The Aggie men’s basketball team couldn’t stop their five-game road losing streak nor sophomore guard C.J. Reed.
He hit a runner just outside the lane over senior guard Dwane Joshua scoring the game-winning bucket in the Aggies 66-65 loss at Moore Gymnasium Monday night.
The Aggies (5-10, 1-2) have now lost six out of their last seven games.
For a moment it appeared that Joshua had sealed the deal with his 3-pointer that gave the Aggies a 65-64 lead with 28.8 seconds remaining.
But Bethunue-Cookman turned to their leading scorer in Reed, which was no surprise to A&T head coach Jerry Eaves, who managed to send the Aggies back to North Carolina winless in their Florida road.
“Cliff Reed got the ball to his best player,” said Eaves. “He made a very tough shot.”Joshua led the Aggies in scoing with 15 points while junior forward 10 points six rebounds and five blocks.
The Aggies will return to action at Corbett Sports Center against Howard Saturday at 4 p.m..
“We’re a good team, but until we become men and rebound that basketball, we’ll always come up a little short,” Eaves said.
