Cameron Ohnysty, Aggies WireTue, December 2, 2025 at 2:07 AM UTC·1 min readTexas A&M (6-2) is finally looking like the team we all expected during head coach Bucky McMillan's first season at the helm, as the Aggies are coming off an impressive 95-59 blowout road win over Florida State, which featured another elite performance from star shooter Rubén Dominguez, who, after breaking the program record for 3-point makes in a game (10), hit seven shots from deep on Friday night.
Due to Texas A&M's football matchup with rival Texas less than an hour after the win, this impressive performance flew under the radar. Still, with a two-week break before the Aggies enter the College Football Playoff, the basketball team will be back in the spotlight, set to face Pitt in the ACC/SEC challenge on Tuesday night.

In both losses to Oklahoma State and UCF, this brand-new roster, filled with veterans from the transfer portal, had yet to establish its identity, but since the home loss to the Knights, the Aggies have shot over 40% from the field and from 3-point range in all but one game.
Tuesday's matchup vs. Pittsburgh will be another Quad 2 opportunity, and after what we saw against the Seminoles, Texas A&M is the road favorite for the second consecutive game.
