Longhorns and Aggies renew rivalry on the hardwood

When: Wednesday, November 25, 2015
Location: Atlantis, Bahamas
Venue: Imperial Arena (cap. 3900)
Television: AXS-TV
Time: 6:00 PM CST

The Texas Longhorns (1-1) and the Texas A&M Aggies (4-0) will meet on the hardwood on Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament held at Imperial Arena in the Bahamas. The game marks the 223rd time these former conference rivals will have met, with the Longhorns holding a 137-85 all-time series advantage.

The last meeting between the two schools was in 2012. Texas guard J’Covan Brown scored 20 points, helping the Longhorns escape College Station with a 70-68 win.

The Longhorns have won five straight against the Aggies.

Texas A&M is ranked 25th in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and are averaging 93.5 points per game in their four wins. Freshman Center Tyler Davis leads the Aggies in scoring with 15.3 points per game.

Through two games Texas’ Cameron Ridley is averaging 10 points, 12 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game. In Saturday’s victory against Texas A&M Corpus-Christi Ridley tied a career high 14 rebounds.

Texas is one of eight teams competing in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. The tournament includes Syracuse, UCONN, Michigan, Texas, Gonzaga, Washington, Texas A&M and Charlotte.

Regardless of the Wednesday’s outcome, Texas will play again on Thanksgiving. A win over the Aggies would match Texas up with the winner of the Gonzaga – Washington game. A loss pits the Longhorns up with the loser of the Gonzaga-Washington matchup with a best-case scenario of finishing 5th in the tournament.

I don't believe there is an online stream for this one.

 

[tejasrulz]

The way it's going early I may be glad there's not.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

The charge foul on Isaiah Taylor was ridiculous....  just sayin'

 

[TexCoyote]

These refs think everybody came to see them

 

[tejasrulz]

On the radio they are talking about the new rules that were supposed to help the offenses but appears to be doing the opposite.

Agree^^^. Don't see any identity with this Horns team. They don't seem to run an offense, and our bigs are picking up offensive fouls like crazy. Where is the up tempo Smart game? If the big guys aren't being used in the offense let's switch it up.....as Ridley scores.

 

[MikeV73]

Who is the 6'10" 10 yr old #1 playing for aggie?

 

[tejasrulz]

10 fouls within 8 mins? Wow, not going to win too many games doing that!

 

[drgilbert]

So far it's same song different year. Team not looking good

Agree^^^. Disappointed with the team this season. Went to the CC aggie game last weekend and was underwhelmed with the entire game. Let's hope for improvement quickly! Somewhere Barnes might be biting his tongue.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Eric Davis with a nice threeeeeeeeee, cuts the lead to 28-24.

 

[MikeV73]

Free throw shooting sucks. Really, Ridley from deep with the line drive?

 

[drgilbert]

If you have on orange you better take it off or the damn refs will say you fouled the couch or the recliner.

Wearing a green shirt so I'm good! 

FTs and fouls are killing the Horns.

 

[drgilbert]

At the half and we are being out hustled again. Freakin frustrating to watch this team so far. I know it's only been 3 games but we don't look good. Shaka better kick somebody's ass in the locker room.
