      The Highway 82 rivalry is set to unfold as the Mississippi State Bulldogs (19-8) travel to Tuscaloosa to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide (22-5). The SEC has proven to be a challenging conference this season. Although the Bulldogs are ranked in the top-25, they struggle to break into the top-7 in their conference. The Tide currently shares second place in the SEC with Florida, while top-ranked Auburn holds the first position.

      After securing wins against Ole Miss and Texas A&M, the Bulldogs faced an upset against the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. While this loss won’t derail their tournament opportunities, it could influence their seeding. On the other hand, the Crimson Tide ended a two-game losing streak with a convincing 96-83 win over Kentucky. It’s tough to defeat Alabama when they consistently make over 10 three-pointers each game.

      With just under two weeks left in the regular season, many teams will be striving for better standings before the conference tournaments. Here’s how to watch the matchup between the Bulldogs and the Crimson Tide. Check out our NCAA men’s basketball March to the Madness guide for more details.

      **How to watch, results, and highlights: Tennessee vs. Texas A&M**

      The SEC remains the top conference in men’s college basketball. The latest top-10 matchup features the No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers (21-5) against the No. 7 Texas A&M Aggies (20-6). To emphasize the competitive nature of the conference, Tennessee is ranked sixth nationally, yet sits in sixth place within the SEC. It’s hard to find a stronger conference.

      After losing to Kentucky last week, Tennessee rebounded with an 81-76 win over Vanderbilt. The Volunteers also have games against Alabama and Ole Miss following A&M, making their path challenging. Coach Buzz Williams has his Aggies on a five-game winning streak until losing to Mississippi State earlier this week. A&M ranks among the top rebounding teams, so expect them to dominate the boards throughout the game.

      The winner of this matchup will enhance their NCAA resume and could secure a chance at a No. 1 seed. Here’s how to watch the game between Tennessee and Texas A&M. Visit our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide for additional insights.
