Texas A&M is merely a few weeks away from the start of the 2022-2023 College Basketball season, getting ready for their exhibition game against Texas A&M-Kingsville on Nov. 4th, while their season offically opens on Nov. 7th against Lousiania Monroe at Reed Arena.
On Wednesday, head coach Buzz Williams, senior point guard Tyrece Radford, and junior forward Henry Coleman represented the Aggies at SEC Media Days in Birmingham, Alabama., where a flurry of questions were asked surrounding the expectations for the team this season after their 27-13 finish and appearance in the NIT title game in 2021, and how the team will deal with the loss of star guard Quenton Jackson, who departed for the NBA at seasons end.

“We’ll miss who he is. We’ll miss his person. We’ll miss his competitive character. We’ll, for sure, miss his speed and his skill. I thought over the last month of the season, he was one of the better perimeter players in the country. He was a big part of what we were doing.”
