Tennessee vs. Texas A&M

No. 22 Tennessee is 3-2 in its past five games, losing against Kentucky and Texas with a run of wins over Vanderbilt, LSU and Florida in between. The Volunteers’ loss against Texas came down to the wire as their opponent came back from a double-digit deficit in the final minutes to pull off a 52-51 upset in the Big 12/SEC Challenge over the weekend.

Texas A&M has placed itself firmly on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament after a good run. However, the Aggies are 1-4 in their last five games with a four-game losing streak in the SEC. Losses against Kentucky, Arkansas and LSU were followed by a disappointing loss against South Carolina over the weekend. Texas A&M did not participate in the Big 12/SEC Challenge because of its 2021 conference record.
