Texas Longhorns vs Texas A&M Aggies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/28/26

Texas and Texas A&M are set to face off for the second time this season as the Longhorns look to get revenge following their 74-70 loss to the Aggies back in January. Texas played well early in its last matchup against then-#7 Florida, leading at halftime, but the Gators pulled away in the second half as the Longhorns ran out of steam. Texas A&M is also coming off a tough loss to Arkansas in which it struggled to keep up with the Razorbacks’ offensive tempo and depth. These 2 teams are fairly even heading into this matchup. The Aggies rank fourth in the SEC in scoring, averaging 88.7 points per game, while the Longhorns rank seventh with 84.6 points per game. Defensively, however, Texas holds the advantage — allowing 75.7 points per game compared to Texas A&M’s 79.0. 

Nothing the Longhorns do is spectacular, but they have been consistent. Dailyn Swain leads Texas with 18 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and he has been playing some of his best basketball in the second half of the season. The Aggies’ leading scorer is Rashaun Agee, who is averaging 14.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Both teams have plenty of offensive talent and depth, but the key for Texas in this matchup will be defending the paint, preventing the Aggies from getting out in transition and limiting turnovers. In the previous meeting, Texas A&M capitalized on those mistakes — scoring 15 points off 8 Longhorn turnovers, which ultimately helped seal the win. However, expect the Longhorns to tighten things up defensively in this rematch. If it can limit turnovers and control the pace, Texas should be able to keep this rivalry matchup close on the road.
