After Saturday’s semifinal win over Missouri, Alabama claimed it didn’t care who it played in Sunday’s final. However, deep down the Crimson Tide was hoping for a chance for revenge against the Aggies

Texas A&M handed Alabama its last loss, beating the Tide 67-61 in College Station during the regular-season finale earlier this month. During that game, Alabama shot just 33.8% from the floor, including 19.4% (7 of 36) from deep. It also turned the ball over 18 times and allowed Texas A&M to live at the free-throw line where it converted 27 of 28 attempts.

“I would like to see A&M again because they’re one of our two [SEC] losses, and we lost to them in a close one,” said freshman guard Rylan Griffen, a Dallas native. “So I would like to have the opportunity to play them again and have a chance to go out there and beat them since we lost to them the first time.”

Since taking over Alabama in the 2019-20 season, Oats is 0-3 against the Aggies. Texas A&M recorded a 74-68 victory inside Coleman Coliseum during his first year while the Crimson Tide’s road game the following season was canceled due to weather. Last season, Texas A&M beat Alabama 87-71 in Tuscaloosa.

“They’re good," Oats said. "They’re tough, they cause problems.

Stopping Texas A&M centers around slowing down sophomore guard Wade Taylor the IV. The All-SEC first-teamer has scored 20 or more points in seven of his last 10 games, including a career-high 28 points during the Aggies' win over the Crimson Tide earlier this month.

During his previous meeting against Alabama, Taylor was 8 of 15 from the floor, including 2 of 7 from deep. He also got to the line 10 times, making all of his free-throw attempts. The 6-foot, 185-pound Dallas native is averaging 16.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 41.0% from the floor and 36.5% from deep this season. He also leads the SEC with an 87.2 free-throw percentage

Taylor is part of a trio of talented guards for Texas A&M along with Tyrece Radford and Dexter Dennis. Radford had 21 points during the win against Alabama and is averaging 13.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game for the Aggies. Dennis is Texas A&M’s leader in rebounding (5.7 per game) and blocks (0.6 per game) and is also averaging 9.0 points.
