What to Know

The Texas A&M Aggies' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Prairie View A&M Panthers at 7 p.m. ET Dec. 30 at Reed Arena. The Aggies should still be feeling good after a victory, while Prairie View A&M will be looking to regain their footing.

The NW State Demons typically have all the answers at home, but on Tuesday A&M proved too difficult a challenge. The stars were brightly shining for A&M in a 64-52 win over NW State. Guard Tyrece Radford and forward Henry Coleman III were among the main playmakers for A&M as the former dropped a double-double on 21 points and ten rebounds and the latter had 24 points along with seven boards. Coleman III had some trouble finding his footing against the Wofford Terriers last Tuesday, so this was a step in the right direction. Coleman III's points were the most he has had all year.

Meanwhile, a victory for the Panthers just wasn't in the stars last week as the team never even grasped a temporary lead. They were completely outmatched by the New Mexico Lobos on the road and fell 94-63. Guard Will Douglas (17 points) and guard Kyle Harding (15 points) were the top scorers for Prairie View A&M.

The Aggies are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten Wofford Dec. 20 easily too and instead slipped up with a 67-62. In other words, don't count Prairie View A&M out just yet.
