Osiris Eldredge leads the Redbirds in scoring at 16.1 points a game while grabbing 5.7 rebounds per game.

"We know what we're up against in terms of the caliber of team we are playing," Morrill said.

The Redbirds, however, haven't played for 10 days, while the Aggies have played two games during that span.

"I hope they're rusty," Morrill said of the Redbirds. The Aggies are participating in their ninth straight postseason and second striaght NIT. They lost to Michigan 68-58 last year in Ann Arbor, Mich.
