After defeating Saint Mary's in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Texas A&M is faced with a monster task in the form of No. 2 Houston in the round of 32 at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Okla., on Saturday evening.
The debut of 'Bucky Ball' against the Gaels went exceptionally well, as the Aggies forced 18 turnovers, including two backcourt violations, while also shooting 44% from the field and 35% from 3-point range. Saint Mary's, which entered the matchup against Texas A&M as the best rebounding and free-throw shooting team in the country, recorded just one more rebound than the Aggies (32-31) and went 4-of-11 from the charity stripe on Thursday night.
Graduate forward Rashaun Agee's 22-point performance led the way for an impressive first-round outing from Texas A&M, but the Maroon and White are now faced with a tough roadblock on their way to the next round of March Madness.
The Houston Cougars are one of the most talented programs in college basketball, boasting a 29-6 overall record and finishing second in the Big 12 this season (14-6). Houston has won six of its last seven contests, including a 78-47 win over Idaho in the first round of the tournament.
Freshman Kingston Flemings is an elite guard who Texas A&M must slow down, as he enters the contest averaging 16.4 points per game. Flemings went 8-of-12 from the field for 18 points, six rebounds and two steals against the Vandals.
If the Aggies can succeed in pressing Houston and keeping its dangerous shooters off-balance, this one could be one of the most entertaining and electric contests of the NCAA Tournament so far.
Follow along with live coverage of Texas A&M's round of 32 matchup against Houston, with an opportunity to advance to the Sweet 16 hanging in the balance:
The Texas A&M vs. Houston game will be broadcast nationally on TNT. Brandon Gaudin, Chris Webber and Andy Katz will be on the call inside the Paycom Center. Streaming options for the game include Sling TV.
The Texas A&M vs Houston game starts at 5:10 p.m. CT from inside the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Okla.
