The Departing Stars
This season, Texas A&M will be without some of their key departing players. They will rely on a few new stars to help fill the gaps.
Texas A&M’s leading scorer from last season, Tyler Davis has graduated and gone to the NBA. They will also be without Robert Williams, who was drafted in the first round of the NBA draft by the Boston Celtics These two players were a big part of what made Texas A&M a top-10 team last season.
The Aggies do have some talented players returning. Their leading scorer from last season, TJ Starks, is back for his junior year. He will be joined by fellow junior Savion Flagg and senior Admon Gilder These three players will be looked to for leadership on and off the court.
Texas A&M also has some talented newcomers that will help the team this season. The Aggies have added five-star recruit big man Hassan Diarra and four-star recruit small forward Jay Jay Chandler. These two recruits will add some much-needed size and athleticism to the team.
The Aggies are still a talented team despite the departures of Davis and Williams. With a mix of experienced returners and talented newcomers, Texas A&M should still be a force to be reckoned with in the SEC this season.
The Team’s Strengths
This season, the Texas A&M Basketball team will be looking to build on their success from last year. The team made it to the NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen before losing to eventual National Champion Virginia. But with nearly everyone from that team returning this season, the Aggies are poised to have another strong year.
One of the team’s strengths will be their experience. They have a lot of upperclassmen who have been through the rigors of a long college Basketball season and know what it takes to be successful. Another strength is their size. They have several players who are 6’10” or taller, which allows them to compete with some of the taller teams in the country.
The Aggies will also benefit from having a talented group of newcomers joining the team this season. Some of these freshmen were highly recruited and are expected to make an immediate impact.
With all of this talent and experience, the Texas A&M basketball team has high expectations for this season. They are expecting to make it back to the NCAA tournament and perhaps even make a run at the national title.
The Team’s Weaknesses
The Texas A&M Basketball team is coming off a disappointing season in which they failed to make the NCAA tournament This year, the team will be looking to rebound and return to the tournament. However, there are some areas of concern that could prevent them from doing so.
One area of concern is the team’s lack of experience. The Aggies will have just two seniors on their roster, and no players who have significant experience playing in the NCAA tournament This could prove to be a problem when they face teams with more experience in big games.
Another concern is the team’s shooting. Last season, the Aggies shot just 41 percent from the field and 31 percent from three-point range If they want to make a run at the NCAA Tournament this season, they will need to improve those numbers.
The Texas A&M basketball team has some work to do if they want to return to the NCAA Tournament this season. If they can address their weaknesses, they should be able to make a run at an NCAA berth.
The Key Games of the Season
As the non-Conference Schedule comes to a close, we now have a better idea of what to expect from this young Texas A&M basketball team The Aggies have an overall record of 7-3, with impressive wins over USC and Penn State They also have losses to good teams in Arizona and Providence. Let’s take a look at some of the key games that will determine how successful this season is.
January 3rd vs Kentucky: This is the first big SEC test for the Aggies. Kentucky is always a tough matchup, and this game will be played in Lexington. A win here would be a huge confidence booster for the team.
January 8th vs Auburn: Auburn is another tough SEC team, but this game will be played at home in College Station. The Aggies will need to take advantage of their home court advantage and come out with a win.
February 1st vs LSU: LSU is one of the best teams in the SEC, and they will be coming to College Station for this matchup. The Aggies will need to play their best basketball of the season to come out with a win against LSU.
These are just some of the key games that will determine how successful the Texas A&M basketball team is this season. If they can come out with wins in these games, they will have a chance to compete for an SEC title and make a run in the NCAA tournament
The Predicted Record
This season, the Texas A&M basketball team is expected to have a record of 18-13. This means that they are predicted to win eighteen games and lose thirteen. This is a significant improvement from last season’s record of 14-17. The team has made some changes that should help them be more successful this year.
The NCAA Tournament Chances
Entering the season, Texas A&M is not being talked about as a possible National Championship contender. The team is good, but there are other squads that are being discussed more prominently as possible Final Four participants. Despite this fact, the Aggies have a chance to make some noise in the NCAA Tournament this season. Let’s take a look at what to expect from Texas A&M basketball this season.
The SEC tournament Chances
March Madness is rapidly approaching and college basketball fans are starting to fill out their brackets. But, before the NCAA Tournament there is still the SEC Tournament The format has changed a bit this year, but Texas A&M is still in the running. Here’s a breakdown of the SEC Tournament chances for the Aggies.
The NIT Chances
The NIT Chances
As the product on the court has improved, the Aggies’ chances of an at-large berth in the NCAA tournament have increased. But what about the National Invitation Tournament?
For those who don’t know, the NIT is college basketball’s second-tier postseason tournament. It’s a 64-team event (32 automatic qualifiers, 32 at-large) that culminates with a Championship game at Madison Square Garden in New York City
To be frank, Texas A&M’s chances of receiving an at-large bid to the NIT are slim. But there is a scenario in which the Aggies could play their way into contention.
The Bottom Line
The Texas A&M Basketball team is coming off a disappointing season in which they finished with a record of 14-18 (6-12 in SEC play). They will look to improve upon that record this season, but it will be a tall task. The Aggies have lost their top two scorers from last season (Tyler Davis and DJ Hogg) and their best player, Admon Gilder, is out for the year with a blood clot in his leg. Despite all of these losses, the Aggies do have some talent on their roster. They will be led by junior guard T.J. Starks, who averaged 16 points per game last season. Other key players for the Aggies include senior forward Savion Flagg and junior guard Wendell Mitchell. If the Aggies can get production from these three players, they have a chance to surprise some people and compete for an NCAA tournament berth.
