Texas A&M, who hasn't played since Jan. 21 and sits in second place in the league standings, is led by the recent play of Chelsea Jennings, who is averaging 21.7 points in her last three games, and Courtney Walker, who is averaging 19.8 points in her last eight games. In the Aggies' last contest, an 81-77 overtime win over then-No. 23 Missouri, Jennings, Walker, and Jordan Jones all scored 20-or-more points, marking the first time since at least 2000-01 that three Aggies have scored 20+ points in the same game.
Defensively, Rachel Mitchell has been a presence over the last three games, picking up 4+ blocks in each of those contests. She is averaging 6.0 rebounds and 4.7 blocks in those three games.
The Crimson Tide, 13-7 on the season, are 11-1 at home this season. Sophomore Hannah Cook has led Alabama with 13.2 points this season and has contributed 6.0 rebounds per game, second-best on the team. Alabama features a balanced offense, with seven players averaging at least 6.0 points per game.
After this game, the Aggies return to Reed Arena for the sixth Top 10 women's matchup in the building's history, as No. 2 South Carolina comes to face the Aggies on Sunday, January 31. Tip for that game is set for 5 p.m on ESPN2.
