Reed Arena is Tough on Non-Conference Foes:
Fourth-year Aggie head coach Buzz Williams has recorded a 25-2 record against non-conference opponents at Reed Arena with only losses at the hands of No. 8 Gonzaga and Oklahoma State in 2019-20. The Aggies have won 19 straight non-conference games at Reed Arena.
Milestones to Watch:
- Tyrece "Boots" Radford needs 21 points to reach 1,000 for his career (has 979). Teammate Dexter Dennis surpassed the 1,000-point plateau on Monday vs. ULM (has 1,002). The two graduates have combined to play in 204 collegiate games.
- With his next defensive rebound, Dennis will reach 400 for his career.
- Sophomore Wade Taylor IV's next free throw attempt will be the 100th of his career. Taylor needs two 3-pointers to reach 50 for his career. He needs three steals to reach 50 for his career.
- Friday's game will be the 60th game of Henry Coleman III's career (19 at Duke, 40 at Texas A&M), and the 40th of Manny Obaseki's career.
- Michigan State transfer Julius Marble needs nine points to reach 400 for his career.
Last Time Out | Aggies Cruise to 87-54 Win over ULM:
The Aggies dominated the long-range shooting on both ends of the court to bank an 87-54 victory over the ULM Warhawks on Nov. 7. Texas A&M hit 46.2% (12 of 23) from 3-point range while holding ULM to 10.0% (2 of 20) on the other end. Sophomore guard Wade Taylor IV led the long-range brigade with 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc enroute to a game-high 18 points. Junior forward Henry Coleman III added 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Three more Aggies hit double digits in the scoring column, including junior guard Hayden Hefner (12), graduate transfer guard Dexter Dennis (11) and sophomore guard Manny Obaseki (10).
Notes: The Aggies' 87-54 win marked the first time the team recorded 80-plus points in a season opener since its 82-53 victory over New Orleans in 2020 … The Maroon & White extended its streak to 22 consecutive season-opening wins … Buzz Williams is 4-0 in season-openers at Texas A&M and earned his 50th victory while at A&M. … The Aggies connected on 12 3-pointers, which was the most in more than 40 games dating back to the spring of 2021.
Last Meeting: Aggies Outlast Abilene Christian, 81-80, in Double Overtime
Andre Gordon scored 17 points, Tyrece Radford added 15 and Hassan Diarra hit a tightly-contested 3-pointer with 0.9 seconds left as Texas A&M slipped past Abilene Christian 81-80 in double overtime on Nov. 12, 2021. ACU's Reggie Miller made a 3-pointer to give the Wildcats a 78-75 lead with 2:01 to play in the second overtime. Gordon answered with a 3 on the other end and a layup by Airion Simmons gave a Wildcats an 80-78 advantage with 25 seconds remaining. Jackson missed a short jumper on the right side with eight seconds left but Henry Coleman III grabbed the offensive rebound and was fouled on the putback attempt. Coleman missed both free throws but the second went out of bounds off Abilene Christian with 5.9 seconds to go and Diarra made a step-back 3 to clinch the victory.
