As if you needed any more proof that Texas A&M has one heck of a coach in Bucky McMillan…
Buzz Williams’ furthest NCAA Tournament run in 6 years at Texas A&M was the Round of 32. It took him 5 years to get there.
Bucky McMillan just matched that in his first year at Texas A&M.
Last P5 head coach hired.
2 weeks late to the portal.
Had one player on his roster.
Only played 4 games at full strength.
His best player is out for the year.
… and yet Bucky McMillan and the Aggies are 13-3 and off to a 3-0 start in SEC play 📈
Bucky Ball. Believe in it.
Texas who…
1. Created the Longhorn Network which caused the 1st wave of realignment
2. Moved to the SEC, which caused the 2nd wave of realignment, which created unbalanced super conferences
is now upset because their tough schedule led to an unfavorable record.
I can’t believe I never get to watch Wade, Henry, Andy, etc. play basketball in an Aggie uniform again. Loved cheering for these guys the last few years.
Opposing offensive lines have not been called for holding against the Aggies since the second quarter against Bowling Green in Week 4. That’s now 30 straight quarters without a call. Last season this streak reached 10 quarters in SEC play

@BBQsnob Little gutted for them both. Not the way Oscar wants to win his first. Lando probably wants his second more now than his first. If they pitted Oscar first then you don’t have to reverse it at the end. Obv great overall for the team but still could’ve accomplished it differently.
