Guard Hayden Hefner is back in College Station for a fifth-year and he has high hopes for the Texas A&M men’s basketball team this upcoming season.
“I feel like this is our best shot of making a run and doing things really well just because of the experience we have,” Hefner said Tuesday. “I know that’s a thing people talked about last year, but really, returning like 75% of the guys who played last year. Being able to have that really helps the coaches out because we already know the system. We can teach these young guys more as the coaches are trying to teach.
“That allows us to make up more ground as the season goes on. We’re better prepared at the preseason level and at the non-conference level to understand what we’re aiming for as an identity at a much faster pace than maybe in the past.”
The No. 13 Aggies begin the 2024-25 campaign against the team who ended their NCAA Tournament run this past March, No. 4 Houston, on Oct. 27 at 4 p.m.
