No. 25 Texas A&M squares off against No. 11 West Virginia at 5 p.m. CT Friday. Here are five things Aggie fans need to know about their basketball team before the season opener.
Everyone is back
Last season wasn't pretty, but almost every substantial player returned. Texas A&M's top five scorers in 2016 -- Tyler Davis, Admon Gilder, D.J. Hogg, Robert Williams and Tonny Trocha-Morelos -- are back. The returning group was impressive enough to earn the team a spot at No. 25 in the preseason AP Poll.
Last year's team yearned for a leader, especially at the point guard position.
