Texas A&M is now 3-0 on the year after blowing out UL Monroe 108-67 behind 52% shooting, and transfer guards PJ Haggerty (22 points) and Jordan Pope (19 points) continue to make a consistent impact and lead the scoring effort in non-conference play.
The Aggies’ guard depth was on full display, as freshman Neiko Mundey and McNeese transfer Tyshawn Archie combined for 20 points, while Archie, who looks like the team’s sixth man before A&M hosts Oklahoma State on Thursday, is one of the best athletes on the team at just 6’1′ and 175 pounds.

Scoring 100-plus points in back-to-back weeks, Tyshawn Archie had plenty of chances to show off his hops, recording his first dunk of the season during last Friday’s 104-67 win over Northern Kentucky, which was impressive, but it does not match Tuesday night’s slam, as Archie dunked over 6’10” UL Monroe forward Jean LaFleur with ease and made ESPN’s SportCenter Top 10, coming in at No. 1.
Before the season, several analysts, including TexAgs basketball insider Luke Evangelist, named Tyshawn Archie as the player “no one is talking about,” and through three games, Archie is now a key member of the deepest guard rotation in Texas A&M history and will be the reason the Aggies make a run in the NCAA Tournament.
For Texas A&M to have a shot at defeating Oklahoma State on Thursday night, Tyshawn Archie needs to make a similar impact off the bench.
