Instant reaction to Texas A&M basketball’s win 92-54 over Abilene Christian

Texas A&M will go into SEC play on a six-game winning streak after defeating ACU 92-54 at Reed Arena

Texas A&M (11-2) extends its winning streak to six after beating Abilene Christian (8-6) at Reed Arena Saturday afternoon.

The initial half of this contest resembled a fast-paced track meet between two highly athletic teams.

In contrast to their start against HCU last week, Texas A&M showcased improved efficiency, shooting over 60% from the field, with CJ Wilcher scoring 12 points and sinking four three-pointers to top all scorers in the first half. The defense also excelled, forcing 12 turnovers and limiting the opposition to just 11 successful shots, resulting in a 48-29 lead at halftime.

A&M slowed the pace just a little bit in the second half, but the defense stayed relentless. Wade Taylor IV is back in the lineup and picked up his offensive output, scoring double digits in the half and finishing his first double-double. The Maroon & White cruised to a 92-54 victory in which all 12 players scored at least once.

GAME NOTES:

  • Wade Taylor’s 15 points and 10 assists gave him his first career double-double
  • Texas A&M outrebounded ACU 41-21
  • 58.5% FG / 40% 3PT / 73.3% FT

Note: Wade Taylor has passed Vernon Smith for second place in Texas A&M basketball’s all-time scoring list and is now 212 points away from Bernard King as the program’s all-time leading scorer.

Texas A&M will start conference play against the Texas Longhorns at Reed Arena on Jan. 4 at 7:00 p.m. CST. The game can be watched on the SEC Network.

Texas A&M Basketball vs Abilene Christian: Channel, time, streaming info

Watch Texas A&M vs Abilene Christian game today. Here’s how to watch, time, TV schedule, live streaming info, and game odds.

Saturday afternoon will be No. 13 Texas A&M’s last nonconference game before they hit the gauntlet that will be SEC play. After beating HCU last week, they moved to 10-2 in the season and extended their winning streak to six.

The Aggies and Abilene Christian have faced each other just seven times, with A&M winning all three encounters. The closest contest occurred in 2021 when ACU pushed A&M to double overtime, ultimately losing 81-80 at Reed Arena.

This season, the Wildcats have participated in only one Quad game against Baylor, suffering an 88-57 defeat. Given the Aggies’ strong performance lately, it seems unlikely that ACU will secure a victory.

Last week, after a slow start and without Wade Taylor, IV, A&M was able to kick it into high gear in the second half for a 32-point win. Coach Buzz Williams is off to one of his better starts since he is at A&M, and a win on Saturday will give him good momentum before starting conference play.

Below is all the information on how to follow the game.

UGA basketball loses to Texas A&M on last second shot

The Georgia Bulldogs fought hard, but lost a heartbreaker in their SEC opener against the Texas A&M Aggies

The Georgia Bulldogs fought hard, but lost a heartbreaker in their SEC opener against the Texas A&M Aggies. Georgia took their first lead of the game after Kario Oquendo made a free throw with five seconds left.

Then, Texas A&M guard Marcus Williams dribbled up the court and hit a three-pointer with under one second remaining. Additional time was added to the clock, but Georgia was unable to respond to Williams’ last second shot.

The win moves Texas A&M to 12-2. Georgia basketball falls to 5-9 on the season. Head coach Tom Crean and Georgia showed resilience to battle back after trailing by 12 at halftime. The Dawgs outscored the Aggies 45-35 in the second half, but it was not enough.

Kario Oquendo scored 21 points to lead UGA in scoring. Noah Baumann, a USC transfer, added 19 points for the Dawgs. Texas A&M guard Henry Coleman III shot efficiently on his way to a team-high 23 points.
