Bucky McMillan: This is the first season that Bucky McMillan is the head coach in Aggieland. He only inherited one returning player from last season’s roster and had to reconstruct nearly the entire roster. He is not a stranger to playing in March as he took his previous program, the Samford Bulldogs, to the NCAA Tournament. Now, he’s trying to do something he’s never done. Win the SEC Tournament and cut down the nets in the National Championship Game.
Mark Pope: It is the second season that Mark Pope has been the leader of Big Blue after the departure of former head coach John Calipari. In his short time in Lexington, Kentucky, Pope has taken the Wildcats to the NCAA Tournament one time and twice while he was the head coach at BYU.
