Game Preview

Merely one game over .500 through 11 games, Texas A&M closed the regular season by winning 19 of its final 23 contests.

Make no mistake, coach Buzz Williams’ Aggies are on a tear entering their NCAA Tournament Midwest Region first-round game against Penn State on Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa. As winners of eight of 10, however, the Nittany Lions are pretty hot themselves.

Seventh-seeded Texas A&M (25-9) hasn’t lost consecutive games since Dec. 17-20, and is primed to regroup from Sunday’s 82-63 loss in the Southeastern Conference tournament championship game to eventual NCAA Tournament top seed Alabama.
