After a rough weekend for Texas A&M basketball, they bounced back to get their season sweep against Oklahoma at Reed Arena, 75-68.
Wade Taylor IV looked off from downtown, but still had a swell performance on both ends of the floor, getting 12 points, three assists and three steals.
The biggest talk of the game for the Ags will be on offensive glass, with Texas A&M getting more offensive rebounds than Oklahoma getting total rebounds.
Coming into this game, there was one wild stat that will have Aggie basketball fans in full confidence with regard to making a case on why this Aggie basketball team could be destined for greatness.
Texas A&M basketball ranks No. 1 nationally in offensive rebounding
They talked the talk and walked the walk.
The Aggies had 21 offensive rebounds compared to Oklahoma's 19 total rebounds. Yeah, you read that right.
Sooner fans will probably want to look away when they see the total rebounding statistic, with the Aggies dominating the glass once again, 47-19. Sooner fans knew what to expect though, as it was this same second chance mentality by the Aggies that allowed for their comeback against Oklahoma back on Jan. 8.
Coming into the game, the Aggies rank No. 1 in offensive rebounds nationally with 16.5. The Ags also rank No. 7 in total rebounds.
Once again, it was a team effort on the offensive glass, with Pharrel Payne picking up his first double-double of the season. Payne finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds and looked unstoppable rebounding the basketball. Andersson Garcia, who's been dubbed the "Dominican Rodman," had the team high in rebounds, with 12. Garcia also finished with nine points on the night.
Henry Coleman III, who finished with 14 points and six rebounds, talked about the dominant rebounding and what it means to this team.
Texas A&M forward Henry Coleman on offensive rebounding: "It's a consistency thing. Lots of teams are good offensive rebounding teams, but they don't do it all the time. We have to go get it. We do it each and every day, so it allows us to do it in a game like this."

This was another spectacular rebounding game for the Aggies, and they'll be more to come later on in the season.
