Both Texas A&M and UCF already have missed a chance to get a Power Five nonconference win this season, but either the Aggies or Knights will redeem themselves when they clash Friday night in College Station, Texas.Texas A&M (2-1) is still smarting from its nonconference loss, an 87-63 pounding on Sunday at the hands of Oklahoma State. Marcus Hill, who scored 14 points, was the only player to finish in double figures as the Aggies shot just 32.3% from the field.It was Texas A&M’s lowest field goal percentage since Feb. 24, 2024, when the Aggies shot 27.3% in a 35-point loss at Tennessee.”At the end of the day, I would tell all the Aggies out there we still got to remain positive with this group,” first-year Texas A&M coach Bucky McMillan said. “Man, this is very, very early in this deal. And we’re going to keep plugging along, but we’re better than we played (Sunday).”The Aggies could potentially receive a boost on Friday with the season debut of Mackenzie Mgbako, who has been recovering from a foot injury.If he’s able to play, the 2023 McDonald’s All-American should provide much-needed scoring after averaging 12.2 points in 26.2 minutes per game the last two seasons at Indiana.
