Texas A&M basketball is coming off one of their best wins in recent memory.
After being down by as many as 18 against the Sooners, the Aggies showed why this is arguably the best depth under Buzz Williams' tenure.
The victory showed the college basketball world that the Aggies can compete with the best in the SEC, which is appearing to be the best basketball conference this season.
It was about time someone recognized that the Aggies are underrated, and it's about time someone talks about them.
Jon Rothstein's prediction is one that basketball fans can no longer ignore
It's not hard to see why Texas A&M could be in the Final Four this year, with their size and physicality being some of the main reasons why.
After the Aggies' miraculous comeback win over Oklahoma, college basketball analyst Jon Rothstein made an observation that fans can no longer ignore.
Texas A&M is a darkhorse Final Four team.

Aggies aren't getting the same attention as other teams at the top of the SEC, but are clearly in the same weight class on a neutral court. https://t.co/aI1pG55zb6
Rothstein is also correct that the Aggies aren't getting the same amount of attention compared to teams like Alabama, Tennessee or Auburn. The Aggies just had a season-defining win, which will definitely make plenty of fans think highly of the Aggies.
The game also revealed how the Aggies won by getting Zhuric Phelps from SMU, by possibly being the best transfer of the year in the SEC.
The only way the Aggies can't make a deep run would be if three-point shooting collapses against the wrong team. The Aggies were able to get away with it against the Longhorns, and by a long shot, but if they don't make it up from paint points or out-rebounding their opponents, they might fall short to an opponent in the tournament.
Either way, this is great publicity for A&M basketball. When Wade Taylor IV comes back, the team will just get that much better.
