Midweek action is back for the Texas A&M Aggies and this time by, it presents them with an opportunity to right a wrong from the 2024-25 season by paying a visit to the Alabama Crimson Tide Wednesday evening.

The then-No. 10 Aggies hosted the then-No. 5 Crimson Tide at Reed Arena last year during their third conference game of the season, and took Nate Oats' team to the limit, but ultimately fell short 94-88.

This time, the two teams are unranked, and Bucky McMillan is looking to make his presence felt in his return to his home state.

The Aggies enter the matchup atop the SEC rankings with a 7-1 conference record and a four-game winning streak, recently extended over the weekend with a 92-77 win over the Georgia Bulldogs after starting out the game with a 22-2 run.

Alabama hasn't been as fortunate in their conference games, as what started with a win over the Kentucky Wildcats gave way to two straight losses against the No. 11 Vanderbilt Commodores and the Texas Longhorns, and recently led to a 100-77 loss to the Florida Gators Sunday afternoon.

So far, Texas A&M's lone conference loss came on the road in a double-overtime shootout with the Tennessee Volunteers, giving the Tide a marginal advantage along with what they already have as the home team.

The tip-off is set for 6:00 PM tonight from Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, and be sure to check back here at game time for live updates as the action unfolds.
