In their last game against Houston Christian Huskies, the Aggies dominated with a decisive 79-52 victory. Their offensive rebounding was particularly impressive, grabbing 22 compared to the Huskies' seven. This dominance on the boards led to 20 second-chance points and contributed heavily to their win. Moreover, with an assist-turnover ratio of 2.14 and creating 25 points off turnovers, Texas A&M showcased efficient ball handling and capitalized on their opponents' mistakes.


However, in the preceding game against Houston Cougars – ranked fourth at that time – Texas A&M fell short by four points (66-70). Despite this loss, they managed a strong second half scoring 43 points compared to their first half's 23. Their resilience was evident as they fought back into contention after being down at halftime.


Against Memphis Tigers before that, despite being ranked twenty-first nationally then, Texas A&M narrowly lost by six points (75-81). They excelled inside with a two-point field goal percentage of over sixty percent and scored thirty-four points in paint but struggled from beyond the arc with only eighteen percent three-point shooting.


The upcoming game is set for January 28th at Reed Arena in College Station – home advantage for Texas A&M could play into their hands as they've shown solid performances there recently. Fans can catch all the action live on SEC Network channel 611 starting at 7:30 PM Central Time. With recent trends showing strength in rebounding and capitalizing on turnovers while also indicating room for improvement from three-point range, it will be interesting to see how these factors influence this crucial matchup against Ole Miss Rebels.
