Texas A&M will host Prairie View A&M in the Aggies’ final non-conference game

On Saturday night, the Aggie Basketball team will host the Prairie View A&M Panthers at Reed Arena.

Texas A&M (8-4) will face its sister school, Prairie View A&M (5-7), at Reed Arena on Friday at 6 PM CST.

The non-conference schedule is coming to an end and the Aggies will have a chance to go into the new year on a two-game winning streak before SEC play starts. It’s been a mixed bag to start the season, with a lot of inconsistency on the offensive side of the ball. With Tyrece Radford missing most of the games with a breathing issue and Julius Marble yet to set foot on the court due to a “University issue,” coach Buzz Williams had the trying task of finding a clutch lineup.

Wade Taylor IV has seen an uptick in pressure as teams now key in on him early in possessions, forcing him to get rid of the ball early or forcing him into turnovers. However, he still scored over 30 points twice, and when he gets going, he is easily the best player on the court.

In the 14 matchups between the two teams, the Aggies have won every single one. Throughout the history of the series, Texas A&M never had too much trouble outside of an 83-78 Aggie win back in the 2002-2003 season. The most recent game was a 20-point win on this same day one year ago.
