The Texas A&M men’s basketball team has strong upperclassmen leadership on its roster, beginning with point guard Wade Taylor IV and small forward Andersson Garcia.
While they may both be seniors, the latter is well aware of the large impact that the former has brought to Reed Arena on a daily basis for years. In light of Taylor‘s recent return from injury, Garcia expressed his gratitude on Tuesday.
“It helps a lot though, to be honest. Even myself, Wade, I know his game so well,” Garcia explained. “He helps me a lot to be in my position to help the team. I know everybody is comfortable. Being around him, no matter if he is playing or not, we’re always trying to help each other.
“It feels different every time he steps on the court, even me playing with him.”
The No. 13 Aggies (14-4, 3-2) play No. 16 Ole Miss (15-3, 4-1) tonight at 8 p.m. on ESPN2 at The Pavilion in Oxford.
