Reigning SEC Defensive Player of the year Robert Williams missed Saturday’s game with the flu. The 6 feet 10, 241 pounder should be ready for action tonight. Tyler Davis is 6-10 and weighs 264.These two behemoths are ready to show their skills on a national stage.
The Aggies were a preseason choice to contend for the SEC crown. They find themselves in a desperate situation with an 0-3 start because of so many injuries in the backcourt.
With Auburn and Florida the only remaining unbeaten teams in the SEC, the conference championship is wide open.
