With the first high-profile contest against USC looming, the Aggies faced a potential stumbling block with the American Eagles. The Eagles previously took #25 Maryland down to the wire with a narrow 6-point defeat and their shifty guards Delante Jones and Sa’eed Nelson threatened to cause trouble for A&M’s backcourt. The maroon and white did not trip up and took care of business Monday night, dispatching the Eagles 76-53. Here are some takeaways from last night.
The stars shined bright
The big three lived up to their billing, scoring 38 of A&M’s 76 points. Tyler Davis looked outright dominant, tallying 17 points in only 20 minutes of playing time.
