Where did Texas A&M basketball land in the US LBM Coaches poll after Week 16?

[ad_1]

The Texas A&M (20-5, 9-3 SEC) basketball team went 2-0 in week 16 beating both Arkansas and Georgia, extending their winning streak to five.

The Aggies continues to impress with their recent performance, showing consistency that has been working for them over the last few weeks. Solomon Washington has been coming into his own, and his defensive prowess has helped hold the last three opponents under 65 points per game. While Wade Taylor has not been shooting his best, he has been stepping up when needed and is becoming more of a facilitator this season.

Overall, head coach Buzz Williams has done a fantastic job keeping his team grounded and getting the most out of a squad that he admits is not the most talented in the conference. What they lack in raw talent, they make up for with unwavering confidence, grit, and determination. Their dedication to each other has been crucial this season, with everyone accepting their roles for the betterment of the team.

The top 25 rankings saw significant movement after Week 16. Auburn retook the No. 1 spot after beating Alabama, who dropped to No. 4. Houston climbed back into the top 5 at No. 5, and the biggest drop was Purdue, falling from No. 7 to No. 14. The Aggies continue to inch closer to the top 5, leaping two spots to No. 7.
