With a host of persistent questions lingering after a poor showing in Myrtle Beach, the Aggie men’s basketball team traveled to Chicago to play the DePaul Blue Demons on the day after Thanksgiving. Buzz Williams’s A&M squad resoundingly answered those doubts by handily dispatching the Blue Demons, 82-66. It was clear that the Aggie coaching staff challenged their three core players, Tyrece Radford, Wade Taylor, and Henry Coleman, after lackluster showings against Murray State, Colorado, and Loyola. The trio responded accordingly in Chicago, dismantling a seasoned Big East squad.
The Aggies deployed a new starting lineup combination in this one, with Radford, Coleman, Dexter Dennis, Andre Gordon, and Andersson Garcia getting the nod.
