The Texas A&M Aggies fell short against Alabama, but Bucky McMillan is warning the SEC on how great they really are, especially on the road against the SEC's best.
And the Aggies' best was on display in every way. Rashaun Agee showed off his range from outside and proved he has the unselfish ability to find his teammates. Rylan Griffen is looking like one of the steals of the SEC, and Marcus Hill is coming out of nowhere, making shots from wherever he wants to.
Last but not least, A&M's opponents are feeling the effect of Bucky Ball. Alabama had to play tooth and nail to get every point in their 100-97 victory tonight. Based on how the Aggies have played in road games this season, McMillan says he's not worried.
Bucky McMillan assures Texas A&M's road performances is a solid look on their resume
After the game, McMillan caught up with Andrew Monaco and Dr. John Thornton on the Texas A&M Sports Network. McMillan says their road resume is a reason for fans to have faith.
"We played five games on the road in this league. We won at Texas. We won at Georgia. We won at Auburn. We lost in double overtime to Tennessee and we were [a] shot away right here from being in another OT game. So, that tells you, if you can do that on the road, good things can happen. "Bucky McMillan
Even though they were losses, the road games against Alabama and Tennessee tell you all you need to know about this team. They had zero expectations going into this season, and McMillan is already changing Texas A&M basketball culture.
They also have plenty of Quad 1 opportunities, like this upcoming weekend. Aggies fans have no excuse not to be packed at Reed Arena on Saturday night. At home against the defending champs is every reason to see this team for what it is.
