How Has A&M Done In The SEC/ACC Challenge In The Past?

With this exciting event starting up in 2023, the SEC has done extremely well, as they posed a 7-7 record the first year, tying with the ACC and a dominant 14-2 record last season. The first year, A&M drew a tough opponent in Virginia, where the Aggies lost 59-47 on Virginia's home court.

Last season, the Aggies were able to play the challenge in front of the 12th Man at Reed Arena, where they drew Wake Forest and capitalized a 57-44 win. With the Aggies currently sitting at a 1-1 record in the SEC/ACC challenge, they hope to match up well with Pittsburgh and advance into a winning record.

The Aggies are excited to get back onto the court this season, whereas the 12th Man does not have many expectations as the entire program is new. While fans are excited to see Bucky Ball in action, it will be interesting to see just how well the team meshes together.
