Here's what to know about the Texas A&M vs. Yale matchup: The Aggies are known for being scrappy on the glass and enter Thursday's matchup facing a team with a similar identity. A&M is third in the SEC in combined rebounds per game (41.2) and first in offensive rebounds (16.2) while limiting opponents to 32.0 rebounds a game (second in SEC).

With former players and assistants reuniting, overlapping games and parity across the sport, the first weekend should be interesting.
