Texas A&M anticipating South Carolina’s best effort in SEC battle

As it sits atop the Southeastern Conference standings, Texas A&M is expecting every opponent's best shot as it hosts South Carolina on Saturday afternoon in College Station, Texas.

The Aggies (15-4, 5-1 SEC) have won two straight following an 87-82 loss at Tennessee on Jan. 13. They cruised to an 88-68 victory over Mississippi State on Wednesday, committing just three turnovers, dishing out 18 assists and going 23-of-24 from the free-throw line.

This is a team that has found its stride after stumbling out of the gates.
