The Texas A&M basketball season will open on the road in Orlando when the Aggies take on UCF on Monday, Nov. 4, in Addition Financial Arena.
A&M has another tough non-conference schedule highlighted by No. 14 Purdue and No. 15 Creighton, but first, Buzz’s experienced team has a talented UCF team they can’t look over, especially since it’s an away game. This type of schedule will pay dividends when it comes to prepping them for SEC play and the selection committee at the end of the season.
Williams took a note from Texas A&M Football head coach Mike Elko this offseason. He utilized the transfer portal, adding commitments from former Nebraska shooting guard CJ Welcher, former SMU guard Zhuric Phelps, and former Minnesota center Pharrel Payne.
However, nothing trumps the return of star guard Wade Taylor IV, who will join senior guard Manny Obaseki in the starting backcourt, which looks like one of the better guard combinations in the country.
Ahead of Monday’s season opener vs. UCF, Buzz Williams spoke to the media, previewing the roster and matchup before tipoff.
