The Aggies are 16-6 for the season and 5-6 in the conference coming off a three-game sweep of Texas Tech on Saturday and can achieve a .500 record in the Big 12 with a victory.

A&M leads the all-time series with Kansas 20-4 including a 3-0 sweep of the Jayhawks on Oct. 6 by a score of 30-26, 30-25, 30-19.
