Vanderbilt will meet No. 12 Texas A&M for the first time this season when the Commodores travel to College Station, Texas, for a Southeastern Conference game on Wednesday evening.
For the Commodores, a win would be a big step toward an NCAA Tournament bid, something they haven't attained since 2017. Vanderbilt snapped a three-game losing streak with a 77-72 win over then-No. 24 Ole Miss on Saturday and will finish the regular season with two of its three games at home after Wednesday's contest.
It's another sign that the Commodores (18-9, 6-8) made a great hire in first-year coach Mark Byington, who joked about tournament talk after Saturday's win.
"I try to stay away from it, but you can't be naive and understand that the message isn't getting through to the players," Byington said. "I mean, I'll walk down the street, I'm going to Starbucks and somebody will yell at me, 'You're the last four in (the NCAA Tournament)!'"
The Aggies (20-7, 9-5) lost their second straight game, 77-69 at home to then-No. 6 Tennessee on Saturday. Texas A&M is tough to beat when it shoots well, which it didn't do when it went just 5 of 30 (16.7 percent) from 3-point range on Saturday.

The Cougars (19-8, 10-6 Big 12) followed up last week's rout of then-No. 23 Kansas with a 96-95 victory Saturday at then-No. 19 Arizona.
The next challenge is beating an Arizona State team that ended its six-game losing streak with a 66-54 win Sunday at Kansas State.
The Sun Devils (13-14, 4-12) will play the rest of the season without leading scorer BJ Freeman, who was dismissed from the program Sunday for conduct detrimental to the team.
The Sun Devils have a seven-game home losing streak in Big 12 games.
BYU has won four of its last five road conference games, the latest on Saturday night when Richie Saunders made two late free throws against Arizona.
