After starting the season 0-1, losing to an unranked UCF team, Texas A&M has won three games in a row, averaging 87 points. They are now 3-1, with their best game being a 14-point victory over Ohio State.
A&M started the week by blowing out Lamar 97-71 before hosting No. 21 Buckeyes at Reed Arena on Friday night. They didn’t have the best night from the field, but they played pressure defense and aggressive offense, leading to 40 free throw attempts.
Kansas remained in the top spot, with Alabama falling to No. 7 and Arizona had the biggest drop down 9 down to No. 17. The Aggies’ win over Ohio State knocked the Buckeyes out of the top 25 and A&M still ranked No. 23 for the second consecutive week.
