Bucky McMillan provides injury update for Texas A&M transfer forward
Texas A&M moved to 3-0 after beating UL Monroe, but forward Cade Phillips is questionable for the next game with a knee injury.
Texas A&M extends its winning streak to three games after overcoming UL Monroe 108-67 in a thrilling matchup. Freshman guard Bucky McMillan propelled the Aggies to their second consecutive scoring surge, netting 100 points for the second game in a row. The team shot 52.1% from the field, but struggled from beyond the arc, hitting only 29% of their three-pointers.
However, they improved from the free-throw line, making 23 out of 29 attempts. Kansas State transfer guard PJ Haggerty led the scoring with 22 points, followed closely by Texas transfer guard Jordan Pope with 19. Jalen Shelley, the transfer forward, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out four assists. McNeese transfer guard Tyshawn Archie put on a highlight reel performance with a second-half dunk and scored 12 points off the bench, establishing himself as the Aggies' best sixth man before SEC play.
Forward Cade Phillips suffered a nasty foul during the game, leaving him with an ice pack on his knee and facing a tough road ahead. After undergoing imaging on Tuesday, Phillips is now listed as questionable for Thursday's crucial game against Oklahoma State. If he cannot play, junior forward Jamie Vinson is set to step up and potentially become the team's starter.
