Texas A&M snapped its four-game losing streak in spectacular fashion by defeating No. 1 Auburn on Tuesday. Now, the No. 22 Aggies (21-9, 10-7 SEC) look to build momentum ahead of the Southeastern Conference tournament as they face LSU (14-16, 3-14) in their regular-season finale Saturday in Baton Rouge, La. The Aggies’ 83-72 victory over Auburn marked their first win against an opponent ranked No. 1 in the AP poll. The win was fueled by senior guard Zhuric Phelps, who led five Aggies in double figures with 19 points. Texas A&M reclaimed its identity by dominating the boards, out-rebounding Auburn 41-25, including a staggering 24-9 edge on the offensive glass. The Aggies lead the nation in offensive rebounds per game

Whenever Michigan and Michigan State meet on the hardwood, the rivalry alone is enough to make the game meaningful. But with the Big Ten regular-season title already secured by the Spartans, Sunday’s regular-season finale in East Lansing is about more than just bragging rights. Though both teams have already punched their NCAA Tournament tickets, this high-stakes rivalry matchup is far from meaningless. Michigan State secured the Big Ten regular-season crown outright on Thursday with a 91-84 road win over Iowa. The Spartans were able to clinch the title early because Michigan fell to Maryland 71-65 on Wednesday, officially knocking the Wolverines out of the race. For head coach Tom Izzo, this marks his 11th conference title and Michigan State’s first

Minnesota and Rutgers will close out the regular season on Sunday in Piscataway, N.J., with Big Ten Tournament positioning on the line. Both teams have had surprising seasons for different reasons, but they enter the finale tied in the conference standings at 7-12, making this matchup a potential decider for the No. 11 seed in the tournament. The Scarlet Knights (14-16, 7-12 Big Ten) and Golden Gophers (15-15, 7-12 Big Ten) are part of a five-way tie in the standings. For Minnesota, a win would mark a strong turnaround from a rough start to the season, while Rutgers looks to regain defensive form heading into postseason play. Minnesota has already outperformed preseason expectations, making a remarkable turnaround after starting Big

SMU is in desperate need of wins to strengthen its NCAA Tournament chances and cannot afford a misstep when it faces Florida State on Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla., in the regular-season finale for both teams. The Mustangs (22-8, 13-6 ACC) have alternated wins and losses over their last six games, which has hurt their fading tournament hopes. A victory on Saturday would secure a double-bye in the upcoming ACC Tournament, reducing their required wins to three for a potential automatic bid. SMU currently sits at No. 46 in the NCAA’s NET rankings, and neither ESPN nor CBS Sports projects the Mustangs to make the tournament field. That makes every game from this point forward a must-win scenario. Coming off a
