Texas A&M’s hire of Buzz Williams came with a lot of sizzle in the summer of 2019. He was leaving behind a successful run at Virginia Tech and was coming off his best season with the Hokies, qualifying as a four-seed in the NCAA Tournament that nearly upset Duke in the Sweet Sixteen.
Instead of building on the momentum in Blacksburg, Williams migrated south to his home state of Texas to take over A&M in College Station. After two seasons, the progress was very small. During the COVID-19 year last season, A&M won just two SEC games and finished 8-10 overall.
