NCAA tournament second round: N.C. A&T vs. Louisville

No. 16 N.C. A&T (20-16) vs. No. 1 Louisville (29-5)

LEXINGTON, Kentucky -- Congratulations, N.C. A&T! You’ve won the first NCAA tournament game in program history.

And, as a prize, you get the chance to play the team that hung a 44-10 run on Syracuse in the Big East tournament finale.

 A No. 16 seed has never beaten a No. 1 seed at the Big Dance, and Louisville is THE No. 1 seed this season.

But the result isn’t really the point today.

Sure, the Aggies would love to win, just like they’d have loved to have won their only other two forays against the Big East this season, a 93-39 loss to Cincinnati and a 77-66 loss to Seton Hall.

This game against the Cardinals is about going toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the nation on national television.
