Texas A&M (15-13, 6-9 SEC) will travel to Athens to face Georgia (15-13, 5-10 SEC) on Saturday at 5 p.m. CT.
There is a lot that needs to happen for the Aggies to make the postseason. Currently sporting a five-game losing streak with a below .500 record overall and in league play. A&M appeared to take a step in the right direction during a last-second loss to No. 18 South Carolina, which can be argued they had a chance to win if not for a controversial call at the end of the game causing A&M to reset their offense. At this point, the Aggies have to put together a string of wins to make the postseason and possibly save Coach Buzz Williams’ job.
Georgia has issues of their own going 2-8 through the last nine games. With a virtually identical record as A&M and also currently on a losing streak they want to be the ones to come out on top. A win over Texas A&M would be an injection of some confidence into the struggling team. Saturday they will have that chance to all but eliminate the Aggies from any NCAA Tournament hopes and a step towards getting back even in SEC play.
The A&M SEC opponents are hosting Kentucky, Florida, and Tennessee at Reed Arena to highlight the home slate. The Aggies’ road foes include Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Missouri, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt.
