Home Sweet Home
The Aggies (6-14, 1-9 SEC) have held their opponents to 60 points-or-less nine times this season while playing at home, only allowing opponents to score 56.3 points per game in Aggieland. The Maroon & White’s last matchup at home resulted in a 75-73 win against Georgia when Janiah Barker went for 24 points and going 10-of-11 from the field.
Defensive Battle
Texas A&M forced its first 17 foes this season below their yearly scoring output, limiting seven teams to their season-low at the time of the contest. The Aggie defense has forced four SEC opponents to a single digit scoring quarter, each of those being the lowest of the season for the respective teams, including LSU (22-0, 10-0 SEC) when it scored just eight points in the first quarter in their first meeting earlier this year.
