How to watch: Tennessee at Texas A&M
Tennessee is back on the road tonight, set to take a trip to College State to face the Texas A&M Aggies. The Volunteers came away with a huge road win one week ago, travelling to Lexington to beat the Kentucky Wildcats. They’ll be looking to keep that momentum rolling tonight against a dangerous Texas A&M squad.
The Aggies are once again led by Wade Taylor, who is averaging nearly 20 points per game. Lately he’s had plenty of help from senior guard Tyrece Radford, who has 22 and 26 points in his last two outings.
Texas A&M has already dropped two home games in SEC play, losing to Ole Miss and LSU. They sit 5-4 in SEC play, which is good for sixth in the conference standings. The Aggies are 14-8 overall, sitting squarely on the bubble as one of the last 6-10 teams in the field. Obviously a win tonight would be a big boost.
Tennessee struggled on the boards on Wednesday night against LSU, now they face the eighth-best rebounding team in the country tonight. It’s something that’s on the minds of the Tennessee coaching staff entering this one.
“The rebounding is real and they have two guards that are as good as any backcourt in the country with Wade (Taylor IV) and (Tyrece) Radford, and those guys are playing really well right now,” Tennessee assistant Justin Gainey said on Friday. “So being able to slow them down, I mean, guys like that, that are volume to the level that they are— it’s really hard to stop. Right? And they’re high level guys and so just doing a good job on them is going to be a key.”
KenPom ranks Texas A&M 43rd overall, while Tennessee remains at No. 6. The metric predicts a four-point win for the Volunteers tonight.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Big hearts, small hands! Tennessee kids are stepping up to make a big difference this summer.
First Lady Maria Lee on Tuesday announced the eighth annual Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge, encouraging young students to dedicate part of their summer to helping others.
The program, part of the Tennessee Serves initiative, runs from June 1 through Aug. 1 and is open to rising kindergarteners through rising sixth graders across the state.
Participants must complete at least two hours of service across two of eight designated categories to finish the challenge, with top participants earning an invitation to a September carnival at the Tennessee Residence.
Since its launch in 2019, more than 3,500 children have contributed over 15,000 hours of service through activities ranging from park cleanups to assisting nursing homes and raising funds for disaster relief.
Registration opened Tuesday, with parents and guardians able to sign up participants and access additional details through the First Lady’s official website.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A bill moving through the Tennessee Legislature could reshape how pharmacies do business in the state, with CVS warning it could lead to widespread store closures.
The Tennessee Senate has passed legislation that would change the way pharmacies can operate. The proposal has been dubbed “the CVS bill” because it directly impacts the drugstore chain.
Under the bill, drugstores would no longer be allowed to negotiate prices directly with insurance providers or government programs. Instead, a third party would be required to step in.
The bill is now under debate in the House. CVS says the change would force more than 100 of its pharmacies to close across Tennessee, but lawmakers disagree.
