  • 2025 marks the third-consecutive NCAA Tournament berth for the Aggies, which hadn't been accomplished by the program since making six straight trips more than a decade ago from 2006-11.
  • The No. 4 seeding by the Aggies was the third-highest in program history behind a pair of No. 3 seeds in 2007 and 2016.
