In the background of Quenton Jackson's spectacular alley-oop against Arkansas, the Aggie bench created a highlight of their own as players fell on the floor as though slain in the spirit of Jackson's dunk. But the A&M bench also has become a key factor on the court in recent weeks.

The Aggies went on the road and knocked off a Crimson Tide team that is fighting for a bid in the NCAA Tournament. Logan Lee takes a closer look at how Buzz Williams' crew capitalized on some outstanding performances and 40 minutes of determination to win in Tuscaloosa.

The Aggie men's basketball team trailed Alabama at halftime, but a second-half run helped give Texas A&M the lead for good. Four A&M players reached double figures, led by Quenton Jackson's 20 points.

During Wednesday's edition of TexAgs Radio, former A&M player, coach and interim AD John Thornton joined to preview the Maroon & White's matchup with the Alabama Crimson Tide this evening on the hardwood.

Texas A&M prevailed in a nail-biter in their second meeting with Georgia, defeating the Bulldogs, 74-69, on Saturday afternoon. Emanuel Miller had a career-high 21 points, and four other Aggies scored in double figures.

Texas A&M will have the benefit of having already faced the Georgia Bulldogs when the two meet again at Reed Arena on Saturday afternoon. However, the Aggies hope the rematch is far from a repeat as A&M will have to guard Anthony Edwards much more closely in this one.

The Aggies kept the game close in the first half but fell away in the second in their 17-point loss to Florida at Reed Arena on Wednesday. After the game, Buzz Williams, several Aggie players and Florida head coach Mike White met with the media to recap the game.

During Monday's edition of TexAgs Radio, Texas A&M men's basketball coach Buzz Williams joined to offer his opinion on the Maroon & White's .500 week on the road, and what Jonathan Aku's rebounding prowess does for the Aggies.

A second-half meltdown from Texas A&M resulted in a fifteen point loss to Georgia in Athens on Saturday. The Aggies struggled from the field throughout the contest, and turnovers gave Georgia multiple opportunities to extend the lead.

Texas A&M shot just 30 percent from the field on Tuesday night against Tennessee, but a thoroughly dominating rebounding performance from the Aggies paved the way for a big-time win for Buzz Williams & Co. Wendell Mitchell hit a clutch 3-pointer to give A&M the lead late.

Texas A&M's 2019-2020 basketball season has been far from easy. With all the ups and downs of the first half of the year, the Aggies seem to be turning somewhat of a corner. They'll face another test in Oklahoma State to see just how close to that corner they really are.

It came down to the wire in Columbia on Tuesday night, but Texas A&M got back in the win column, and .500 in SEC play, after downing the Missouri Tigers, 66-64. Savion Flagg and Josh Nebo each scored 14 points, while Wendell Mitchell added 12 more.

Defending the 3-point shot was Texas A&M's weakness in losses to LSU and South Carolina last week. Should the Aggies not correct that issue, they could be in for another rough night, and a third-consecutive loss, as they travel to face the Missouri Tigers on Tuesday night.

Texas A&M's 3-pointer struggles continued on Saturday as South Carolina was able to take advantage and secure a double-digit victory at Reed. The Aggies have now lost two straight SEC matchups at home to move to 2-3 in conference play.

South Carolina will come to Aggieland on Saturday riding the high of a buzzer-beater victory over Kentucky. Meanwhile, the Aggies have shown improvement over the last couple of weeks, but will still need to rebound following an overtime loss to LSU on Tuesday night.

Surprisingly, the Aggies have a chance to win their third-consecutive SEC game on Tuesday night when the LSU Tigers come to Reed Arena. It certainly won't be easy, but their solid defense and newfound shot-making ability should give the Maroon & White a chance.

The Texas A&M men's basketball team made the trip to Nashville on Saturday and put on a show in a strong performance, taking down the Commodores, 69-50. Andre Gordon had 15 points and 2 assists to lead the way for the Aggies.

The A&M men's basketball team may not have quite yet turned the corner, but they're continuing to show steady and marked improvement with each game. Led by their defense, the Aggies hope to continue making strides against Vanderbilt on Saturday.
