LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – With just a handful of returners and a bevy of new faces, Little Rock will get an early test Tuesday when the Trojans open the 2019-20 season at No. 6/7 Texas A&M.
 
The game, which will be broadcast on SECN+ as part of the ESPN App and WatchESPN, is set to tip-off at 7 p.m. CT at Reed Arena in College Station.
 
Series History
The two teams meet for the sixth consecutive season and 12^th time overall with A&M holding a 9-2 advantage in the all-time series. Little Rock last won in 2015 with a 69-60 victory in the NCAA Tournament. Since then, A&M has won four straight including a 61-40 win over Little Rock at the Jack Stephens Center last year.
 
Five Things to Know

1. Two GOATs Walk Into an Arena…
   No, this isn't part of a joke. Two coaching greats will be patrolling the sidelines when Little Rock and Texas A&M meet as Joe Foley (Little Rock) and Gary Blair (Texas A&M) face each other once again. Foley (ranked sixth with 789 wins) and Blair (ranked fifth with 791 wins) are among the top active coaches in Division I with career wins.
2. New Face, Who Dis?
   The Trojans have plenty of new faces donning the Maroon and White this season with seven newcomers, six of which are freshmen. All six of those freshmen will be relied upon early and often this season in Little Rock's quest for a third straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
3. Facing a Loaded Aggie Squad
   Texas A&M has plenty of firepower returning this season. The Aggies are the only Sweet 16 team from last year to return all five starters. Chennedy Carter was selected as the SEC Preseason Player of the Year by both the coaches and the media. She also earned AP Preseason All-America Honors.
4. Preseason Pick
   Little Rock was selected as the preseason favorites to win the Sun Belt Conference but it was not a landslide. Only eight points in the preseason poll separated the Trojans and the projected fourth place team, South Alabama. And while Little Rock garnered half of the league's 12 first place votes, the remaining six votes were spread among the next three teams.
5. Approaching 800
   Little Rock Head Coach Joe Foley is the GOAT. We all know this. His legendary status will be further cemented this year (hopefully, we don't want to tempt fate) as he enters the season just 11 wins shy of his 800^th career victory.
