South Carolina State decided The Joe Brawner against 14 but the Aggies' Joe Binion 13-6 The Aggies trailed the Rams the entire contest to go for one shot, but James Anderson matchup (See Winston, Page 8) until the game's final three minutes. Aggie forward Joe Binion's play has improved lately. In Sunday's win over the Rams, the 6-7 freshman canned 23 points and pulled down 10 re- bounds. Binion was supported by guard James Anderson's 17 points. Anderson's play for the Aggies this year is destin- ed to earn him first team All MEAC honors. And, if the Aggies should happen to capture the AAEAC championship, which would then enable them to participate in the NCAA tourney, Anderson may receive Player-of-the-Year honors. At this stage of the season, the two games Friday and Saturday night are the most important games for the Aggies this year. If A&T can whip Bethune- Cookman Friday, and FAMU Saturday, the Aggies can claim first place honors in the competitive standings of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Can you imagine A&T playing in the NCAA tour- nament? The tournament would be more money and prestige for this already proud university. It would be a first time appearance for an Aggie basketball team in that tournament. The 1974-75 Aggies, coached by Warren Reynolds and paced by James Sparrow and Ron Johnson played in the NationallnvitationalTournament in New York City's Madison Square Garden: The Aggies were defeated in the first round that year by Providence College.
