What They’re Saying
“I think this A&M program, right now at least, extends more, pressures more. They are very athletic. They play really hard, Billy’s team did too of course, but I think their ability to turn you over and block shots on the interior, being more disruptive. I think that’s the biggest change from how these teams were playing from last year to this year.” – Head Coach Mike White
“Their center (Josh) Nebo is really good at blocking shots so our coaches are telling us to drive and attack him. Give him shot fakes and get him in foul trouble early.” – Forward Keyontae Johnson
"They’re holding teams to like 50 or 60 points a game. They’re doing pretty well. They stay connected. It’s pretty unorthodox the way they play, and I think that gives some teams trouble.” - Forward Kerry Blackshear Jr.
