It's no question that this Aggie Basketball team is struggling. Four straight losses are never good. Pull out either of one of the Alabama or Missouri games and there aren't really any big concerns about the Aggie's postseason prospects. Luckily for the fans, it's not nearly as bad as it seems.
Everyone has their go-to bracketologists that they follow, and most of them are pretty good predictors of team's seeding come March Madness. The 2026 Bracket Matrix compiles 113 bracketology sites and gives an average for every team. The Aggies currently are sitting with an average seed of 9.43 and are in the NCAA tournament field for every single bracket.
According to the most recent updated brackets, The Aggies are as low as an 11 seed in only 11 total brackets, as high as an 8 seed in 14 brackets, a 10 seed in 41 total brackets, and a 9 seed in 47 total brackets.

The advanced metrics are fairly high on the Aggies as well. Ken Pomeroy has the Aggies rated the 35th best team in the country while Bart Torvik has the Aggies ranked at 32. Yes, the Aggies chances have definitely fallen since this time last week, but with the Aggies still inside the top 48 in the NET rankings (currently at 43rd), the Aggies should be a tournament team as of today.
Bucky McMillan and the Aggies still have a lot of work to do, but this team has greatly exceeded expectations so far this year. With only 6 regular season games left, the Aggies have a lot of opportunities to cement their resume as a tournament team. It starts with tomorrow against Ole Miss. As a definite quad 3 game, that will be a must-win for any postseason chances.
After that the Aggies will have 2 straight quad 1 road opportunities at Oklahoma and Arkansas, a likely quad 2 home game against Texas, then a hopeful quad 1 home game against Kentucky, before finishing with a quad 1 road game at LSU. Some of those are subject to change depending on how team finish in the NET rankings, but if the Aggies can go 4-2 or maybe even 3-3 down the stretch win a win in the SEC tournament, they should be just fine.
