Buzz Williams’ Post-Game Press Conference after Texas A&M falls to Mississippi State 69-62
Texas A&M (21-8, 13-3 SEC) dropped their first game in three weeks of SEC play, falling to Mississippi State on the road 69-62 in a game that saw the Aggies rendered scoreless from the field in almost 13 minutes in the second half in one of their worst offensive showings all season.
Nevertheless, sophomore guard Wade Taylor IV led the team and the game with 21 points while shooting 4-7 from 3-point land, paired with two 11 points performances from forwards Henry Coleman III and Andersson Garcia. As a team, the Aggies shot 39% from the field, 36% from deep, and went 20-26 (76%) from the free throw line.
Defensively, Texas A&M did enough to earn a win if the offense wasn’t so unstable in the second half, as the Bulldogs only shot 14% (3-21) from three while matching the Aggies in rebounds with 31 each. Now two games behind Alabama for first place in the conference, the focus is back to winning out before the SEC Tournament to gain as much momentum as possible.
After the game, Head coach Buzz Williams’ spoke to the media to reflect on the loss, and just what went wrong offensively for the Maroon and White on Saturday afternoon. Here is what Buzz had to say.
