‘Bucky Ball’ Fuels Texas A&M’s 104–70 Rout of Texas Southern After Big Second Half

Sunday’s trip to Oklahoma State will test Texas A&M’s fast-paced makeover under first-year coach Bucky McMillan.

Overview

  • Texas A&M moved to 2-0 with a 63-point second half that turned a 41-36 halftime edge into a runaway win.
  • The Aggies drilled 15 three-pointers and shot 46.7% after the break as the press-and-pace identity took hold.
  • The 104 points were A&M’s first 100-point outing since 2017, with five players in double figures and 54 bench points.
  • Coach Bucky McMillan said leading scorer Rashaun Agee left to see an ophthalmologist for an eye issue and his status is being evaluated.
  • Mackenzie Mgbako remained sidelined as he recovers from foot surgery, with his return expected later this month.
