Texas A&M’s 2025-2026 basketball season will be the first under first-year head coach Bucky McMillan, who will succeed Buzz Williams after six seasons. Under McMillan, offense is the name of the game, which will be a sight for sore eyes among the Aggie fan base, who grew tired of the lack of offensive consistency, especially from 3-point range.
Well, get ready for a lot of scoring, as McMillan has put together a highly competent roster led by Indiana transfer forward Mackenzie Mgbako and Creighton transfer guard Pop Issacs, who, along with their head coach, will represent the Aggies during next week’s SEC Media Days.
From a depth perspective, other key transfers include guard Jacari Lane, small forward Rylan Griffen, forward Federiko Federiko, and, most importantly, based on what we’ve heard this month, Spanish guard Ruben Dominguez, who has been hailed as one of the “best shooters in the world” by McMillan.
Compared to last season, Texas A&M’s nonconference schedule isn’t brutal. It does include games against Oklahoma State, Florida State, Pitt, SMU, and UCF, all of which are winnable, even for a team that has yet to take the court together outside of practice. On Friday, the official times and channel information for every game, including all 18 SEC matchups, were released.
As you can see, four of the five critical nonconference matchups will be nationally broadcast. In contrast, every single one of Texas A&M’s conference games will be broadcast on either the SEC Network, ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU.
