“Oh man, I feel like we had two head coaches,” senior guard Zhuric Phelps said. “Wade is a great teammate, man. He instills so much confidence in everybody and you know that was a big part of why we got that win Wednesday.”
“He was the loudest one we heard him more than Coach Buzz, Coach Dale,” junior forward Solomon Washington said. “He's very important even when he's not on the floor, he's very vocal and time outs he was the most vocal. He was telling us we didn't get a turkey the entire first half. So, you know that was kind of Coach Taylor that game, but he was very effective even without being on the floor.”
The No. 10 Aggies will host No. 5 Alabama for the first top-10 matchup at Reed Arena in program history. Tipoff Saturday night is set for 7pm.
