OBU announces plans for Texas A&M game
ARKADELPHIA – The Ouachita Baptist University men’s basketball team gears up for the most exciting trip to date as the Tigers open the 2007-08 season in College Station, Texas to take on NCAA Division I preseason ranked No. 14 Texas A&M on Saturday, Nov. 17 in Reed Arena.
Last season Ouachita Baptist went 14-14, while the Aggies lost in the NCAA South Regional Semifinal 65-64 to Memphis.
“It’s a great opportunity for our kids to go down there and play in front of a lot of people,” Tigers head coach Charlie Schaef said. “It’s one of the best school’s in the Big 12 and in the country. For our guys, it will be something they talk about for years to come.”
