Should be a good one. We've been able to easily put away OU at home and USC on the road (that was a pitiful crowd they had) but tonight TAMU will be a full house and they'll give us a good challenge.

Looking forward to this one.

Has anyone heard whether or not Wade Taylor will play?

Roll Tide!

RTR. Going to be a very tough environment against a physical team.

Taylor is out according to the above linked article.

The Aggies will be without Taylor for a second straight game as he was listed as out on Texas A&M’s availability report released Friday night.

Thank you, @day-day, I missed seeing that.

His absence will certainly help our cause.

Now, if we can just keep Garcia off the boards ...

Texas A&M on the road is not a "must win" but it almost feels like it. Bama has to pick up some more wins on the road somewhere along the way.

Between this one and UK v MSU there’s some good basketball to see today.

I have my fingers crossed on FTs. IDK what's gone wrong, but I don't think we'll win at TAMU with 50%, like we had against SCe...

We gotta clean that up NOW.

I just noticed something. Their guards are 6'4", which has caused us a bit of a problem in the past, but their "bigs" are 6'6", 6'7" and 6'8". We should be able to exploit that inside with the height advantage we have...

#1 is a ball hog.

They hacking us to death.

Stevenson showed up

aTm is not one of those teams that'll get put away easy. That being said I think Bama has too much offense for them to keep up for long.

Buzz teams are rarely big but they do love a rock fight. Trick is to avoid getting into one.
