Texas A&M Aggies crush North Carolina Tar Heels

The SEC managed to get eight teams into the NCAA Tournament, but entering Sunday, only three remained.

The Kentucky Wildcats already clinched their spot in the Sweet 16, but few thought they would be joined by the Texas A&M Aggies, who was set to face the 2-seeded North Carolina Tar Heels in the Round of 32.

UNC was the heavy favorite going in, so much that ESPN BPI gave them a 79-percent chance of winning.

Texas A&M proved everyone wrong by crushing the Tar Heels on Sunday, 86-65, to advance to the Sweet 16.
