?The community caught basketball fever like never before at Texas A&M and it came to end earlier in the tournament than any of us wanted. We saw this as a great way to talk Aggie hoops one more time,? according to News 3 Sports Director, Darryl Bruffett.
?A&M is focused on building champions, and the road to winning championships starts with turning the ship. That?â„¢s what A&M coaches and players did this year,? said Mike Wright, General Manager of KBTX. ?This is a way for fans to congratulate them for their part in putting A&M basketball back on the map.?
