The Aggies (25-4, 13-3 Big 12) boast the top-scoring offense in the Big 12, and have won four of their last five games, with their one loss coming on the road at the hands of Kansas State 71-67.

All of the Aggies’ losses were within four points except the team’s 67-58 loss to Baylor, who was No. 1 at the time.

In addition to ranking No. 1 in the conference in scoring, Texas A&M ranks No. 1 in turnover margin and assist to turnover ratio as well as five other categories.

The Aggies are otherwise top five in the conference statistically in all but three categories.

The Aggies also boast the No. 1 scorer in the conference with Danielle Adams, who averages 23.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. The senior was also named to the All-Big 12 First Team.
