The Texas A&M men’s basketball team had a shot at redemption on the line Friday afternoon at Reed Arena and seized the opportunity.
With a dominant 77-45 victory against Houston Christian University, the Aggies avenged their 67-62 non-conference home loss against Wofford exactly two years prior. Texas A&M head coach Buzz Williams displayed relief postgame.
“Two years ago today, I was talking to you. Texas A&M paid for that game, too. It was Christmas. This is a Merry Christmas,” Williams recalled. “I recounted the game against the Wofford Terriers. I think the point guard, who was a freshman, abused us. I remember that Christmas not being a lot of fun. I was for sure the Grinch at my house, and I’m not going to be this year.
“This is the first time we’ve had double-digit wins in a semester. Considering the schedule we’ve played and all that has transpired, it’s the least number of games we’ve played at Reed Arena.”
The Aggies (10-2) have a week off before returning to College Station to host Abilene Christian University on Saturday at 3 p.m. on SEC Network.
