It was essentially a formality, but it sure did feel good to hear Texas A&M’s name called again on the NCAA Tournament selection show. The Aggies, now 25-9 after falling to Alabama in today’s SEC Tournament championship game, are a 7 seed in The Big Dance, and will face 10 seed Penn State in the first round. The game will be played in Des Moines Iowa, and will be played on Thursday, March 16.
And in a move that was in no way unintentional, the Aggies have a potential second round matchup with 2 seed Texas if the are able to advance.
