Texas A&M men's basketball hosts Alabama State at Reed Arena in College Station, with tipoff set for 7 p.m. The game is the season opener and the second year of the Bucky McMillan era for the Aggies.

The Aggie roster includes 11 players who were not on last year's team. McMillan said he hopes the program's fall trip to the Bahamas, where the team played exhibition games, will help the team build chemistry earlier this season than last season.
