Texas A&M wrapped up their 2025-2026 regular season with a solid 21-10 record, including an 11-7 finish in SEC play under the guidance of first-year head coach Bucky McMillan. For a team that many thought wouldn't make it to the NCAA Tournament, securing over 20 wins and five Quad 1 victories is quite the accomplishment.
The Aggies ended their regular season on a high note with back-to-back wins against Kentucky and LSU. However, their journey through SEC play was anything but smooth. They kicked things off with a strong 7-1 start, only to hit a rough patch in February, finishing the month with a 2-6 record and enduring a tough four-game losing streak.
Senior forward Rashaun Agee has been a standout, earning third-team All-SEC honors. He's been the backbone of the team, leading in both scoring and rebounds. Even in their 20-point loss to Oklahoma in the SEC Tournament, Agee shone bright, notching his 13th double-double of the season-a new program record.
Looking ahead, the Aggies are widely projected as a 10-seed in the NCAA Tournament. ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi has consistently placed them there, even after their early SEC Tournament exit. Meanwhile, USA TODAY's final bracket prediction has them as an 11-seed, setting up a first-round clash with 6-seed North Carolina.
There's a strong consensus among media insiders that Texas A&M will land a 9, 10, or 11-seed. The latter two options might just give McMillan's experienced squad the edge they need to make a deeper run, potentially reaching the Sweet 16 if they can recapture the form that closed out their regular season.
