<p>The Longhorns host their arch-rivals one more time in Austin in a game with huge March implications for both teams.</p> <p>With Texas A&M headed to the SEC after the season, Wednesday night's game in Austin may be the last time the Aggies play in the Erwin Center for awhile.</p>
<p>However, with both teams slightly under-performing pre-season expectations, the game is just as significant for how it affects this season.</p>
<p>Without a signature non-conference victory, Texas needs to take care of business at home against other middle-of-the-pack Big 12 teams like Texas A&M, especially before they begin a tough two-game road trip to No. 9 Missouri and No. 18 Kansas State next week.</p>
<p>Texas A&M, meanwhile, after beginning the season ranked in the top 25, has been on a month-long slump since being blown out by 84-64 by No. 13 Florida, including home losses to Rice and Iowa State.</p>
<p>The Aggies front-line of 6'10 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124440/keith-davis" class="sbn-auto-link">Keith Davis</a>, 6'8 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52542/david-loubeau" class="sbn-auto-link">David Loubeau</a> and 6'7 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/99985/khris-middleton" class="sbn-auto-link">Khris Middleton</a> will be the biggest challenge for an undersized Longhorns team.</p>
<p>Texas will probably need big games from their star back-court of junior J'Covan Brown and freshman <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/146214/myck-kabongo" class="sbn-auto-link">Myck Kabongo</a> to make up for Texas A&M's edge in interior scoring.</p>
<p>The Longhorns are <a href="http://www.oddsshark.com/ncaab/texas-am-texas-odds-january-11-2012">favored by -10 points</a> with an over/under of 123.5.</p>
<p>The 8:00 PM game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2.</p>
