Texas A&M HC Buzz Williams & senior PF Henry Coleman III comment on the arrest of Tyrece Radford

Aggies men’s basketball head coach Buzz Williams and senior power forward Henry Coleman III addressed the Friday arrest of Tyrece Radford.

Texas A&M graduate student guard Tyrece “Boots” Radford was arrested on Friday morning for allegedly evading police in December.

Aggies men’s basketball head coach Buzz Williams commented on the news during a press conference on Friday afternoon.

“I am not supposed to talk about anything legal, but I am completely aware of every single thing that is going on and have been,” Williams said. “I absolutely love Boots. I love his mom. I love his dad. I love his stepmom. I think in the end, it will all be apparent what has transpired. I have learned a lot from it.”

Senior power forward Henry Coleman III also shared his thoughts at the press conference.

“He is an unbelievable person. He is the most caring person that I think I have been around. A lot of people do not know his story, where he grew up, how he grew up,” Coleman said. “For him to make it here and have the success – not only on the floor but off the floor – that he has been able to do. He has been able to get two degrees and is trying to get a third one right now. He started The Rece Way Foundation, where he gives books, backpacks and school supplies to kids in the community.

“I do not see a lot of people doing that in college athletics. I would think he is one of the people at the forefront of it and somebody who I always want to have around in my corner.”

Five things Texas A&M needs to accomplish to rebound from it’s midseason slump

Amid the rare bye week, Texas A&M and head coach Buzz Williams have plenty of issues to fix before facing the Florida Gators on Saturday.

Texas A&M (12-8, 3-4 SEC) has failed to live up to the towering preseason expectations bestowed upon them, including a No. 15 AP ranking due to the projected four returning starters, including senior forward Julius Marble, who, due what has been called a “University process” has yet to play in a single game this season.

Since entering conference play last month, the Aggies failed to add to their two-game win streak, falling to the red-hot Ole Miss Rebels 71-68 last Saturday after leading by as much as seven points with just two minutes remaining in the second half. This week, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi placed the Aggies on the bubble for the first time this season, sending a direct message to head coach Buzz Williams from an urgency standpoint.

Regression-wise, Texas A&M has shot an anemic 39% from the field, ranking 343rd nationally and 344th in 3-point field goal percentage at 26.7%. Credit to GigEm247’s Carter Karels for his deep dive into A&M’s statistical struggles, specifically noting senior guard Tyrece Radford’s lack of consistency in the Aggies’ losses when he plays, averaging an abysmal 26% from the field and 15%(!) from 3-point range.

As the No. 1-ranked offensive rebounding team in the nation, an abundance of second chance opportunities have been gifted, but the execution has remained inept.

To aid star point Wade Taylor IV, who is averaging a heroic 28 points in his last five contests, changes need to be made; as impossible as that sounds, he is already 20 games in. Here are five ways head coach Buzz Williams can help the Texas A&M rebound in the second half of the 2023-2024 season.

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

The Aggies will host the Ole Miss Rebels at Reed Arena looking for their third straight SEC win

Texas A&M (13-7, 3-3 SEC) will return to Reed Arena to face the Ole Miss Rebels (16-3, 3-3 SEC) on Saturday at 7:30 PM CST.

The Aggies are rolling but they aren’t on a roll just yet. They have ground out some tough games behind poor shooting nights to pull even in SEC play. Their calling card for the entire season has been offensive rebounding and aggressive defense.

The combo of these two has allowed them to claw their way back into numerous games when it looked like they might have been dead in the water. If they want to pull above, finally. Sitting at .500 in conference play, the Aggies must start hitting their open shots at a more consistent rate to gain momentum going forward. While their hard-nosed play has worked the past few weeks, shooting below 30% is not a sustainable way to make a deep run late in the season.

