Live Game Updates: Texas A&M Aggies Fall Short Against Boise State Broncos, 86-71

Follow along here for live game updates from the Aggies' men's basketball matchup with Boise State.

This early college basketball season sees the Aggies at 5-2, looking to maintain their winning ways against Boise State (5-2) in a Saturday night matchup. A&M head coach Buzz Williams thinks his team has taken steps in the right direction recently. Now, Texas A&M is in the midst of a three-game win streak and the Aggies will try to take another step forward against the Broncos.

The Aggies come into this game with three players averaging double figures in scoring. They're led in that category by guard Wade Taylor IV, who nets just under 16 points per game for A&M. Forward Henry Coleman III adds 11 points and five rebounds per game, but exploded for 23 points in the Aggies' most recent win. There's also guard Tyrece Radford who had 31 points in the game prior to that, and always provides a spark offensively.

Tonight, A&M will need to count on both its starters and its rotation players if the Aggies are going to extend their win streak to four games.
