9/9/2025 10:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball
TALLAHASSEE – Florida State will face Texas A&M at the Benchmark International Arena (formerly Amalie Arena) in Tampa on November 28, 2025 in the Battle in the Bay. The "Black Friday" game is the first meeting between the two teams on the basketball court since the Seminoles took a 57-50 win over the Aggies during the 2011 NCAA Tournament. The Seminoles hold a 3-1 advantage in the series against Texas A&M which began in 1956.
Broadcast information and game time for the Battle in the Bay will be released at a later date.
The addition of Texas A&M to Florida State's schedule gives the Seminoles three opponents from the SEC – at Florida (Nov 11), Texas A&M in the Battle for the Bay (Nov. 28), and Georgia in the ACC/SEC Challenge in Tallahassee (Dec. 2).
"We're working tirelessly to build a championship-caliber program for our great Florida State fans," said Seminole head coach Luke Loucks. "Every game we play against a quality opponent helps us grow and become a better basketball team. Playing Texas A&M is great for us in so many ways. They were ranked in the top-15 nationally, were a No. 4 seed in last year's NCAA Tournament, and finished fifth in the SEC -- making this matchup a powerful test for us."
The Seminoles' game against Texas A&M marks the first time Florida State will play in Tampa since defeating Tulane, 72-53, on December 17, 2017. The ACC Tournament was played in Tampa in 2007.
"Playing in Tampa gives us the chance to showcase our team in one of Florida's largest cities, home to a vibrant community of Seminole supporters. This game strengthens our program and provides our players with valuable experience as we prepare for the rest of our non-conference slate and the upcoming ACC schedule."
