Texas A&M men's basketball returns to Reed Arena Thursday night to host Oklahoma State in its first major nonconference test of the 2026-27 season. The Aggies enter undefeated under head coach Bucky McMillan, but the Cowboys offer a tougher matchup after three convincing wins to open the year.

Texas A&M improved to 3-0 Monday with a dominant 108-67 victory over Louisiana-Monroe. The Aggies shot 52.1% from the field, forced 21 turnovers and recorded 15 steals while scoring at least 97 points for the third consecutive game. PJ Haggerty led Texas A&M with 22 points, while Jordan Pope added 19. Tyshawn Archie contributed 12 points and five steals, helping the Aggies finish with 53 bench points.

Texas A&M is averaging 103 points per game while forcing 23 turnovers per contest. However, the Aggies could be without forward Cade Phillips, who suffered a right knee injury against Louisiana-Monroe and was listed as questionable after the game.

Oklahoma State enters Thursday's matchup 2-0 under head coach Steve Lutz. The Cowboys defeated Incarnate Word 91-60 in their season opener before overwhelming Queens 118-68. Thursday will mark their first road game of the season.

Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma State predictions, picks, odds

Texas A&M has established an impressive offensive rhythm through its first three games, averaging 103 points while using aggressive defensive pressure to create additional scoring opportunities.

Oklahoma State presents a different challenge. The Cowboys are averaging 104.5 points through two games and feature a balanced offensive attack capable of matching the Aggies' pace. Forward Andrija Grbovic leads Oklahoma State with 13.5 points per game, while Jacob Walker averages 8.5 assists.

The Cowboys also hold a 33-18 all-time series advantage, including an 87-63 victory over Texas A&M last season in Stillwater. For the Aggies, maintaining their defensive intensity while limiting turnovers will be critical. Phillips' availability could also affect Texas A&M's interior defense and rebounding, potentially placing additional responsibility on the frontcourt rotation.

Both teams have shown explosive scoring ability, but Texas A&M's home-court advantage and ability to generate turnovers could make the difference in a competitive matchup.
