No. 8 Texas A&M is set to take on No. 22 Mississippi State in a crucial Southeastern Conference matchup in Starkville, Mississippi. The Aggies are currently on a five-game winning streak, with their most recent victory coming against Arkansas where they held their opponents to just 41.7 percent shooting.
Key players like Wade Taylor IV and Zhuric Phelps have been instrumental in Texas A&M’s success, with Garcia’s crucial assists and baskets in the final minutes sealing the win against Arkansas.
