Redshirt junior guard Jordan Nixon (5) maneuvers around a Florida defender in the Aggies’ game against the Gators in Reed Arena on Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022.

The Texas A&M women’s basketball team played the Florida Gators. With both teams entering the contest 0-2 in conference play, one team was bound to end their conference losing streak, and after four quarters and two overtimes, that team was Florida. In what was likely the most heated game of the 2021-2022 season, Texas A&M took on their third SEC loss of the season. The Aggies will return to Reed Arena to face Auburn on Jan. 16.
