Texas A&M is 3-0 on the year after Monday night's 108-67 blowout win over UL Monroe, led by transfer guards PJ Haggerty (22 points) and Jordan Pope's (19) impressive play, while McNeese transfer guard Tyshawn Archie now looks like the team's go-to scoring option off the bench after scoring 12 points, including his emphatic dunk over a 6'9" forward.Even more impressive, TCU needed overtime to defeat UL Monroe 100-92 Tuesday night, while the Aggies prepare to face their toughest test yet: hosting Oklahoma State Thursday night. Last season, during coach Bucky McMillan's inaugural campaign, Texas A&M fell to the Cowboys 87-63, then lost at home to UCF, leaving fans wondering if the Aggies were a legit NCAA Tournament contender.Well, McMillan proved his worth after leading the Aggies to the Round of 32, falling to a better Houston team but providing plenty of momentum in the offseason and helping build the current roster, which is more than talented enough to make a deep postseason run.Oklahoma State senior forward Andrija Grbovic leads the Cowboys in scoring with 13.5 points per game, while five players are averaging double-digit scoring. Averaging 53% shooting and 47% from beyond the arc, this could be a high-scoring game, while Texas A&M is looking for revenge after being embarrassed on the road last season.ESPN FPI is confident in the Aggies' chances, giving the home team a 58.2% chance to win on Thursday, as PJ Haggerty and Jordan Pope are both currently averaging 18 points per game, followed by Tyshawn Archie, Jalen Shelley, and Mackenzie Mgabako, all averaging double-digit scoring.Texas A&M will host Oklahoma State on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. and will stream on SEC Network+.Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes and opinions.
