BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The second season of the Buzz Williams era at Texas A&M features an exciting, but abbreviated non-conference slate highlighted by one of the most challenging tournaments, four home games and a neutral site contest in Fort Worth.
Â
As previously announced, the Aggies open the season at the Bad Boy Mowers Crossover Classic at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The Maroon & White begin the event against West Virginia on Nov. 25 and face either Memphis or Ohio State in the second round on Nov. 26. The third game pits Texas A&M against Creighton, Dayton, Utah or Wichita State.
Â
On Dec. 2, the Aggies welcome Tarleton State and head coach Billy Gillispie for the home opener at Reed Arena. Gillispie served as Texas A&M's head coach from 2004-07 and made three postseason (2 NCAA, 1 NIT) appearances including a Sweet Sixteen berth in 2007. Williams served as an assistant for Gillespie at A&M from 2004-06.
Â
Texas A&M squares off against UTRGV on Dec. 6 at Reed Arena before a neutral site matchup against TCU at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth on Dec. 12. The game marks the second time the Aggies will have played at the state-of-the-art arena and the first matchup against TCU since 1996.
Â
The Maroon & White return to Reed Arena with games against Southeastern Louisiana on Dec. 15 and Wofford on Dec. 21.
Â
Texas A&M participates in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge on Jan. 30 with the Aggies' opponent being named at a later date.
Â
Conference play begins either Dec. 29 or Dec. 30, and along with times and TV designations, will be announced later.
Â
Reed Arena will be at a reduced and distanced capacity for the 2020-21 season.
