Over the years, coach Buzz Williams has been criticized for consistency issues with the Texas A&M basketball team. However, this season, after a tough non-conference schedule, they have embraced who they are as a team, and it shows in every single game.
The SEC is going to be a gauntlet, and 20-point wins will be the exception rather than the rule. Buzz understands this, and while it’s great for morale, he knows his team needs to stay grounded to be successful in the long run.
“I think it’ll be rare. I wasn’t saying any of that from a motivational standpoint.”
“That’s how thin the margin is. It shows how elite the league has been going into one. I think this will be a rarity.”
He also praised one of the game’s unsung heroes, Aggie mainstay Hayden Hefner, who has made some notable plays this season and hit a few big shots in Saturday’s win.
“(Hefner) is accepting. He doesn’t have to be here. He has already graduated. He’s here because he cares.”
“He cares about our group and has a burning desire to have success. … His nature is so giving.”
Below, you can watch the entire post-game conference.
