Texas A&M Basketball vs. Arkansas: How to Watch, Preview

Looking to make a two-game win streak a three-game one, the Aggies' next road-test comes against their SEC West rival Arkansas Razorbacks, in the first of two season matchups.

In this story:

A Texas A&M Aggies conference game is on Tuesday night for the first time this season. After collecting a couple more wins in their last two games, the Aggies (15-6, 7-1 SEC) are set to enter Bud Walton Arena and earn a victory against the Arkansas Razorbacks (14-7, 3-5 SEC).

The Razorbacks, led by guard duo Anthony Black and Ricky Council IV, are coming off of a 67-64 loss in the Big-12 Challenge against Baylor, while the Aggies are in the beginning stages of another conference win streak — fresh off of back-to-back wins against Auburn and Vanderbilt.

Texas A&M is back in the underdog column, however, playing on the road against a team that Buzz Williams described as having arguably "the best perimeter in the country".

For an Aggie win, the fourth-year head coach also emphasized not turning the ball over in order to prevent momentum-building by the Razorbacks.

Key for Texas A&M will be solid performances by senior guard Tyrece Radford and junior forward Henry Coleman, both of whom finished in double digits in the Aggies' last outing against Vanderbilt.

A solid defensive showing could also make the difference for the Aggies, who will look to slow down Council and Black en route to a potential road upset against Arkansas.
