Only 2 of those 9 new incoming players are freshmen with the rest being transfer portal additions.
The Lions feature 7 returning members of last year’s squad and 9 newcomers. Commerce’s leading returning scorer is Kalen Williams, a 6’ 2” senior guard who averaged 9.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 29.4 minutes per game last season. The Lions accounted well for themselves, finishing 13-20 overall and 9-9 in conference play.
The #15 ranked Aggies open their 2023-24 campaign tonight at 7:00 PM from Reed Arena against the Lions of Texas A&M-Commerce.Ī&M-Commerce faced a major transition last season as they jumped from Division 2 to Division 1 and joined the Southland Conference. Buzz Williams begins his fifth season as the head coach of Texas A&M carrying the lofty expectations of a veteran-laden roster, back-to-back runner-up finishes in the SEC Tournament, and a disappointingly brief return to the NCAA Tournament.
