Everything Buzz Williams had to say after Texas A&M’s home loss to No. 5 Tennessee

Here’s what Texas A&M Head Coach Buzz Williams had to say after embarrassing loss to Tennessee

Texas A&M (15-12, 6-8 SEC) fell on the road to the No. 5 Tennessee Volunteers (21-6, 11-3 SEC), getting blown out 86-51.

Two weeks ago, after the Aggies defeated then No. 6 Tennessee, it looked like they would be the team to beat moving forward. Man, how times have changed during that period, with A&M going 0-4 and the Vols going 4-0.

The offense for Texas A&M has become predictable, and teams now smother the high pick, not allowing the guards to drive and forcing them to take jump shots. As a result, we have seen a dramatic drop off in the shooting percentage, back to where they were about a month ago.

There is not a lot of time left on the clock, and in most situations, a team with an almost .500 overall record combined with a below .500 conference record in the NCAA tournament would be out the window. However, with six Quad 1 wins under their belt, they still have a puncher’s chance at making the dance if they can pull off a few wins late. Coach Buzz Williams knows they must return to the drawing board to salvage the season.

“We have work ahead of us. We have to figure out how to turn this. It has been a long two weeks.”

Below, you can watch the full post-game presser with Coach Buzz.

Texas A&M will host No. 20 South Carolina at Reed Arena on February 28 at 6:30 p.m. CT.

Social media reacts to Texas A&M’s 86-51 blowout loss to No. 5 Tennessee

Social media reacts to Texas A&M losing by over 30 points to No. 6 Tennessee on Saturday night

Texas A&M (15-12, 6-8 SEC) was blown out on the road to No. 5 Tennessee Volunteers (21-6, 11-3 SEC), with the Vols getting their revenge from two weeks ago.

I’m at a loss for words, but I shouldn’t be based on the last two weeks. Defenses have figured out the Aggie offense and have been turning A&M into a jump-shooting team. In the first game against Tennessee, the Aggies out-rebounded the Vols and consistently got to the basket. Saturday was a completely different story.

Tennessee was not playing around and jumped on the Aggies early and often. After the first 16 minutes of the game, the Vols broke the game wide open when things were still somewhat close. A&M was never able to recover and got beat down, losing by 35 points, the worst in Buzz Williams’ coaching career.

The fan base and media contributors are exhausted from the current Aggies basketball team as they get blown out by another Top 25 team, and they flocked to social to share their reactions throughout the game.

Post Game: Texas A&M drops fourth straight in blowout loss to No. 5 Tennessee

Texas A&M gets run off the court in an embarrassing blowout loss to No. 6 Tennessee

Texas A&M (15-12, 6-8 SEC) gets blown out on the road to No. 5 Tennessee Volunteers (21-6, 11-3 SEC), with the Vols getting their revenge from two weeks ago.

Tennessee started off much better this time around, jumping out to an 11-3 lead in the first five minutes of the game. Wade Taylor, not wanting the game to get out of hand early, hit three straight shots from beyond the arc for all nine of the Aggie’s points early. A&M tightened and forced multiple offensive fouls to pull the game into a 15-15 tie. The shooting struggles continued to linger from the previous two games, sitting at 33% halfway through the first half.

Texas A&M went ice-cold for the rest of the half after keeping it tight most of the time. Tyrece Radford had another rough day in the office, scoring only three points in the first 20 minutes. The same went for Wade Taylor; after scoring the first nine points early, he was scoreless the rest of the half. Jace Carter led all scorers with ten points, but the team as a whole dropped to 27% shooting overall and 21% from three going into halftime down 37-27.

Tennessee got off to a quick start again, hitting back-to-back three-points, followed by a massive dunk after a missed Aggie three-pointer, extending their lead to 47-32 just a few minutes into the second half. Things went from bad to worse as the Aggies continued to miss shots while Zakai Ziger found teammates at will to go up 59-39 midway through the half.

The energy was sucked out of the Maroon & White, nothing would fall, and eventually, A&M’s once consistent defense started getting picked apart. Up by 30 points, the Vols started pulling starters and continued to improve their resume with an 86-51 blowout win.

NOTE: Aggies shot 27.3% overall, 20.6% from three, and 53.3% from the free throw.

Below are the Aggies critical contributors from the game:

Wade Taylor IV: 11 points / 5 assists

Tyrece Radford: 11 points / 4 rebounds

Jace Carter: 10 points / 6 rebounds

Tennessee’s top contributors:

Dalton Knecht: 24 points / 7 rebounds

Zakai Zeigler: 9 points / 14 assist

Jonas Aidoo: 18 points / 14 rebounds

Texas A&M is hoping to sweep No. 5 Tennessee while hanging on to NCAA tournament hopes

Texas A&M (15-11, 6-7 SEC) will be in Knoxville to face No. 5th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers (20-6, 10-3 SEC) Saturday at 7 p.m. CT.

It’s crunch time in Aggieland with five games left in the regular season. Now is the perfect time for A&M to get another Quad 1 win on their resume and move back to .500 in conference play. The Aggies are a good ball club but just have been on the wrong side of too many close games. A win over the Vols could be a shot in the arm they need to make a run leading up to March Madness.

Tennessee could lose the rest of their games and still make the tournament, and a loss against A&M wouldn’t be that bad. However, the Vols are on a mission to improve their seeding and will look to avoid the season sweep by beating a struggling Texas A&M squad. Revenge may not be the motivation but it sure is in the back of everyone’s mind in Thompson-Boling Arena Saturday night.

