Texas A&M Aggies men's basketball revealed its home and away SEC opponents for the upcoming season Wednesday.

Last season, the only conference opponents A&M faced twice in the regular season were Arkansas, Georgia, Ole Miss, LSU, and Mizzou. With a 9-9 record, the Aggies had a rollercoaster of a season in SEC play.
A&M opened up conference play with four-straight wins before suffering an understandable loss on the road on Jan. 12 against No. 12 Kentucky. But the Aggies wouldn't win for almost an entire month after that, as the team went on an eight-game losing streak.
Texas A&M then won an impressive 12 of its next 15 games en route to a SEC Championship appearance before getting snubbed from the NCAA tournament.
But A&M coach Buzz Williams has already been retooling his roster with transfer talent in preparation for a season where the Aggies will need to see more consistent success in order to compete in the Round of 64. The additions of Arkansas guard Khalen "KK" Robinson, Mississippi State guard Andersson Garcia, Wichita State guard Dexter Dennis, and Michigan State forward Julius Marble II will give the Aggies a much different look next season.
