Texas A&M (18-7, 10-2 SEC) is preparing to take on the visiting Arkansas Razorbacks on Wednesday night in a rematch from their first meeting on Jan. 31st, where the Aggies fell 81-70 in frustrating fashion. Winners of their last three games, Head coach Buzz Williams has his team or their best shape both mentally and physically to take on the final stretch of the regular season, their toughest portion of the schedule all season.
Coming off of their 12-point 74-62 victory over the LSU Tigers on the road last Saturday, sophomore guard Wade Taylor IV scored a game-high 23 points going 5-8 from 3-point land, followed by 13 points from guard Dexter Dennis, who went 3-5 from deep as both players hit all 8 three-pointers on the night.
The Razorbacks are three days removed from their 70-64 home loss against Mississippi State, falling to 6-6 in the SEC, needing to most likely go .500 or better in the conference in order to reach the NCAA Tournament.
Before the game, Head coach Buzz Williams spoke to the local media to preview the matchup, while giving a brief glimpse ahead into the latter half of the regular season heading into March. Here is what he had to say.
