Buzz Williams has been named Co-SEC Coach of the Year; Wade Taylor and Tyrece Radford make All-SEC Team

Texas A&M (23-8, 15-3) just completed one of their best, and most memorable regular seasons in program history, and after defeating the No.2-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide 67-61 on Saturday afternoon, the accolades began to roll in on Monday.

After starting the season 6-5 with a home loss to Wofford, the Aggies finished the regular season with 23 wins and a program record 15 in conference play, while winning 17 of their last 20. Earlier today, Aggies Head Coach Buzz Williams was rightfully named Co-SEC Coach of the year for the first time in his tenure with Texas A&M, making it his second Coach of the Year award since receiving the AP SEC Coach of the Year award after the 2020 season. Williams will share the honor with Vanderbilt Head Coach, Jerry Stackhouse.

It was also announced that sophomore guard Wade Taylor IV was named 1st team All-SEC, while senior guard Tyrece “Boots” Radford was named to the 2nd team. During the regular season, Taylor led the Aggies in points per game (16.1), steals per game (1.8), and assists per game with 4.1, while his 86.9% free throw percentage was one of the best in the country. Tyrece Radford was second in points (13.3), assists (2.4) steals (0.9), and shot 80.2% from the stripe.

Texas A&M will now face the winner of Auburn vs. Arkansas on Friday night in the Quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament.
