Vanderbilt will meet No. 12 Texas A&M for the first time this season when the Commodores travel to College Station, Texas, for a Southeastern Conference game on Wednesday evening.For the Commodores, a win would be a big step toward an NCAA Tournament bid, something they haven’t attained since 2017. Vanderbilt snapped a three-game losing streak with a 77-72 win over then-No. 24 Ole Miss on Saturday and will finish the regular season with two of its three games at home after Wednesday’s contest.It’s another sign that the Commodores (18-9, 6-8) made a great hire in first-year coach Mark Byington, who joked about tournament talk after Saturday’s win.”I try to stay away from it, but you cant’ be naive and understand that the message isn’t getting through to the players,” Byington said. “I mean, I’ll walk down the street, I’m going to Starbucks and somebody will yell at me, ‘You’re the last four in (the NCAA Tournament)!'”The Aggies (20-7, 9-5) lost their second straight game, 77-69 at home to then-No. 6 Tennessee on Saturday. Texas A&M is tough to beat when it shoots well, which it didn’t do when it went just 5 of 30 (16.7 percent) from 3-point range on Saturday.”We liked all of our shots from behind the arc,” guard Zhuric Phelps said. “We have to knock those down. That’s something to work on (Sunday).”That, unfortunately, has been a persistent issue for A&M, which ranks 329th nationally in 3-point shooting (30.6 percent).Wade Taylor IV leads the Aggies in scoring average at 15 points a game, and Phelps (14.4) is the team’s only other double-figure scorer.The Aggies get many of their points by relentlessly pounding the offensive glass, snagging 41.8 percent of available offensive rebounds, which ranks first in the country, according to kenpom.com.