Ole Miss has been playing solid basketball all season long but started to stumble once they entered league play. Similar to the Aggies, it’s been a bit of a mixed bag, sometimes looking good and scratching your head at other times. However, when they are on, they can put up a ton of points and have four players that average double digits, with three of them being in the Top 15 scoring. They also shoot close to 40% from the three-point line and will look to take advantage the Aggies’ style of play on that side of the ball.

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.

Texas A&M Basketball projected as a Top 10 seed in newest NCAA Bracketology update

Texas A&M Basketball has received a Top 10 seed prediction in ESPN’s newest bracketology update.

Texas A&M Basketball (12-7, 3-3 SEC) has had an interesting start to the 2023-2024 season, relying on rebounding and shutdown (for the most part) defense, while the Aggies have shot an underwhelming 39% from the field, 26.5% from beyond the air, and even more surprisingly, just 70% from the free throw line.

However, A&M has now won two in a row after a 1-3 start in SEC play and has a chance to move up the standings further after hosting Ole Miss (16-3, 3-3) on Saturday night. Coming off one of the toughest non-conference in the country, the Aggies fared quite well, already earning four Quad 1 victories, including wins over No. 6 Kentucky and the 24th-ranked Iowa State Cyclones.

This week, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi released his newest bracket update, predicting that if the Aggies continue their winning ways through SEC play, a Top 10 seed is in their future, and are currently positioned as an 8-seed taking on 9-seed Villanova in the Midwest bracket.

Senior forward Julius Marble still has yet to play in a single game this season as he continues to deal with a cryptic “University process,” providing an opening for sophomore forward Solomon Washington to continue improving in his absence.

‘Their analytics offensively are really really good… so we’ll have our hands full’ Buzz Williams speaks ahead of Texas A&M vs. Missouri

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

Texas A&M (13-7, 3-3 SEC) will be back in Reed Arena to face the Ole Miss Rebels (16-3, 3-3 SEC) on Saturday at 7:30 PM CST.

The Aggies are still having some scoring issues but are making up for it by doing all the dirty work defensively to keep games close. Winning three of the last four SEC games, if this group can find consistency on offense outside of Wade Taylor IV, they’ll be right back in the thick of things. One thing that is evident is that this group responds well to head coach Buzz Williams, instilling trust in him to get them back on track.

While previewing the Ole Miss game Buzz started to get a little emotional when the question came up about the relationship he has with the guys on his team.

” I love them and I hope they make every basket and if they don’t I love them and I want them to do good cuz it’s important to them and I want to do good uh because it’s important to all of us”

” I want to have a real relationship with those in our group and uh someday we’re not going to be playing in coaching and I want them to know I always told them the truth and that I was always trying to help them improve their life and can we use ball to be a microcosm of life”

Watch: Top plays from Texas A&M’s 63-57 win vs. Missouri

Check out the highlights from the Aggies second straight SEC win with a victory over the Missouri Tigers

Texas A&M is not playing the greatest offensive basketball right now, but they have found a way to win their last 3 of 4 games. What looked to be a disastrous 1-3 start to SEC play has now evened out for the Aggies, who sit at 3-3 with a chance to make a run.

I’m unsure if A&M will ever shoot about 40% at any point this season, even while getting good looks. With as many shots as they do miss them, being the top offensive rebounding team in the nation gives them plenty of second-chance opportunities and that has been the saving grace to keep them on most of the games this year.

A complete team effort on the defensive side of the ball against the Missouri Tigers led to double-digit turnovers and aggressive play in the paint gave the Aggies multiple trips to the free-throw line which ultimately made the difference in the game. Below, you can check out some of the best plays from the 63-57 win over Missouri at Reed Arena.

‘I’m just glad we won’ Everything Buzz Williams had to say after the win over Missouri

Here’s what Texas A&M Head Coach Buzz Williams had to say after the win at home over Missouri.

Texas A&M (12-7, 3-3 SEC) wins second straight Reed Arena to keep the Missouri Tigers (8-11, 0-6 SEC) winless in SEC play.

