In the three point shootout that erupted at the Wells Fargo Arena on Thursday night, Texas A&M brought a Red Ryder BB gun while Penn State showed up with a rocket launcher. The Aggies had no answers for the Nittany Lions potent offensive attack, getting throttled by 17 in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, 76-59. The loss ends A&M’s season with a 25-10 record and leaves many fans with the bitter disappointment of unfulfilled expectations for Aggie basketball.
A&M came out attacking the paint early and had some success as Julius Marble hit 3 of the teams first 4 shots to give the Ags an early 9-5 lead.
