Texas A&M Basketball’s matchup vs. Purdue Game Time, Channel has been revealed

Texas A&M’s 2024-2025 basketball season will officially begin on Monday, November 14th, as the Aggies will take on UCF inside Additional Financial Arena to open the year on the road.

While Texas A&M Football is off to a 5-1 start, Aggie basketball under sixth-year head coach Buzz Williams is on the up and up, starting with the return of star point guard Wade Taylor IV. At the same time, Williams added three veterans from the transfer portal this offseason, including former SMU leading scorer Zhuric Phelps.

Outside of veteran guard Tyrece Radford departing the program, two-way guard Manny Obaseki returns to what should be a starting role after ending the 2023-2024 season as one of the most reliable scorers in the SEC, while senior forward Henry Coleman also returns to the front court for a final season.

Over the past two seasons, Williams heard the calls to increase the early season difficulty of the schedule before conference play, seen in droves last season with games against Memphis and Houston, as the Aggies will face Ohio State, Texas Tech, Oregon, and possible Creighton, while one of the toughest matchups against Purdue in a neutral site game.

While Purdue star center Zach Edey has departed for the NBA, the Boilermakers are still one of the top programs in the country. On paper, this will be a guard-based matchup, giving the Aggies a slight edge.

Texas A&M vs. Purdue will be held at 11:00 a.m. CT on Saturday, December 14, inside the Indiana Pacers’ Arena. The game will air on CBS.
