COLLEGE STATION, Texas-Fans can get their first look at the 2011-12 Texas A&M basketball team this Friday afternoon when the Aggies host the annual Maroon and White Game at Reed Arena.

Admission is free, and tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. to accommodate those wishing to also attend the A&M soccer team's game against Oklahoma across the street later that evening.

The game will feature two 15-minute halves, and players and coaches will be available for autographs and pictures immediately following the conclusion of the game. Doors to Reed Arena will open at 5 p.m., and fans interested in getting autographs are asked to bring items to get signed.

A&M, the preseason co-favorites to win the Big 12 title, welcomes back three starters and 10 letterwinners from a squad that went 24-9 last year and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for a school-record sixth-straight year. The Aggies will host Dallas Baptist in a Nov. 3 exhibition before starting the season on Nov. 9 against Liberty at Reed.
