Taylor IV Earns Stadium All-America Honors

Texas A&M guard Wade Taylor IV's standout sophomore campaign was recognized with his inclusion on Stadium.com's College Basketball All-America Third Team compiled by Stadium Basketball Insider Jeff Goodman on Monday.
 
Taylor IV, Dallas, Texas, averaged 16.3 points, which ranked in the top 20 among Power 5 conference guards, while leading the SEC in free throws made with 152 and FT percentage with an 86.9 success rate at the line. Taylor dished out 126 assists and made 56 steals to help lead the Aggies to a record-setting regular season that included winning 15 conference games for the first time in 100 years and tallying their first undefeated conference home state in more than 40 years.
 
The Aggies head into this week's SEC Tournament in Nashville, Tennessee, as the No. 2 seed with a 23-8 overall record and a 15-3 worksheet in league play. The Aggies earned a "double-bye" and play either No. 7 seed Auburn or No. 10 Arkansas at 6 p.m. on Friday at Bridgestone Arena.
