The New Mexico State Aggies (4-5) are set to face the Texas Longhorns (7-2) on Thursday, December 12th, at the Moody Center in Austin.
The Aggies are looking to turn things around after dropping five of their last six contests. They still have four non-conference games on their slate before kicking off their C-USA schedule on January 4th. On Saturday, they managed to snap their five-game losing streak with a hard-fought 89-83 overtime victory over in-state rival New Mexico on the road.
The Texas Longhorns, now 7-2, are coming off a tough loss to the two-time reigning National Champion UConn Huskies. That defeat ended their seven-game winning streak, marking their first loss at home this season. Their only other defeat came on opening night against Ohio State in Las Vegas.
