The Cougars won 84-77 at East Tennessee State in their last game, and have already played three overtime games this season.
The programs are meeting for the 60th time, which marks Texas A&M’s fourth-most played series. The Aggies won 83-65 in last season’s meeting in College Station during the Preseason WNIT.
After this game, the Aggies return home on December 8, hosting Central Arkansas at 2 p.m.
