Texas A&M head coach Buzz Williams intentionally scheduled his non-conference games, and after an early season stumble against UCF, the Aggies have won 9 of the next ten games.

No. 11 Purdue was the latest victory after a 70-66 win where the Aggies played smothering defense and shot the best they have all season long. A big key to the win was the efficiency of junior transfer Pharrel Payne, who went 6-6 for 16 points and pulled down nine rebounds. He discussed where he felt the team stepped in the right direction in this game.
