ABOUT TEXAS A&M
• Texas A&M, like Tennessee, is coming off a loss in the 2020 Big 12/SEC Challenge. The Aggies fell to Oklahoma State, 73-62, at home Saturday afternoon. The loss dropped A&M to 9-9 overall in 2019-20.
• In SEC play, A&M has had an up-and-down beginning to league action. Victories over Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and Missouri were bright spots, while back-to-back home losses against LSU and South Carolina see the Aggies owning a 3-3 SEC record heading into the latter stages of the season.
• Texas A&M is led by first-year head coach Buzz Williams. Williams comes to College Station after leading Virginia Tech to three consecutive NCAA Tournament berths and its first Sweet Sixteen appearance since the field expanded to its current format.
• So far this season, the Aggies have been led by senior forward Josh Nebo. Nebo currently leads the Aggies in scoring (12.5 ppg) and rebounding (7.1 rpg), while his team-leading 2.5 blocks per game ranks second in the SEC, just 0.2 blocks behind Tennessee forward
Yves Pons.
• Junior guard Savion Flagg has also been one of A&M's top producers, averaging 10.7 ppg, which ranks second on the team, while dishing off a team-leading 2.5 assists per game. Flagg, like Nebo, has also been effective on the defensive end, averaging 1.1 steals per contest, the team's second-best mark.
• Texas A&M's mascot, Reveille got its name after the original Reveille was picked up by members of the 1931 A&M band. The dog began barking to the sound of a trumpet call known in the military as a Reveille, hence the dog's given name.
