Current Records: Arkansas 10-4; Texas A&M 12-2

What to Know

The Arkansas Razorbacks and the Texas A&M Aggies will face off in an SEC clash at 1 p.m. ET Jan. 8 at Reed Arena. A&M will be strutting in after a victory while the Razorbacks will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Arkansas was just a bucket short of a win on Tuesday and fell 75-74 to the Vanderbilt Commodores. That makes it the first time this season Arkansas has let down their home crowd. Arkansas' loss came about despite a quality game from guard Au'Diese Toney, who had 20 points.

Speaking of close games: A&M skirted by the Georgia Bulldogs 81-79 on Tuesday thanks to a clutch half-court bomb from guard Marcus Williams with 0:02 remaining. A&M can attribute much of their success to forward Henry Coleman III, who had 23 points in addition to seven boards.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Razorbacks are expected to win a tight contest Saturday. Now might not be the best time to take Arkansas against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

Arkansas is now 10-4 while A&M sits at 12-2. A&M is 9-2 after wins this season, and Arkansas is 1-2 after losses.
