Tennessee is looking to avenge its 85-69 loss at Texas A&M earlier this month. The 16-point loss marks Tennessee’s most lopsided loss of the season to date. The Aggies hit an inordinate amount of three-pointers in the first matchup and dominated the glass against Tennessee.

Both teams have gone in opposite directions since the first meeting just two short weeks ago. The Aggies have lost three straight games since defeating Tennessee including losses against struggling Vanderbilt and Arkansas teams.

Tennessee enters the conference matchup 10-3 in conference play and just a game back of Alabama for first place in the SEC Championship race.

Tipoff between the Vols and Aggies is at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday night. Tom Hart and Jimmy Dykes are on the call for ESPN.
