Texas A&M men’s basketball officially knows who and where they’ll face their SEC foes next spring.
On Monday afternoon, the SEC unveiled the Aggie hoops’ opponent slate for the 2024 regular season. Texas A&M’s 18-game conference schedule will feature nine games apiece at Reed Arena and on the road, as the Maroon and White go head-to-head with eight schools once and subsequently embark in a home-and-home series versus five other programs.
A&M will welcome Kentucky, Florida, and Tennessee to Reed Arena to highlight the home slate. The Aggies’ road foes include Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Missouri, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt.
Arkansas, LSU, Missouri, Ole Miss, and Tennessee will each face the Aggies twice as “mirror opponents.” Of the 2024 opponents announced, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Missouri, and Tennessee spotlight as programs that punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament last season.

The Aggies enter the coming basketball season as clear contenders for the SEC crown. Expectations are high following a highly successful season: they went 25-10 (15-3 SEC), reached the conference championship for the second consecutive year, and returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018.
Texas A&M would go on to fall to Penn State in the opening round, but no one is overlooking the brewing potential in Aggieland under the leadership of Buzz Williams. The Aggies recently clocked in at No. 19 in ESPN’s newest Way-Too-Early Top 25. With a majority returning starting lineup alongside some key transfer portal additions, A&M could be equipped for a deep postseason run.
Dates, times, and television information for the 2023-24 SEC schedule will be released later. Texas A&M’s complete non-conference schedule will be released once it is finalized.
