Finally! Texas A&M’s (16-13, 7-9 SEC) miserable five-game losing streak has come to an end, defeating the Georgia Bulldogs on the road 70-56 behind veteran guard Tyrece Radford’s 20 points and ten rebounds, as the Aggies look to finish out the regular season on a high note.
Whether it was being blown out of the building or losing on the final possession, this team has dealt with every sort of adverse outcome in the last two weeks, yet due to their impressive five Quad 1 wins, head coach Buzz Williams’s tenacious squad is somehow still on the NCAA Tournament bubble, barely.
During the losing streak, star guard Wade Taylor IV had struggled, which continued against the Bulldogs, scoring a season-low 4 points. However, credit to Radford and reserve guard Manny Obaseki (12 points, five rebounds) for taking over the offensive production, while fearless forward and Dennis Rodman twin Andersson Garcia netted another double-double with 11 points and ten boards.
Smiling from ear to ear after the win, Radford noted the past Texas A&M late-season surges after similar losing streaks. At the same time, Buzz Williams took the podium with thankfulness regarding his players’ effort despite dealing with overwhelming adversity and doubt from the fan base.
Here is everything Williams had to say after the big win.
