Texas A&M (14-8, 5-4 SEC) has now put together an admirable win streak in SEC play, blowing out the Missouri Tigers 79-60 on the road behind Tyrece Radford’s 22 points, just four days after the veteran guard recorded 26 points in the Aggie’s thrilling 67-66 win over the Florida Gators. Forward Andersson Garcia’s 16 rebounds against the Tigers was the second-highest output of his collegiate career.
Now tied for 5th in the conference standings, the road only gets tougher, as the 6th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers will travel to College Station for a Saturday night showdown inside what should be nearly sold out Reed Arena.
With just under a month left of regular season play, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi released his updated bracket on Thursday, revealing that A&M has now moved off the “First Four Byes” and into section into the field of play. While the Aggies’ seeding has been listed as high as 8 and as low as 11, plenty of Quad 1 opportunities remain this season, starting with the Volunteers.
A key stat to note after Wednesday’s win is that Texas A&M is now 11-1 when Tyrece Radford scores at least 20-plus points per game, making his consistent offensive presence vital moving forward.
