Texas A&M (15-12, 6-8 SEC) fell on the road to the No. 5 Tennessee Volunteers (21-6, 11-3 SEC), getting blown out 86-51.
Two weeks ago, after the Aggies defeated then No. 6 Tennessee, it looked like they would be the team to beat moving forward. Man, how times have changed during that period, with A&M going 0-4 and the Vols going 4-0.
The offense for Texas A&M has become predictable, and teams now smother the high pick, not allowing the guards to drive and forcing them to take jump shots. As a result, we have seen a dramatic drop off in the shooting percentage, back to where they were about a month ago.
There is not a lot of time left on the clock, and in most situations, a team with an almost .500 overall record combined with a below .500 conference record in the NCAA tournament would be out the window. However, with six Quad 1 wins under their belt, they still have a puncher’s chance at making the dance if they can pull off a few wins late. Coach Buzz Williams knows they must return to the drawing board to salvage the season.
“We have work ahead of us. We have to figure out how to turn this. It has been a long two weeks.”
Below, you can watch the full post-game presser with Coach Buzz.
Texas A&M will host No. 20 South Carolina at Reed Arena on February 28 at 6:30 p.m. CT.
