Texas A&M Basketball (4-0) continued its impressive winning streak among the toughest non-conference schedule in college basketball the season, defeating the visiting Oral Roberts Golden Eagles 74-66 on Friday night behind senior forward Henry Coleman III’s 19-point, ten rebound outing, his third consecutive double-double this year.
Even though the Aggies are undefeated, their perimeter shooting remains a persistent issue, recording season-low from beyond the arc (2-22, 9.1%). While star junior guard Wade Taylor IV may have scored 16 points, his 21.7% three-point average must improve sooner than later, as the schedule only gets tougher heading into December.
What’s most impressive about A&M’s win streak has been the consistent focus late in every win, as Oral Roberts was never truly out of the game until the final seconds, but give it to Wade Taylor, Tyrece Radford, and Henry Coleman to step up late game after game on defense for at the free throw line.
After the game, Buzz Williams and the man of the hour, Henry Coleman, spoke to the media to reflect on the win, as their NCAA Tournament rematch awaits vs. Penn State in next Thursday’s ESPN Invitational opening round.
