As the regular season comes to a close, the Texas A&M Aggies are in the midst of a fight for a spot in the NCAA Tournament bracket. With just three weeks left of play before the conference tournament begins, the Aggies have a relatively easy path to solidifying their status as contenders. However, they will face some tough challenges, including games against the Arkansas Razorbacks, Texas Longhorns, and Kentucky Wildcats.

Why it matters

These three games will be crucial for the Aggies as they look to secure their place in the NCAA Tournament. The Razorbacks, Longhorns, and Wildcats are all teams fighting for their own tournament spots, so the Aggies will need to bring their A-game to come out on top.

The details

The Razorbacks currently rank third in the SEC with an 8-3 conference record, led by freshman guard Darius Acuff Jr. who averages 20.8 points per game. The Aggies will face the Razorbacks for the first time this season on February 25. The Longhorns, who the Aggies beat 74-70 in January, are also sitting on the NCAA bubble and will look to avenge their earlier loss when the teams meet again on February 28. Finally, the Wildcats, ranked No. 25 in the country and No. 2 in the SEC, will travel to College Station on March 3 for a tough matchup with the Aggies.

• The Aggies will face the Arkansas Razorbacks on February 25.
• The Aggies will face the Texas Longhorns on February 28.
• The Aggies will face the Kentucky Wildcats on March 3.

What’s next

If the Aggies can win these next three games and do decently in the SEC Tournament, their chance to make a run in March is as close to certain as it gets.
