Texas A&M Aggies NCAA Basketball Betting
When Buzz Williams took over as head coach of the Texas A&M Aggies, he was greeted, much like former A&M football coach Jimbo Fisher, as a savior. But as Fisher learned, winning at Texas A&M isn’t as easy as their rich donors believe it should be. Texas A&M has never advanced past the Sweet 16, which it most recently did in 2018. Thus, Williams is fighting history and doing so in the toughest basketball conference (SEC) in college hoops. The 2024-25 season was more of the same, with Texas A&M bowing out in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

2025 Texas A&M Aggies Season Recap
Overall, the Texas A&M Aggies are 23-10 straight up, 16-13-2 against the spread, and 12-19 over/under the total. Texas A&M has national metrics of 178th for scoring offense, 324th for field goal percentage, 331st for 3-point field goal percentage, 270th for free throw percentage, and 13th for offensive rebounding. While defensively, Texas A&M is 47th for scoring defense, 22nd for field goal percentage permitted, 155th for 3-point field goal percentage allowed, and 25th for defensive rebounding.
Lately, Texas A&M has covered three of its previous five games and has gone over the total in seven of its last eight outings. Wade Taylor is first among A&M scorers, with 15.2 points per game.
Despite a career-high 26 points for Pharrel Payne, Texas A&M blew a 10-point lead in the second half as the Michigan Wolverines stormed back for a 91-79 win to advance to the Sweet 16. The Wolverines flipped the game on its head midway through the second half after trailing 60-50, outscoring Texas A&M 44-22 in the final 13 minutes thanks to a career-high 26 points off the bench from Roddy Gayle Jr.
The loss puts an end to the career of Aggies guard Wade Taylor IV, who had his No. 4 jersey retired and became the program's all-time leading scorer this season.
Taylor IV (14 points, four assists) nearly had a 3-pointer go down with 52 seconds left that would have cut the lead to two, but it rattled out, essentially sealing Texas A&M's fate. This came after Michigan point guard Tre Donaldson (eight points, six rebounds) hit a falling layup to put the Wolverines up five with 59 seconds remaining.
Michigan took control of the game in the second half after Texas A&M had led for a majority of the night. Gayle Jr. caught fire, scoring 12 straight points for the Wolverines, eventually giving them their first lead of the second half with a pair of free throws at the 6:08 mark.
The Wolverines beat Texas A&M at its own game, using the frontcourt dominance of Vladislav Goldin (23 points, 12 rebounds) and Danny Wolf (14 points, nine rebounds) to out-rebound the Aggies 48-39. Michigan also got 11 points off the bench from L.J. Cason, along with seven points and seven rebounds from Rubin Jones.
Texas A&M will now head into a huge offseason, as a new era is set to take over in College Station. The Aggies have established themselves as an elite program moving forward, keeping the expectations high for head coach Buzz Williams and co.
“I don’t think we finished at the rim at the rate we need to, and I think we fouled way too much,” said Aggies coach Buzz Williams, who was trying to take a third school to the Sweet 16 after successful runs at Marquette and Virginia Tech.
“We are dependent on shooting more balls from the field and from the free-throw line. And so to allow them in the bonus so quickly both halves goes against us,” Williams said. “And then we are reliant completely on extra shots from offensive rebounds, and we are reliant and dependent on only allowing the opponent one shot. We did not do as well as our averages up until today from a defensive rebound perspective or an offensive rebound perspective.”
