTH CAROLINA A&T AGGIES STORYLINES 

• The Aggies are set to play in their first-ever Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Men's Basketball Championship Tournament as they open against the Stony Brook Red Wolves, who are also playing in their first CAA tournament. 
• Out of the four new teams in the CAA – A&T, Monmouth, Stony Brook and Hampton – the Aggies finished the highest in the standings. They finished in a sixth-place tie with Delaware. The Aggies were picked to finish 11th in the CAA preseason poll. 
• A&T hopes to use the momentum from a 73-72 overtime win over Hampton last Saturday to advance in the CAA tournament. 
• The Aggies got a strong performance from their post players as Duncan Powell finished with 16 points and a career-high 15 rebounds on 7-for-11 shooting. Forward Austin Johnson also secured double-figure rebounding with eight points and 12 rebounds. 
• Seven of Johnson's rebounds came on the offensive end, and he also blocked two shots. In addition, Marcus had his ninth 20-plus-point game of the season with 20 points and five rebounds as the Aggies recorded a season-high 57 rebounds. 
• The CAA released its postseason honors this week, with sophomore guard Kam Woods earning second-team All-CAA honors. Meanwhile, Powell earned a spot on the CAA's all-rookie team.  
• Woods hopes to get back on track from when the Aggies had a 6-4 record in the CAA. Over that span, Woods averaged 20.7 points and shot 34 percent from 3-point range. But in the Aggies latest 2-6 stretch, Woods is averaging 12.0 points and shooting 30.4 percent from 3-point range.
