Men’s Hoops Disappoints in Myrtle Beach, Finishes 7th

The Aggies headed to the Myrtle Beach Invitational with two dominant wins, a fresh top 25 ranking, and the mantle of tournament favorite. After finishing 1-2 on the weekend, they returned home with two black eyes and a Samsonite suitcase full of questions. A&M opened the weekend with a 9-point upset at the hands of Murray State in a game which they never led. This setup a consolation bracket showdown with Colorado, and the Buffs dominated the Aggies in 28-point decimation that was essentially over at halftime. The Ags were relegated to the 7th place game against recent NCAA tournament darling Loyola Chicago and salvaged the weekend with a 16-point victory.
