The series will now open with a <a href=\"http:\/\/aggieswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/college\/aggies\/baseball\/2026\/03\/05\/texas-aggies-baseball-inclement-weather-oakland-baseball\/89008932007\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Friday doubleheader<\/a> on March 6, with Game 1 set for 2 p.m. CST and Game 2 at 6 p.m. The third and final matchup is scheduled for Saturday, March 7 at 11:00 a.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The updated lineup also confirmed that Chris Hacopian and Wesley Jordan remain out, though the staff is optimistic both could return for next week\u2019s midweek game against Stephen F. Austin. Their availability will be important as the Aggies prepare to travel to Norman to open SEC play against Oklahoma.

There is still plenty to refine, but the Aggies appear to be in a far stronger position than they were at this point last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">This weekend marks the first-ever meeting between the two programs. While mid\u2011major series can always present unexpected challenges, Oakland has struggled significantly against SEC opponents this season, dropping all five matchups, including three straight run\u2011rule losses to Georgia. <a href=\"\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">A&amp;M<\/a> cannot afford to coast through the weekend, and any real difficulty would raise fair concern.
