FORT WORTH – Tickets for the Texas A&M men's basketball team's matchup with Texas Tech at the 2024 US LBM Coast to Coast Challenge went on sale via Ticketmaster.com on Friday.
Â
The Aggies renew their rivalry with the Red Raiders as part of the tournament's double-header on Sunday, Dec. 8 at Dickies Arena. The Aggies and Red Raiders are set for 2 p.m. tipoff after the conclusion of morning matchup between TCU and Vanderbilt (11:30 a.m. start).
Â
Texas A&M and Texas Tech met at least twice annually as members of the Southwest Conference and the Big 12 Conference from 1958-2012, but the two teams haven't clashed on the hardwood in a regular season contest since the Aggies beat the Red Raiders, 47-38, on Valentine's Day in 2012. In 126 previous meetings since 1941, the Red Raiders hold a narrow 64-62 advantage in the series although the Aggies have claimed the last six matchups. The two teams met in a preseason exhibition last year with the Red Raiders tallying an 89-84 decision in the Compete 4 Cause Classic at the Super Pit on the University of North Texas campus in Denton.Â
Â
Texas A&M is coming off its third straight 20-plus win season and back-to-back NCAA Tournament invitations. The Aggies finished 2023-24 with a 21-15 overall mark while advancing to the second round of the "Big Dance." Williams' 2024-25 Aggies are mentioned prominently in multiple "way-too-early" top 25 rankings, including No. 11 by CBSSports.com and The Athletic and No. 12 by ESPN.
Â
In addition to the men's double-header, the US LBM Coast to Coast Classic will feature the Hoopfest Women's Basketball Classic with South Carolina and TCU tipping off at 6 p.m.
