Texas A&M basketball head coach Joni Taylor spoke at SEC media days on Wednesday, and her motto for this season is “tough.”
Coach Taylor had a rough start to her inaugural season, littered with injuries barely allowing her to dress a team most of the year. They finished the year 9-20 overall and 2-13 in SEC play, failing to make the NCAA tournament.
The challenging season did end with some signs of promise that the team made it to the Quarterfinals, beating Vanderbilt and Mississippi State before falling 77-60 to Ole Miss. Coach Taylor followed that up with a Gold medal performance at the FIBA World Cup.
Those were just a few of the highlights from her time at the podium, in which she shed light on the team’s mindset and preparation for what should be a bounce-back season for the Maroon & White.
