Texas A&M Keeps Rolling, Blows Past Georgia in Statement SEC Road Win
If you haven’t been paying attention to Texas A&M basketball, now’s the time to tune in. The Aggies are making serious noise in the SEC, and after Saturday’s 92-77 win at Georgia, it’s getting harder to ignore what’s happening in College Station.
This wasn’t just another conference win - it was Texas A&M’s third straight double-digit SEC victory. The Aggies came out swinging, opening the game on a jaw-dropping 22-2 run.
Georgia, to its credit, battled back and even cut the lead to two at one point. But A&M showed poise, closing the game on a 23-10 run to slam the door shut.
At 17-4 overall and sitting atop the SEC standings at 7-1, the Aggies are quietly building one of the most impressive résumés in the country. And yet, somehow, they’ve been left out of the AP Top 25 all season. That may not last much longer.
A New Era, A Fast Start
This season marked the beginning of the Bucky McMillan era in College Station, and the early returns are impressive. McMillan, who took over after Buzz Williams left for Maryland, inherited a roster that was essentially a blank slate.
According to KenPom, Texas A&M ranks No. 339 in Division I in minutes continuity - just 0.6%. Translation: this is a brand-new team.
But you wouldn’t know it by watching them play.
McMillan has quickly molded this group into one of the most explosive offenses in the country. The Aggies came into Saturday ranked sixth nationally in scoring at 91.8 points per game, and they’ve done it with depth and balance. Five active players are averaging double figures, and they’re getting contributions from all over the map - both literally and figuratively.
Veteran Transfers Leading the Way
At the center of it all is Rashaun Agee, a seventh-year senior who’s been through just about everything college basketball can throw at a player. Originally part of the 2019 recruiting class, Agee is averaging 13.7 points per game and brings a steadying presence to a team full of new faces.
And he’s not alone. This roster is a who’s who of power conference and international experience.
- Rylan Griffen, a senior guard and sharpshooter hitting nearly 45% from deep, came to A&M via Kansas after starting his college career at Alabama.
- Pop Isaacs, now coming off the bench, returned to College Station after a junior season at Creighton.
He originally played his first two seasons for the Aggies.
- Marcus Hill took the JUCO route before landing at NC State last season, where he started 25 games.
He’s brought toughness and versatility to the backcourt.
- Ruben Dominguez, a 22-year-old guard with professional experience in Spain’s Liga ACB, adds a layer of international savvy that most college teams simply don’t have.
This isn’t just a team loaded with talent - it’s a group that’s been battle-tested across some of the toughest environments college basketball has to offer.
The Road Ahead
Texas A&M’s only blemish in conference play so far? A double-overtime thriller at Tennessee that could’ve gone either way.
Since then, the Aggies have rattled off four straight wins, tied with Auburn for the longest active streak in the SEC. And they’re not just winning - they’re winning by an average margin of 15.5 points.
That kind of dominance doesn’t go unnoticed for long.
The Aggies’ upcoming schedule will be their biggest test yet. Three of their next four games are against ranked opponents, including road trips to No.
23 Alabama and No. 18 Vanderbilt.
Sandwiched in between is a marquee home matchup against the defending national champions, No. 19 Florida.
It’s a stretch that could define Texas A&M’s season - and finally force the rest of the country to take them seriously.
Final Word
Saturday’s win in Athens was more than just another tally in the win column. It was a message. Texas A&M is for real, and they’re not just trying to compete in the SEC - they’re trying to win it.
With a veteran core, a dynamic offense, and a coach who’s already proven he can build something special from scratch, the Aggies are poised to keep climbing. If they keep this up, the Top 25 won’t just be calling - it’ll be clearing a spot.
