In less than 24 hours, Texas A&M will open the 2024 NCAA Tournament with the Nebraska Cornhuskers out of the Big Ten at the FedEx Forum in downtown Memphis, Tennessee. Friday marks a new season for the Aggies as they chase an elusive National Championship. Texas A&M enters the 2024 NCAA Tournament looking to play to the Texas A&M standard by surviving and advancing in March.

Texas A&M won two games in Nashville at the 2024 Southeastern Conference Tournament against Ole Miss and Kentucky before falling to Florida in the 2024 SEC Tournament Final Four. Texas A&M is an odd team that has shown signs of beating anybody in the country while struggling against teams like Ole Miss, Memphis, and Vanderbilt.

When they’re playing to their full potential, Texas A&M is one of the deadliest teams in the country. We saw Texas A&M dominate Kentucky last Friday night in the 2024 Southeastern Conference. At that moment, the Aggies showed they were a team to take seriously as the 2024 NCAA Tournament approaches. Texas A&M completely took out the Big Blue Mist in Nashville on Friday by playing tenacious defense and creating scoring opportunities for the Texas A&M guards. The win was impressive because the Texas A&M Aggies came out and silenced the Kentucky crowd from the opening tip to the final buzzer.

Regarding Nebraska, Texas A&M will face a team that lives and dies by the three-point shot. Nebraska has a guy in Keisei Tominaga, who some refer to as the Japanese Curry.

According to the Texas A&M players on Thursday during the open practice round, Nebraska has a similar style to Alabama, where they like to get out in transition and play above the rim.

Wade Taylor IV comes into the 2024 NCAA Tournament for the Texas A&M Aggies, averaging 25.3 points per game over the last four games, including thirty in the games against Kentucky and Florida in the SEC Tournament. Like Taylor, Trece Radford comes into the 2024 NCAA Tournament run averaging 18.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game in March.

Texas A&M and Nebraska last met in 2011 as members of the Big 12 Conference, a game that favored the Cornhuskers.

Texas A&M and Nebraska will tip off in the first game of the night session with a tip slated for 5:50 on TNT.
