Scouting the Aggies
The Aggies (25-12) defeated Oregon, 75-60, Saturday to advance to the quarterfinals for the fourth time in program history.

Familiar Faces
Wednesday's game features some familiar faces as Wake Forest head coach Steve Forbes and director of player development Antanas Kavaliauskas return to Aggieland. Forbes, along with Buzz Williams, were assistant coaches at A&M from 2004-06, and orchestrated one of the best turnarounds in the nation, improving its win total in 2004-05 by 14 games compared to 2003-04. The pair made a NIT appearance in 2005, before earning a bid in to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 25 years. Kavaliauskas played at Texas A&M for two seasons (2005-07) and helped the Aggies to a Sweet 16 appearance in 2007. He was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team in 2007 after averaging 11.9 points and 6.3 rebounds.
