GREENSBORO, North Carolina -- UNCG and N.C. A&T's men's basketball programs reached a verbal agreement to play a home-and-home in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons.The two schools are working on the contract and couldn't work out scheduling to play next season. The Spartans will travel to N.C. A&T's Corbett sports Center in the 2015-16 season, and the Aggies will play UNCG in the Coliseum in 2016-17.
“We ought to be playing that game every year," Record said. "I can’t speak for A&T, because obviously the Coliseum is our home court, but the opportunity to have a maximum of 21,000 people see our two community teams play to me is a bigger impact than playing in a smaller venue on each other's campus. But again, they value playing at home and I respect that. We’re looking forward to playing there.”
UNCG and N.C. A&T didn't play this season for the first time since the 2009-10 season. The two teams didn't play from the 2002-03 season until the 2010-11 season.
