Texas A&M has extended their early season winning streak to four after beating Southern at Reed Arena. Now 4-1 l, A&M will enter the gauntlet of their nonconference schedule.
In their only game last week, the Aggies came out of the gate sluggish against the Southern Jaguars. They went into halftime down by 14, shooting horribly, and missing free throws. A refocused A&M team would outscore the Jaguars 46-15 in the second half to win comfortably and have a short break before the Players Era Festival Tournament.
There was no movement in the top five spots with all teams remaining undefeated, but three teams did see big drops. Purdue, Creighton, and Arizona all dropped six spots while Texas A&M moved up two to No. 20 on Monday morning.
