The Hampton Pirates and North Carolina A&T Aggies face off tonight at the 2026 HBCU Classic.
Although the Pirates crushed the Aggies 82-61 at home on January 19, my Hampton vs. North Carolina A&T predictions expect a much closer game in this neutral-site matchup.
Here are my best free college basketball picks for this CAA showdown on Friday, February 13.
Hampton vs North Carolina A&T prediction
Hampton vs North Carolina A&T best bet: North Carolina A&T +3 (-110)
The Hampton Pirates clobbered the North Carolina A&T Aggies at home last month, but tonight's game should be closer.
Hampton’s Michael Eley has been sidelined since January 24 with turf toe, while A&T’s Lewis Walker managed just five points in that previous matchup despite averaging 19.1 points per game on the season.
A&T attempted only 13 free throws in that game, but it ranks 27th nationally in free-throw rate. With Hampton sitting 351st in opponent free-throw rate, the Aggies should get significantly more calls in a neutral setting.

Hampton vs North Carolina A&T same-game parlay
Although the Aggies have the third-worst defense in the CAA, Hampton sports the lowest-rated offense and continues to play at a sluggish tempo.
The Aggies' biggest weakness is their 3-point defense, and the Pirates aren't built to take advantage since they rank just 347th in 3PT% (29.3%).
That has me leaning toward the Under, which has cashed in three straight games for A&T while going 8-4 in Hampton's last 12.