The A&M SEC opponents are hosting Kentucky, Florida, and Tennessee at Reed Arena to highlight the home slate. The Aggies’ road foes include Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Missouri, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt.

Everything Carter and Lawrence had to say after Texas A&M’s home loss to Arkansas

Here’s what Texas A&M players Jace Carter & Eli Lawrence had to say after devastating loss to Arkansas

Texas A&M’s (15-11, 6-7 SEC) miserable SEC skid has continued, as the Arkansas Razorbacks (13-13, 4-9 SEC) have completed the sweep over the Maroon and White, taking game 2 in College Station 78-71.

Having dropped three games in a row now and their fifth Quad 3 loss the Aggies have some work to do to make sure they can reach their goal of making the NCAA Tournament. While the team is in a downward trend Coach Buzz Williams has instilled a culture of toughness and they never stop playing hard. Jace Carter and Eli Lawrence talked about how the game did not go their way but they will bounce back.

“It is over — now what? That is kind of how you have to look at it. None of us were raised to be woe is me. That is not how we were built.” – Carter

“I feel like we definitely played our game shots just ain’t really kind of fall out we 3 for 14 got to make free throws down the stretch definitely got to do that but we definitely played our game just got to be a little bit better” – Lawrence

Everything Buzz Williams had to say after Texas A&M’s home loss to Arkansas

Here’s what Texas A&M Head Coach Buzz Williams had to say after devastating loss to Arkansas

What a rollercoaster ride this Texas A&M basketball season has been to this point. The Aggies look exactly how they did at the beginning of the year, with their two top scorers having one of their worst combined shooting outputs of the season. Wade Taylor and Tyrece Radford couldn’t find the bucket tonight, only making eight buckets in 40 minutes. A&M is hanging on to a tournament bid by a thread, and this was really a must-win game to get them back on track.

Coach Buzz Williams started off the post-game exactly how it should have, with him taking responsibility for how the team has been playing for the past few weeks.

“At the end of the day I have to do better uh we did some good things the things that are really important to us we just didn’t do well enough, and the margin is invisible.”

How to watch: Texas A&M vs. Arkansas basketball game

Texas A&M will look to get back on track at home when the face Arkansas for the second time this season

Texas A&M (15-10, 6-6 SEC) will be back at home to face Arkansas (12-13, 3-9 SEC) on Tuesday at 6 p.m. CT.

After the Aggies looked to have turned things around after a big win over a top-ten Tennessee team, they dropped a heartbreaker to Vanderbilt followed by a blowout loss to No. 15 Alabama. Coach Buzz Williams is usually pretty good at steering his team back on track after a tough loss and they need a strong showing in the last six-game stretch before tournament play starts.

Arkansas is on their own two-game losing streak, but they are catching an A&M that either bad skid or is about to have one of those patented Buzz-fueled end-of-season turnarounds. Either way they are on the outside looking in just trying to play spoiler for the remaining team on the schedule

Buzz Williams speaks ahead of Texas A&M vs. Arkansas

Here’s what Texas A&M Head Coach Buzz Williams had to say ahead of the game against Arkansas

Texas A&M (15-10, 6-6 SEC) will be back at home to face Arkansas (12-13, 3-9 SEC) on Tuesday at 6 p.m. CT.

The Aggies are at a crossroads after dropping consecutive SEC games. However, their tougher nonconference schedule this season is keeping them on the bubble with six Quad 1 wins keeping them afloat.

Tuesday will be a great chance to get back on track and get some revenge after losing to Arkansas earlier this season. Coach Buzz Williams already knows what they need to do to make sure they are getting back to the win column.

“I would say that that whether it’s three or zero or 12 or four all the different varieties of ball guards they have they’re all really good at getting downhill and we have to keep them out of the paint and we have to defend without fouling.”

Best Photos: Texas A&M’s 100-75 road loss to No. 15 Alabama

Photos: Here are some of the best photos from Saturday’s game against Alabama

Texas A&M (15-10, 6-6 SEC) fell on the road 100-75 to a hot No. 15 Alabama (18-7, 10-2 SEC) on Saturday.

Alabama was favored to win this game and they have been virtually unbeatable at home. So, this loss shouldn’t really hurt them that much in the long run. However, after losing to Vanderbilt and then getting blown out by Bama, fans are starting to feel like they did earlier in the year.

Poor shot selection and a horrible shooting percentage overall gave the Tide way too many opportunities to go on runs resulting in back-to-back threes often. The Aggies still have a chance to make the NCAA tournament but with only six games remainingonly six games remaining until the SEC tournament they have to figure out a way to win a majority of these games.

Texas A&M will be back at Reed Arena on February 20 at 6 p.m. to face the Arkansas Razorbacks

Everything Buzz Williams had to say after big loss to No. 15 Alabama

Here’s what Texas A&M Head Coach Buzz Williams had to say after the road lost to No. 15 Alabama

Texas A&M (15-10, 6-6 SEC) fell on the road 100-75 to a hot No. 15 Alabama (18-7, 10-2 SEC) on Saturday.

Sometimes when a team is hot and you’re not you have to accept that loss and move on. Alabama came into this game as one of the top offensive teams in the nation, but also one of the worst defensive teams.

Unfortunately for the Aggies, they could not take advantage of the Tide on defensive, shooting 37% from the field and 17% from the three-point line. Alabama on the other hand shot a blistering 52% from the field and 43% from beyond the arc, include 18 3-pointers.

“Their offensive efficiency was too high they shot a lot of threes they made too many threes and then they offensive rebounded too many of the ones that they missed”
