From tipoff to the final buzzer, the Florida Gators handled the Texas A&M Aggies in Saturday’s late-night hoops action at Reed Arena.
The first blackout game of the season was not enough for the Aggies to power past the No. 17-ranked Gators in College Station. Texas A&M had tremendous trouble shooting, especially early in the contest, going 0-of-23 to begin the game.
With head coach Bucky McMillan looking on, ‘Bucky Ball’ was struggling against a tough Florida defense. Entering Saturday’s matchup against Florida, Texas A&M ranked as the No. 3 scoring offense in the country, but that changed quickly against the Gators’ suffocating defensive scheme.
Not all is lost for the 2025-2026 season, however. In his first year at the helm, McMillan has the Aggies competing at the top of the Southeastern Conference, after being picked to finish 13th in the preseason. For Texas A&M to reach postseason play, the team must find ways to shoot consistently and establish dominance in the paint against opposing squads, which they struggled to do in the 86-67 loss against Florida.
