Aggie Basketball Is Back!

// March 20th, 2006 // Life

The Texas A&M mens basketball team capped a stellar year with their first trip to the NCAA tournament since 1987. They beat Syracuse in the first round and earned their first trip to the second round in 26 years only to fall to LSU after a long 3-pointer with 3.9 seconds left elevated LSU over the Aggies with a 58-57 victory.

The Aggie football team has fallen on hard times of late, so it’s pretty nice having something to cheer about again and watch on TV, even if we do have to submit to a photo of us wearing LSU garb on our next trip to Lafayette to vist family. It was worth it after a season of thrills, the pinnacle of which was the buzzer-beater win over the highly-ranked University of Texas on March 1st.

Congatulations to the Aggie basketball team and Coach Gillispie on an amazing year to remember.
