The athletics rivalry between Texas and Texas A&M is a fierce one, but the teams haven't faced one another very much since the Aggies left for the SEC in July 2012.

Football fans will still have to wait for the matchup to happen again, but men's basketball fans will see the in-state rivals face one another in November when they meet in the opening round of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament.

Texas and Texas A&M will meet Nov. 25 at Paradise Island, Bahamas. Other teams scheduled to participate in the tournament are Syracuse, UConn, Michigan, Gonzaga, Washington and Charlotte.

Texas and A&M have met in other sports since the Aggies left for the SEC, but this will be the first meeting of the basketball teams since the split.

The baseball teams will meet in 2016 in College Station, with a return trip planned for Austin in 2017.

Too bad fans have to go to the Bahamas to see it in person. Let's hope the football teams get together again soon.
