Texas A&M Aggies vs Oregon Ducks: NIT Second Round Live Game Updates
The Texas A&M Aggies men’s basketball team continues its run through the NIT as it hosts the Oregon Ducks in the second round at Reed Arena on Saturday.
The Aggies (24-12) finished the regular season with a 9-9 SEC record and were 24-12 overall after falling to the Tennessee Volunteers in the SEC title game. Before that loss, A&M won seven straight, and eight of its last nine. The Aggies defeated Alcorn State in the first round of the NIT 74-62 on Tuesday. Junior guard Tyrece Radford led the Aggies with 14 points, 14 rebounds, three steals, and two assists in the win.

Oregon (20-14) made its way to the second round of the NIT by beating No. 4 seed Utah State 83-72 on Tuesday. The Ducks were led by junior guard De’Vion Harmon’s 19 points while senior guard Jacob Young poured in 13 second-half points and finished the game with 17 total points, four assists, and four rebounds.
The Ducks will again be without their leading scorer as senior guard Will Richardson did not travel with the team. Richardson missed the first game of the NIT, as well as the entire Pac-12 tournament with a “non-COVID illness.”
Oregon’s center N’Faly Dante did travel with the team and take part in practice on Friday. Dante missed Oregon’s first-round NIT game against Utah State after coming down with the flu.
The winner of Oregon and Texas A&M will face the winner of VCU and Wake Forest in a quarterfinal on Tuesday or Wednesday.
