As the Texas A&M Aggies prepare to face off against the Auburn Tigers at Neville Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum.

In their last game against LSU, despite a valiant effort, the Aggies fell short with 53 points compared to LSU's 68. Their field goal percentage was low at 25 percent and three-point shots were only successful 18 percent of the time. However, they did manage to secure ten steals and showed defensive prowess with two blocks.


The game before that saw a significant improvement as they dominated Prairie View A&M with a convincing scoreline of 79-54. The team's field goal percentage increased slightly to 41 percent and points in paint surged impressively to 48. This suggests that when the Aggies focus on driving into the paint, they can be quite effective.

Against Houston Christian earlier in December, Texas A&M mirrored this performance with another strong win at 79-52. They boasted an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio of over two and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 25 points off them.


Looking ahead to their encounter with Auburn Tigers at Neville Arena, it is crucial for Texas A&M fans to watch how well their team can exploit turnovers and control the paint area as these have been key factors in past victories. Additionally, improving three-point shooting could be pivotal for securing another win on enemy territory.
