A glance at all 16 of Friday's NCAA Tournament games:
No. 7 Texas A&M (20-12) vs. No. 10 Providence (21-13), 12:15 p.m. ET/11:15 a.m. CT (Charlotte)
About the Aggies: One of the best defensive teams in the nation at No. 12 in efficiency, A&M has been streaky all season with five- and three-game losing streaks in SEC play. Still, the Aggies have played excellent halfcourt defense, ranking in the top 35 in defensive 2- and 3-point percentage. They’re big and battle tested, with the nation’s seventh-ranked schedule.
About the Friars: Providence comes in hot, having won two straight overtime games in the Big East Tournament before coming up short against Villanova in the title game.
