The Texas A&M Aggies’ first full regular season under head coach Bucky McMillan has now been fully completed, resulting in a 21-10 record and now giving the team a chance to further prove their worth regarding the NCAA Tournament when they take on the Oklahoma Sooners in Round 2 of the SEC Tournament.
The Aggies and Sooners met twice this year in conference play, with the Maroon and White emerging victorious in both contests, 83-76 in College Station in the third conference matchup and 75-71 in Norman on February 21.
Now, with Oklahoma riding a five-game winning streak since that second loss to A&M, the two teams meet in Knoxville, with both looking to strengthen their resumes for “The Big Dance” with each game.
