Texas A&M secured a dominant 85-69 victory over No. 6 Tennessee on Saturday night, fueled by a standout performance from Tyrece Radford who scored 27 points, and Wade Taylor IV who added 25. This win marks the Aggies’ second victory over a top-10 team this season, following their triumph over then-No. 6 Kentucky in January.
The Aggies never trailed in the game and held a comfortable lead for most of the night, with Tennessee struggling offensively and only managing 69 points. Dalton Knecht led the Volunteers with 22 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Texas A&M’s strong performance.
Texas A&M has been on a hot streak lately, winning five of their last six games, showcasing their most consistent basketball of the season. However, they will face tough competition in their upcoming games against ranked opponents.
For Tennessee, the loss highlights the need to address their offensive struggles as they aim to compete for the SEC title against tough teams like South Carolina and Alabama.
Looking ahead, Tennessee will visit Arkansas next, while Texas A&M will travel to Vanderbilt in their next matchups. The Aggies will look to build on their recent success and continue their winning streak against strong competition in the SEC.
