The Aggies have stormed their way into a semifinal spot in the SEC Tournament. Upsetting the Kentucky Wildcats in a 97-87 victory, Texas A&M will face the Alabama versus Florida matchup winner.
Texas A&M finished the regular season with an 18-13 overall record but marched past Ole Miss and Kentucky to earn a spot in the semifinals.
With the two wins in the conference tournament, the Aggies sit at 20-13 overall and have a much better chance of earning their ticket to the Big Dance.
Fans absolutely loved TAMU’s upset victory over Kentucky:
please aggies.

I don’t know what the basketball team ate for lunch or pregame ritual but they should do whatever it is more often

John Calipari is easily one of the most overrated coaches in basketball history. For a guy who has recruited so many NBA level players, he has one title. Meanwhile his "good team" is getting it's butt kick by a 19 win Texas A&M. #SECTournament
