The Aggies opened the 2022 college basketball season with a dominant 87-54 victory over the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks, earning head coach Buzz Williams his 50th win with Texas A&M, as his fourth season with the program is off to a fantastic start.
It was a balanced scoring attack for the maroon and white in front of a packed Reed Arena, as five players scored in double digits while sophomore point guard Wade Taylor IV led the team with 18 points, and 5 rebounds, and was an impressive 4-6 from beyond the arc. Witchita State transfer Dexter Dennis had a memorable debut, scoring 11 points while shooting 3-4 from 3, and was locked in defensively throughout the night, providing a glimpse into what earned him AAC defensive player of the year just a season ago.
After the game, head coach Buzz Williams and Wade Taylor IV, and Hayden Hefner talked to the media to discuss the victory. Here are the quotes from both of them on the night.
