Expectations have never been higher for Buzz Williams, and early indicators seem to give validity to the hype surrounding the 2024-25 Aggies. With the season opener inching closer, here's an in-depth look at lesser-known storylines for the upcoming campaign.

Texas A&M dropped its fifth-straight SEC contest in heartbreaking fashion as No. 18 South Carolina edged out the Aggies, 70-68. With a bucket in the final seconds dooming the Maroon & White, A&M is 6-9 in conference play with three regular-season games remaining.

The pressure is on for Texas A&M as the few remaining games will determine what their postseason will look like. With four regular-season games to go, A&M must find a way to pull out a win against another top-25-ranked squad at Reed Arena.

When No. 18 South Carolina comes to College Station on Wednesday night, Texas A&M will have the opportunity to end a four-game slide and earn a crucial Quadrant 1 victory that could bolster the Aggies' resume with the season nearing its end.

March inches closer but the Aggies are farther away from March Madness than any point this season. In order to stop a four-game slide against No. 18 South Carolina, Texas A&M must return to playing a brand of basketball that accounted for most of its early-season success.

The SEC's men's basketball programs took center stage at SEC Media Days in Birmingham on Wednesday ahead of the 2023-24 season. Hear from coaches, including Texas A&M's Buzz Williams, as they spoke to the media.
