COLLEGE STATION – The Aggie men's basketball team is one of the hottest squads in the country, owning a five-game winning streak that has vaulted the team into a tie for second place in the SEC standings. Texas A&M returns home to the friendly confines of Reed Arena on Saturday where it faces Vanderbilt in a 3:30 p.m. SEC match-up.
Don't miss your chance to stand with the 12th Man as Texas A&M will feature several promotions to add to the college basketball excitement.
FIVE THOUSAND STUDENTS FOR FIVE STRAIGHT WINS
The Texas A&M campus is buzzing after the Aggies' five consecutive wins and a huge student turn-out is expected for Saturday's contest. We've set a goal of 5,000 Texas A&M students at the game to give Reed Arena its most rowdy atmosphere of the season.
SPORTS PASS = FREE ADMISSION TO BASKETBALL FOR A&M STUDENTS
The same sports pass that allows Texas A&M students to pull tickets for Aggie football games will give A&M students free admission to basketball all season long. All Aggie students need to do is swipe their student ID at the student entrance to Reed Arena (north entrance).
KIDS COURT
Prior to the game kids (sixth grade and younger) can participate in “Kid's Court” inside the men's practice gym from 2:30 p.m. to 3:10 p.m. Kids will have the chance to jump in the bounce house, try their hand at basketball bowling, make something for mom at the crafts table and other activities.
Kids and parents can access “Kid's Court” by entering the Cox-McFerrin Center for Aggie Basketball from the arena concourse and follow the signage for “Kid's Court”.
RAISING CANE'S EATING CHALLENGE
During the intermission, Aggie Athletics sponsor Raising Cane's will hold a feeding frenzy competition as several fans will get the chance to eat as many chicken tenders as possible over the span of three minutes. The contestant who eats the most will walk away with a Raising Cane's Gift Basket along with Ag Swag.
TEXAS AGGIE DANCE CAMP HALFTIME PERFORMANCE
The Texas Aggie Dance team is hosting a pregame performance camp for kids ages 6-12 and campers will get to show off what they learned at halftime.
