R.E.S.P.E.C.T, what do you think that means to the Aggies? Keeping it short and sweet, Texas A&M is 20-7 and 12-2 in the SEC, and just one game behind Alabama for the top spot in the conference. On Monday, it was revealed that the Aggies land in the Top 25 in both the AP and USA TODAY Coaches polls at No. 25, finally garnering that much-deserved acknowledgment going into their toughest four-game stretch to finish out the regular season.
In the midst of their five-game winning streak, the Aggies recently defeated the Missouri Tigers on Saturday afternoon, traveling to Mizzou Arena to face a team that had only lost to Kansas and Alabama at home til then, but Texas A&M quickly changed that narrative from the jump. Leading for most of the game by double digits, sophomore guard Wade Taylor IV scored 21 points combined with guard Dexter Dennis’s 17-point 10 rebound double-double in a 69-60 game that never felt too close for comfort.
While many Aggie fans will view this ranking as an unwelcomed omen, fear not, because this team is unlike any other in Head coach Buzz Williams’ tenure with the program, and with Tuesday’s home match against 11th-ranked Tennessee fast approaching, it’s time to shine in the spotlight.
