What they’re saying

“We got off to an awful start. The worst start in a long, long time.”

— Mike White, Georgia Bulldogs Head Coach

“Even when they came back, they cut it to two. You didn't see a panic in our guys. Just stay the course. We'll look at the scoreboard when the game's over. Whatever it is is what it is.”

— Bucky McMillan, Texas A&M Head Coach

“We thought if we could get this game to the last five or six minutes, we would play really well. You saw us run away with it there at the end of the game and that's we thought would happen with our group.”

— Bucky McMillan, Texas A&M Head Coach

What’s next

Texas A&M will look to continue their strong start to SEC play when they host Ole Miss on Wednesday, February 5th. Georgia will try to bounce back when they travel to face Vanderbilt on the same date.

The takeaway

Texas A&M's ability to withstand Georgia's second-half comeback and pull away late showcases the Aggies' resilience and composure, traits that have helped them establish themselves as one of the top teams in the SEC this season.
