‘In every category, we did not meet our standard…’ Buzz Williams speaks after loss to Memphis
Texas A&M played hard but could not keep pace with a very determined Memphis Tiger game. It was an intense battle that was full of double-digit runs for each team. However, in the long run, the shots for the Tigers fell while the Aggies did not have the same luck. Coach Buzz knows his team put forward a strong effort, but they couldn’t find any rhythm throughout the night: “We were too inconsistent… Arguably, that’s as good of a roster that has been here in a long time. We were not terrible at anything, but we were not good.” This was a tough loss that ended a winning streak at home that dated back to December 29th of last year. They will take a day to reflect and then focus on the next opponent. Below, you can watch the full post-game press conference with Coach Buzz Williams. Texas A&M will return next weekend to take on the No.3 ranked Houston Cougars in the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
