Texas A&M (9-5, 0-1) hosted the LSU Tigers (9-5, 1-0) on Saturday night at Reed Arena and had their worst shooting output of the season, falling to the Tigers in the conference opener.
The pre-season SEC Player of the Year, Wade Taylor the IV, did all he could to keep the Aggies in the game with his 24 points and 6 steals. He put up an admirable fight, but a poor shooting outing from the entire team wasn’t enough to overcome a determined LSU Tigers team.
He gave his thoughts on the shot selection when asked about the low percentage they are averaging from behind the three-point line this year.
“We just got to continue to shoot them um they eventually fall we just want to keep doing we don’t want to pass up open shots … we don’t want to go out and start thinking like.. Hey we’re not shooting the great percentage as a team so stop shooting it cuz teams are giving it to us we’re working for them so we just going to keep shooting”
NOTE: Solomon Washington & Bryce Lindsay did not suit up for the game
Texas A&M will return on the road on January 9 to take on the Auburn Tigers at 8:00 PM CST in Neville Arena.
