COLLEGE STATION -- The Texas A&M men's basketball team returns home to host Kansas State in its fifth SEC/Big 12 Challenge Saturday afternoon. The Aggies saw one of their best performances from beyond the arc in the first half at Florida earlier this week, but hot shooting by the Gators in the second period became too much to overcome. Kansas State is riding a five-game win streak into the Saturday game after topping Texas Tech earlier in the week. The Wildcats dropped their first two in league play but have since bounced back.
The Aggies will partner with Autism Speaks and local Bryan-College Station autism advocacy organizations during Saturday's contest against Kansas State to spread awareness and support for families in our community and across the country dealing with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Fans will notice on Saturday Aggie and Wildcat players wearing Autism Speaks shooting shirts during pregame warm-ups and on the bench as well as coaches and staff wearing special lapel pins. Additionally, families who attend the game with a loved one on the spectrum can share the experience during a watch-party set in a quieter setting which will be held in the lobby of the Cox-McFerrin Center (located on the west concourse of Reed Arena).
