Summary
- Guard Rylan Griffen is set to return for Texas A&M's game against Pitt.
- Mackenzie Mgbako has provided a significant spark since his return from injury.
- Texas A&M enters the ACC/SEC challenge with a 6-2 record.
Texas A&M's basketball team, holding a 6-2 record, is preparing to compete in the ACC/SEC challenge against Pittsburgh. Guard Rylan Griffen is expected to return for Tuesday night's game after missing the last two contests due to illness. His presence is a significant boost for the Aggies, who are looking to maintain momentum after a strong road victory.
Griffen, a key starter and proficient shooter, averages 11.2 points and 3.8 assists per game. His return comes as transfer forward Mackenzie Mgbako has been excelling since rejoining the team, contributing significantly on both ends of the court, particularly as a rebounder. The team aims to overcome a rocky start that included losses to Oklahoma State and UCF.
The Aggies are traveling to Pittsburgh for the matchup, which is scheduled to tip off at 6:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPNU. This game presents an opportunity for Texas A&M to secure another important win as they navigate their season under first-year head coach Bucky McMillan.
