BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M men's basketball team hosts the Wofford Terriers from the Southern Conference in a 1 p.m. matchup on Tueday, Dec. 20 at Reed Arena.
  • The two teams have met once previously with the Aggies taking a hard-fought 70-52 win at Reed Arena on Dec. 21, 2020.
  • The Terriers streaked to a 9-0 advantage and led by as many as 12 at 15-3 at 16:00 mark of the first half. The Aggies' first lead of the game came at the 3:18 mark of the first stanza. 
  • Senior Andre Gordon, the only current player remaining from the 2020-21 Aggies, was a perfect 4-of-4 from the field on his way to nine points and also chipped in four rebounds in 34 minutes of action in the victory.
 
ONE OF A KIND:

Graduate G Tyrece Radford is the NCAA's only 6-foot-2 or shorter active player with more 1,000 points and 600 rebounds.
  • In fact, Radford is just the 30th 6-foot-2 or shorter NCAA basketball player to reach the historic plateau since 1996-97.
  • Also closing in on the 1,000 point / 600 rebound plateau is fellow graduate G Dexter Dennis, who has already eclipsed the 1,000-point level (1,071) and needs four boards to reach 600 for his career. Among active 6-foot-5 or shorter players, 11 have surpassed the 1,000/600 plateaus.
 
TRENDS & STREAKS:
  • The Aggies have posted double-digit rebounding advantages in the past two games vs. Oregon State (39-25) and Memphis (37-26) after being out-rebounded in four of the previous five contests.
  • After having more personal fouls than their opponents in seven of their first eight games, the Aggies committed fewer fouls than their foes in the past two games (8-to-19 vs. Oregon State and 22-to-27 vs. Memphis).
  • The Aggies lead the SEC and rank in the top 10 nationally in free throws attempted and made. The Aggies are averaging 20.0-27.3 FTM-FTA per game. Tyrece Radford ranks No. 3 in the SEC in FTs made (51) and Wade Taylor IV is right behind at No. 4 with 49.
  • The Aggies average 9.0 steals per game, which ranks No. 5 in the SEC / No. 41 nationally. Taylor IV has been the Aggies' most active thief with an average of 2.4 steals per game, which ties for No. 25 nationally/No. 5 SEC.
  • Taylor has been a giver as well as a taker over the last five games with an average of 5.6 assists
  • The Aggies have had the same or fewer turnovers than their opponents in nine of 10 games in 2022-23, including a season-low effort of nine twice.
  • Texas A&M is averaging over four fewer turnovers per game than its opponents this season (4.5), which ranks No. 4 in the SEC / No. 23 nationally.
  • The Aggies rank No. 2 in the SEC in bench points with an average of 29.1 points from non-starters per game. Sophomore G Manny Obaseki is the Aggies' leader with 74 bench points.
