What to Know
The Texas A&M Aggies have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. A&M and the Georgia Bulldogs will face off in an SEC battle at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Stegeman Coliseum. Bragging rights belong to the Aggies for now since they’re up 5-1 across their past six matchups.
A&M ended the year with a bang, routing the Cent. Arkansas Bears 85-59 on Wednesday. A&M’s guard Quenton Jackson looked sharp as he had 31 points along with seven boards.
Meanwhile, the point spread favored UGA on Wednesday, but luck did not. Their 2021 ended with a 77-60 loss against the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs. One thing holding UGA back was the mediocre play of guard Aaron Cook, who did not have his best game: he played for 28 minutes but put up just five points on 2-for-10 shooting.
The Aggies’ victory brought them up to 11-2 while UGA’s defeat pulled them down to 5-8. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: A&M comes into the game boasting the seventh most takeaways per game in college basketball at 19.4. On the other end of the spectrum, UGA is 20th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.9 on average.
