BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The 2021-22 Texas A&M women's basketball team prepares for its first action of the season, hosting an exhibition matchup against Oklahoma Baptist on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Reed Arena.
Â
The Aggies are led by head coach Gary Blair, who is entering the final season of his legendary career. The hall of famer has amassed 838 career victories as a Division I head coach, which is fourth among active coaches and 12th all-time. In his 19th season in Aggieland, Blair is nine wins away from becoming the winningest basketball coach in A&M history, behind the great Dr. Shelby Metcalf, who won 438 men's basketball games from 1963-1990.Â
Â
The team was picked to finish second in the Southeastern Conference by the league coaches and third by the media. Leading the Aggies are All-SEC Preseason Second Team selections Jordan Nixon and Kayla Wells, as well as Ann Meyers-Drysdale Award Watchlist honoree Destiny Pitts. A&M returns eight players along with six newcomers.
Â
Joining the A&M roster are transfers Aaliyah Patty (Ohio State), Sydnee Roby (Miami) and Qadashah Hoppie (St. John's). Patty and Roby have totaled 130 games combined at the Division I level, while Hoppie brings a Big East Freshman of the Year trophy and a Big East Second Team selection with her to Aggieland.
Â
The Aggies are 30-7 in exhibition games and are facing Oklahoma Baptist for the first time in program history. The Bison went 4-17 during the 2020-21 campaign and are led by second-year head coach Bo Overton.
Â
Admission and parking for the exhibition game are to the public. The matchup will not be televised or broadcast, but fans can keep up with the live stats here.
Â
Season tickets and single-game tickets for the 2021-22 season remain on sale. Tickets are available through the 12th Man Foundation and can be purchased online here or via the 12th Man Mobile app.
