Approaching the midway point of Southeastern Conference play, Texas A&M women's basketball will continue its run against one of the most difficult schedules in the country when it faces No. 10 Oklahoma on Thursday, Jan. 29, before taking on No. 3 South Carolina at Reed Arena on Monday, Feb. 2. The Aggies look to right their ship as they come off of a brutal four-game losing streak, with senior guard Ny'Ceara Pryor providing a bright spot with her 15.5 points per game and 60 steals.

Why it matters

The SEC has never been better than it is right now, with nine teams in the AP Top 25, including five squads in the top 10. For the Aggies, these matchups against top-ranked opponents will be a true test of their abilities and an opportunity to boost their standing in the conference.

The details

Against Oklahoma, the Aggies will need to limit the offensive depth of freshman G Aaliyah Chavez, who averages 19.1 points per game, and contain senior center Raegan Beers, the nation's ninth-ranked rebounder. The Sooners' ability to distribute the ball, with 21 assists per game, will also be a challenge for the A&M defense. When they host South Carolina, the Aggies will have to find a way to suppress the scoring of sophomore forward Joyce Edwards, who leads the team with 20.1 points per game, and limit the 3-point shooting of junior G Tessa Johnson, who leads the SEC with a 46.6% mark.
