Texas A&M’s defense was on full display in the second half of the game against Wake Forest. It was so dominant that even the announcers blamed the turnovers that A&M committed in the first half for Wake Forest’s inability to find an offensive footing.
While the Aggies once again shot below 40%, they held the Deacon Demons to 18 points in the second half, leaving them scrambling on offense. The A&M big men have stepped up the past few games as guards Zhuric Phelps and Manny Obaseki have struggled to score. Henry Coleman III is off to his best start since his freshman year with 11.1 points and 6.4 rebounds through the first nine games
All of the pieces are there for A&M, and the proof is that they can have objectively bad shooting while still winning games against quality teams. The Wake Forest win can be a good Quad 1 win in the future when the selection committee starts flexing its power.
Below are some of the best photos from the game.
