The Texas A&M Aggies men’s basketball team heads to Knoxville to take on the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday in a rematch of the “Timeout-Gate” game from Feb. 10 when the Aggies rolled the No. 6 Vols 85-69 inside Reed Arena.
It was the last game the Aggies won.Since then, A&M has lost three consecutive games to Vanderbilt, No. 15 Alabama and Arkansas, while the Vols have won three straight over Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Mizzou.
The ESPN broadcast immediately called Williams out and criticized the officials for not issuing a technical foul on the Aggies coach. Instead, A&M only received a bench warning. Volunteers head coach Rick Barnes agreed with the broadcast, and on Tuesday reported that the SEC did too,
“I can assure you it’s been addressed, long before I even talked about it,” Barnes said, according to Volquest. “I have so much respect for our conference and Mike Eades, who’s in charge of officiating. I can assure you he took care of it, probably before we walked off the court. They reached out first. And like I said, I appreciate, again, before I even got to the plane I’d gotten a text saying that it was not handled the right way
