For the first time in program history, Texas A&M men’s basketball will host a top-10 matchup at Reed Arena. Fresh off a thrilling last-second win over the Oklahoma Sooners, the No. 9 Aggies now welcome the No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide, which promises to be another exciting SEC matchup.
The Aggies (13-2, 2-0) come into the matchup winners of nine in a row, and the group led by head coach Buzz Williams is slowly beginning to gain national attention for their play this season.
The Tide (13-2, 2-0) look to be the Aggies’ toughest challenge yet and head into Saturday’s primetime matchup winners of seven in a row themselves.
