Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMillan learns schedule for his first season coaching in SEC

Heading into his first season coaching in the Southeastern Conference, Texas A&M men's basketball coach Bucky McMillan found out his squad's fate with the announcement of the league slate on Wednesday.

The Aggies will host nine conference games at Reed Arena during the 2025-2026 season, seven of which advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season. That home schedule also includes the defending national champion Florida Gators, who will travel to Bryan-College Station, Texas, to face the Maroon and White for the first time since the 2023-2024 season.

Texas A&M will face Oklahoma, LSU, and Texas as its home and away opponents this season, while traveling to Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, Mississippi State, Missouri, and South Carolina for its road contests in 2025-26.

McMillan has done an incredible job working the transfer portal since arriving, including landing the likes of talented Indiana forward Mackenzie Mgbako and Creighton guard Pop Isaacs.

Having athletes with experience at the highest level throughout the roster will be key for the program, as the SEC continues to record historic success in college basketball. The conference won 88.9 percent (185-23) of its regular-season non-conference games in 2025, with a record 14 teams reaching postseason play.

With SEC play set to tip off on January 3, here is the full schedule for every men's basketball program in the conference this season:
