COLLEGE STATION -- The Texas A&M men's basketball team will hit the road to take on Florida Tuesday night. The Aggies are looking to get back in the win column after dropping a pair of home games last week. Florida recently snapped a two-game skid with a 62-52 win at Georgia over the weekend.
Texas A&M Quick Hits
• Josh Nebo got up for four blocks for the third straight game as he led the way against Missouri with 12 points.

• Savion Flagg is pacing the Aggies in SEC play, averaging 15.2 points and 9.0 rebounds against league opponents. He has led the Aggies in rebounding in each of the last seven games.
• Wendell Mitchell had another strong first half performance in the Auburn game, scoring 16 of his team-best 22 points in the opening 20. He also went 9-of-10 from the free throw line.
• TJ Starks leads the Aggies in scoring and assists on the season, putting up 15-or-more points seven times this year.
• A&M's win at Alabama on Jan. 12 was the program's first in Tuscaloosa as a member of the SEC and second all-time.

• After the win at Alabama, A&M is 2-2 in one-possession games this season.

• Last season, then-No. 11 A&M fell to the Gators 83-66 in Reed Arena ... Jay Jay Chandler led the Aggies in scoring with 17 points in the game.
• The two schools first met on Jan. 2, 1992, when the Tony Barone-ledAggies fell to Florida 73-46 in Gainesville ... The next season on Dec. 22, 1992, the Aggies got a measure of revenge by handing the Gators a 84-64 defeat in College Station.
