‘On to the next,’ Texas A&M men’s basketball coach Buzz Williams reflects on close games

“From a statistical standpoint, this is the best league in the country. We’re +1 after 7 games. You want to keep it going,” Williams said.

While the Texas A&M men’s basketball team is attempting to bounce back from a buzzer beat loss at Texas this past weekend, head coach Buzz Williams is remaining positive.

Williams discussed the Aggies‘ nine close games on the latest episode of the Aggie Basketball Hour.

“We’ve played 15 games in Quad 1 and Quad 2, and nine of them have been decided by one or two possessions. We’re 6-3 so far in those close games. We need to handle the results the same way and move on to the next one,” Williams said Monday. “From a statistical standpoint, this is the best league in the country. We’re plus one after seven games. You want to keep it going, but how can you respond to the next thing? No matter who we play, it’s one or two possessions.

“We address things in real-time. I think our staff has done a phenomenal job. If 60% of your games have been decided by one or two possessions and you’re 6-3, that means you could easily have been 3-6.”

No. 15 Texas A&M (15-5, 4-3 SEC) hosts Oklahoma (15-4, 2-4) at Reed Arena tonight at 8 p.m. on SEC Network.
