Bucky McMillan and Texas A&M Basketball take the court again tomorrow night at Reed Arena against the Delta Devils of Mississippi Valley State. The Aggies are looking for their fifth win of the season while the Delta Devils are looking for their second.
The Aggies are coming into the game averaging 89 points per game so far this season. They currently have four players averaging double digits in scoring, led by Ruben Dominguez with 14.8 points per game. Marcus Hill is the team's second leading scorer with 12.5 per game and Rylan Griffen and Rashaun Agee both have 11.2 points per game.
Leading the rebounding effort for the Aggies is Rashaun Agee with 6.8 rebounds per game while Rylan Griffen leads the team with 3.8 assists per game. Josh Holloway is right behind Griffen with 3.7 assists per game himself.

The Aggies will be looking to continue their hot shooting from Friday night while trying to clamp down on perimeter shooting on the defensive end. In their last three games, opponents have averaged 49% shooting beyond the arc against the Aggies. Getting that number down in the mid-30's will be the key to the Aggies defensive success this season.
This is a game that the Aggies should easily handle tomorrow night. Mississippi Valley State is ranked by Ken Pomeroy as the worst team in NCAA Division 1 basketball. They have not even beaten a division 1 team so far this season. Two players to look out for on the Delta Devils are Michael James and Daniel Mayfield who both average over 15 points per game.
Hopefully the Aggies can handle their business tomorrow night before they travel to Tampa for a matchup with Florida State on Friday. Check back tomorrow night for my instant reaction and analysis of the game.
