Texas A&M hopes to complete the regular-season sweep of arch rival Texas as the Lone Star Showdown takes center stage at Reed Arena on Saturday afternoon. A win over the Longhorns would be another massive step towards the Aggies making the NCAA Tournament.

Bucky McMillan took the first showdown with Sean Miller, but on Saturday, the Texas Longhorns come to Aggieland for another edition of the Lone Star Showdown. For both teams, positioning in the NCAA Tournament field remains uncertain, which raises the stakes in this rivalry matchup.

If the Aggies want to make it to March Madness, they’ll need more from their guards, and that all starts on Saturday at 3 p.m. CT at Reed Arena as Texas A&M hosts Texas for another chance to hoist the Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown trophy this season.

Three regular-season games remain as Texas A&M looks to close strong and wrap up a spot in the 2026 NCAA Tournament. On this edition of the Reed Report, Luke Evangelist and Justin Lanham review another 1-1 week before setting the stage for Saturday's Lone Star Showdown.

Bucky McMillan's first crack at the Lone Star Showdown has arrived as Texas A&M meets red-hot Texas in Austin on Saturday night. While the Moody Center will certainly be a hostile environment, the Aggies have enough star power and depth to flip the script and leave with a win.

Texas A&M suffered its first conference loss on Tuesday night, and now, the Aggies will hope to bounce back against an upstart Texas team on Saturday in Austin. The Capitol City has not been kind to the Maroon & White as A&M has not won a basketball game in Austin since 2002.
