Texas A&M’s Wade Taylor IV, right, maneuvers around Alabama guard Mark Sears during the first half. The Aggies finished the season undefeated against league foes at Reed Arena.COLLEGE STATION — No. 2 Alabama on Saturday played 100 miles from NRG Stadium, where plenty of prognosticators figure the Crimson Tide will end up for the Final Four later this month.
The Aggies no doubt helped themselves in the NCAA Tournament seeding with the victory, as they finished 9-0 at home against Southeastern Conference foes this season. That helped lesson the sting of a 6-5 start in nonconference play that included a home loss to Wofford on Dec. 20. ‘The ‘Reed Rowdies,’ the 12th Man … they’ve done a phenomenal job and we can’t show our appreciation enough.”
“Nobody thought we’d be in this position we are in today,” Taylor said. “This team is very resilient, and we stayed together through this whole process. We’re not done, but to finish out conference with the most wins in conference history is the ending chapter of that book we just wrote. Now it’s time to start volume two.”
“A&M made us play hard for this one, which we expected, and we just didn’t quite have enough,” Alabama coach Nate Oats said. “They were ready to go, and we weren’t.” Freshman forward Brandon Miller, a likely top 10 pick in this summer’s NBA draft, led Alabama with 19 points, but also committed three fouls in the span of less than two minutes late in the game to foul out.
