Texas A&M Basketball’s 2024-2025 game times, channel info has been released

Texas A&M’s 2024-2025 basketball scheudle game times and network information has been released

Texas A&M’s 2024-2025 basketball season will officially begin on Monday, November 14th, as the Aggies will take on UCF inside Additional Financial Arena to open the year on the road.

Heading into his sixth season at the helm, Texas A&M head coach Buzz Williams is coming off the Aggies’ best postseason finish during his time with the program after nearly defeating No. 1-seed Houston in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Knowing that this is just the first step to achieving their lofty goals, the Aggies revamped the roster this offseason to help senior star guard Wade Taylor IV in the backcourt, adding sharpshooter CJ Welcher and dependable scorer Zurich Phelps from the transfer portal.

Senior forward Henry Coleman and star defender Andersson Garcia return for a final season in the frontcourt, while Williams landed a commitment from former Minnesota big game Pharrel Payne to fill out the depth chart. However, senior guard Manny Obaseki, one of the top-scoring options at the end of the season, is the name to watch once the Aggies hit the court.

Over the past two seasons, Williams heard the calls to increase the early season difficulty of the schedule before conference play, seen in droves last season with games against Memphis and Houston, as the Aggies will face Ohio State, Texas Tech, Oregon, and possible Creighton, while one of the toughest matchups against Purdue in a neutral site game.

To open SEC play, the Aggies will face rival Texas, which is not a surprise to the fan base, and according to the updated schedule, 25 of Texas A&M’s games will be broadcast on either ESPN, ESPN2, or SEC Network.

Here is the link to all the game times, broadcast information, and ticket information for every Texas A&M basketball game during the 2024-2025 season.

Texas A&M Basketball receives it’s final bracketology update ahead of the SEC Tournament

Ahead of the SEC Tournament this week, Texas A&M has received its final bracketology update via ESPN’s Joe Lunardi.

For Texas A&M (18-13, 9-9 SEC), it’s now or never regarding a post-season appearance that’s not the NIT. This week’s SEC Tournament provides a significant opportunity to earn a spot in the 68-team field in the NCAA Tournament with one or possibly two wins to help solidify the Aggies’ resume.

Despite A&M’s lackluster end of the February slate, losing five games in a row, the Aggies reeled off a three-game winning streak to finish the regular season, as the emergence of junior guard Manny Obaseki has been the momentum boost head coach Buzz Williams had been searching for.

On Tuesday, just two days before A&M’s rematch with Ole Miss, ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi released his final bracket update ahead of every conference tournament this week. He placed the Aggies as the top team in the “First Four Out” section while stating that if A&M were to lose to the Rebels on Thursday night, they would be out of the conversation for a tournament bid.

Sitting at 46th in the NET Rankings with five Quad 1 wins, Texas A&M’s current resume looks to be enough on its face, but defeating Ole Miss looks like a must-win while possibly winning a second game in the tournament against the Kentucky Wildcats in the Quarterfinals is much more realistic.
