Texas A&M Aggies

Auburn Tigers

After their first conference loss, the Texas A&M Aggies (13-6, 5-1 SEC) will hit the road to Auburn, looking for a bounce-back win against the streaking Tigers (16-3, 6-1 SEC) on the road.

The Aggies dropped their most recent game against the Kentucky Wildcats, breaking their seven-game winning streak, but the same cannot be said for the Tigers, who now have won five in a row.

Key for the Aggies will be finding a way to stop explosive big-man Johni Broome, the Tigers’ sophomore forward who has averaged the third most blocks, second most rebounds and has tallied the fourth-best field goal percentage across the conference.

A solid defensive performance could make the difference in the game, with both teams coming in with a similar number of turnovers on the season — Texas A&M with 246 and Auburn with 252.

Rebounding will also be key for Buzz Williams’ Aggies, who have struggled to grab boards against bigger opponents all-season long.
