Aggies Men's Basketball vs. Alabama Crimson Tide: How to Watch, Betting Odds
The Texas A&M Aggies men's basketball team stays on the road for a second consecutive game as they travel from Nashville to Tuscaloosa to take on the No. 15 Alabama Crimson Tide.
Alabama has won five of its last six and eight of its last 10 and is coming off a big 109-92 win at LSU on Saturday. The Aggies hope to move on from a heartbreaking 74-73 final-second loss to struggling Vanderbilt on Tuesday. A&M has won three of its last four and five of its last seven.

Alabama coach Nate Oats is just 1-3 against the Aggies with his only win coming in last year's SEC championship game. Some nostalgia will be in the building in Tuscaloosa as the Tide are honoring their 2004 Elite Eight team, and wearing new uniforms that incorporate the Crimson Tide's retro "block-A" logo.
The Aggies are led by maybe the top guard duo in college basketball in Wade Taylor IV and Tyrece Radford. Taylor leads the team in points (19.8), assists (3.7) and steals (2.1) while Radford chips in 15.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest.
Leading the Tide is guard Mark Sears with 20.5 points and 1.7 steals per contest, while forward Grant Nelson leads in rebounds (5.7) and steals (1.7) per game. Guard Aaron Estrada leads his team with 4.0 assists.
