But Rick Barnes’s Tennessee Volunteers have a lot of heart and a great chance on Saturday afternoon to upset the No. 21 ranked Texas A&M Aggies at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Texas A&M has struggled on the road under head coach Billy Kennedy this year, going 1-2, and the Vols are riding a wave of momentum after upsetting the Florida Gators on Wednesday for their first SEC win of the season, and their biggest win of the year at the same time.

Here is all the relevant information for the game.

Who: Tennessee vs Texas A&M

Nicknames: Volunteers and Aggies

Where: Thompson-Boling Arena, Knoxville, Tenn.

When: Saturday, 1 p.m. E.T.

TV: SEC Network

Live Stream: WatchESPN

Line: Texas A&M by 4.5

Over/Under: 146

The Aggies are much bigger than the Vols, with a pair of 6-10 guys down low and a pair of 6-7 senior leading the way in scoring, so Barnes is definitely going to have his hands full trying to prepare for them.

However, his tempo-based offense could be the achilles-heel of the Aggies, and if they keep that tempo up all game, including running full-court presses and trying to get transition buckets as much as possible, they have a great chance to win.

The biggest thing for the Vols is going to be consistency and having their shots fall. Those two things have been a major issue at different points throughout the season, but it all seemed to fall into place on Wednesday against the Gators.

If they can feed off of that momentum, than Tennessee could move to 9-6 on the year Saturday and 2-1 in the SEC while the Aggies would fall to 12-3.
