Texas A&M suffered its fourth consecutive defeat, falling to No. 19 Vanderbilt 82-69 on the road. The loss drops the Aggies to 17-8 overall and 7-5 in SEC play, putting them in a tie for seventh place in the conference standings. Florida continues to lead the SEC, while Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky round out the top of the league.

Why it matters

Texas A&M's recent struggles have seen them fall down the SEC standings, putting their NCAA Tournament hopes in jeopardy. The Aggies will need to get back on track quickly, starting with a home game against struggling Ole Miss on Wednesday.

The details

Texas A&M's defense has been a major issue during their four-game losing streak, allowing 100, 86, 86, and 82 points in those defeats. The Aggies' once-stifling defense has fallen off, and their poor shooting performances against Florida and Vanderbilt have compounded the problem. First-year coach Bucky McMillan will need to get his team refocused on the defensive end to turn things around.

  • Texas A&M lost to Vanderbilt on February 15, 2026.
  • The Aggies will host Ole Miss on Wednesday, February 19, 2026.
