5 Thoughts: No. 21 Texas A&M 89, DePaul 64

No. 21 Texas A&M savored every minute of its return to Reed Arena Wednesday night with an efficient dismantling of a struggling DePaul squad 89-64.

It had been 19 days since the Aggies last played in front of the home crowd, and they immediately went to work, grabbing a double-digit lead by the first media timeout of the first half. That advantage quickly expanded to 20 and then 30 points, going to the break leading 62-30. You couldn’t draw a better outcome for this one.