Sometimes, everything doesn’t go your way, but the outcome can still be good. That was the lesson I learned from watching the Aggies get past a tough but bad Missouri team at Reed Arena. Shooting has been an issue this year and being 19 games in I don’t expect much to change. Tuesday night was no different as they struggled from the field but made up for it at the free-throw line. Coach Buzz Williams spoke on the importance of getting to the line and taking advantage of those opportunities.

“I thought it was really important and um we’ve tried to make even a more concerted effort over the last couple of weeks with some of the deficiencies we’ve had how can we hurry up and get to the bonus”

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

Texas A&M will stay home to take on the Ole Miss Rebels on January 27 at 7:30 PM CST in Reed Arena.

‘There is never a panic within this program or this team’ Coleman III and Garcia speak after home win over Missouri

Here’s what Texas A&M players Henry Coleman III and Anderson Garcia had to say after the win over Missouri

Texas A&M (12-7, 3-3 SEC) won its second straight inside Reed Arena to keep the Missouri Tigers (8-11, 0-6 SEC) winless in SEC play.

It was absurdly ugly at times, but the Aggies grinded out a home victory to move to .500 in SEC play. Another night of miss after miss led to a below 30% shooting night, but foul after foul led to a 27-37 showing from the stripe and put the Tigers’ best players in foul trouble early. Henry Coleman III talked post-game about the aggressive Missouri plays defense and the game plan to take advantage of their scrappiness.

” they’re a scrappy team, they’re a really good defensive team. I would say still we know they’re very aggressive so coach just said be strong with the ball try to play off two feet and get downhill and made good decision and I think that’s what we did all night”

Best Photos: Texas A&M’s 73-69 road win over LSU

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

Texas A&M (11-7, 2-3 SEC) evens the series at one apiece with a win on the road over the LSU Tigers (11-7, 3-2 SEC) on Saturday afternoon.

Outside of the Kentucky victory, we have not seen the Aggies put together a complete game since SEC play began. Well, their win over LSU was as closer to what we witnessed against the Wildcats compared to the Razorbacks. Wade Taylor IV spent the majority of his time on the bench in foul trouble, but the rest of the team answered the call keeping the game in reach.

Jace Carter and Tyrece Radford were able to hit some big shots in key moments until Taylor reentered the game in the second half. He came in blazing hot, scoring a majority of the points to start the frame. Two of the last three games look much more like a Buzz Williams coached team. Sitting at 2-3 in conference play the Aggies are in a good position to make a run if they can keep themselves in play for the SEC and NCAA tournaments.

Texas A&M will return home on January 23 to take on the Missouri Tigers at 8:00 PM CST in Reed Arena.

‘I know we have our best chance when we follow the recipe’ Everything Buzz Williams had to say after the win over LSU

Here’s what Texas A&M Head Coach Buzz Williams had to say after the win in Baton Rogue.

Texas A&M (11-7, 2-3 SEC) evens the series at one apiece with a win on the road over the LSU Tigers (11-7, 3-2 SEC) on Saturday afternoon.

I’m not sure what to think about this Texas A&M team. They showed today that even if Wade Taylor IV misses half the game because of foul trouble, the rest of the team can keep it together.

It wasn’t perfect as they struggled from the charity stripe, going 11-20, but they dominated in second-chance points with an astounding 27-0 advantage. Everyone stepped up this game, and hopefully, they can lean on the experience from this contest to keep marching in the correct direction.

Rebounding was the key difference in this game. The disparity in the second-chance points is a huge takeaway between the first meeting and the second. After the game, coach Buzz Williams spent a lot of time reviewing how much emphasis he put on getting boards when coming to the Maravich Assembly Center.

“They beat us on the glass at their place they had 14 offensive rebounds we had 13. They beat us on the defensive glass they beat

us yeah and that hadn’t been happening at all so today we beat them we beat them on the offensive glass 21 to 6 they beat us on the defensive glass 28 to 27 but we offensive rebounded 43% of our misses and we defensive rebounded 82% “
