FORT WORTH, Texas – The No. 6 Texas A&M women's basketball team will face its first Associated Press Top 25 matchup of the season against No. 12 Florida State in the Maggie Dixon Classic on Sunday at the Schollmaier Arena on the TCU campus.

About the Matchup

Sunday's matchup against No. 12 Florida State will mark the Aggies' first game against an AP Top 25 team of the 2019-20 season. Last season, the Aggies were 4-4 against AP Top 25 opponents.
It will be Texas A&M's first game against an non-conference AP Top 25 opponent in the regular season since the then-unranked Aggies downed No. 8 Oregon State, 76-70, in the 2018 Maui Jim Maui Classic on Dec. 15, 2018.
Florida State holds a 2-1 advantage in the all-time series between the two teams.
In the most recent matchup, the Seminoles defeated the Aggies, 74-56, in the second round of the 2016 NCAA Tournament at Reed Arena.
The Aggies and Seminoles also split a home-and-home series in the late 2000s with the Aggies winning, 81-67, in College Station in 2007 and the Seminoles prevailing, 60-53, in Tallahassee, Fla., in 2009.
