Game Preview

When Texas A&M and Houston played Dec. 16 at the Houston Rockets’ Toyota Center, the Aggies didn’t have second-leading scorer Tyrece Radford and played emerging guard Manny Obaseki for only nine minutes in a 70-66 loss.

And the Cougars got 21 key minutes out of forward Joseph Tugler, plus another six off the bench from Terrance Arceneaux. Both are out for the year due to injury.

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson knows these aren’t the same teams that played just over three months ago. He figures ninth-seeded Texas A&M may have an advantage in Sunday night’s rematch with his top-seeded Cougars in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at FedEx Forum
