Texas A&M didn’t get the result they wanted in the SEC Tournament after losing to Florida in the Semifinals on Saturday afternoon. Still, nevertheless, the Aggies’ two wins were enough to earn the program its second consecutive NCAA Tournament birth.
Star junior guard Wade Taylor IV was on fire during the SEC tournament last week. He led all scorers with 82 points and averaged over 25 points a game. His memorable play earned him an All-Tournament selection.
Taylor led the Aggies to win over Ole Miss and Kentucky, bolstering the team’s resume and helping A&M earn their No. 9 seed. They will face No. 8 seed Nebraska on March 22 in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Deserving a ton of credit for turning the team around late into the year, head coach Buzz Williams has another chance to earn his first NCAA Tournament win sporting the Maroon & White.
