After a five-game winning streak, the Texas A&M Aggies (7-3) dropped a heartbreaker in the Hoop Hype XL event against a talented SMU Mustangs (9‑1) squad. Now they’ll look to rebound when they host the Jacksonville Dolphins (5‑5) at Reed Arena.
Coach Bucky McMillan has praised his team’s progress but was frustrated with how they closed regulation against SMU. With 40 seconds left, the ball, the lead, and a timeout, the Aggies committed costly turnovers that let the Mustangs tie the game and force overtime—where A&M was steamrolled. The collapse stung, yet McMillan refused to dwell solely on mistakes, noting his team showed flashes worth applauding in the second half.
On paper, this matchup favors the Aggies. Jacksonville struggles mightily to defend the three‑point line, while A&M ranks among the nation’s leaders in attempts from deep. That combination should create plenty of clean looks. The question is whether the Aggies seize the chance for a bounce‑back performance or allow the struggles to linger.
