The #14 Cyclones take a break from conference action to travel to College Station to reignite a rivalry with former conference mate, #5 Texas A&M, as part of the Big 12-SEC Challenge. Peculiar as the timing of this showcase may be, this will be the first clash with the Aggies since 2012 and will be the third top 5 team the Cyclones have faced in their last four games.
Saturday's tilt will also serve as a reunion for Billy Kennedy and Steve Prohm. Prior to taking the Aggies gig, Kennedy was the head man at Murray State where Prohm served as his top assistant.
