Gritty, gutty Aggies (Erik Scheponik)
You’ll probably hear it alot over the next 4 or 5 days, but that was a very difficult hurdle for Texas AM to overcome beating a RED HOT Louisville team in Kentucky. They probably shouldn’t have had to play that game with the season they had, but they accepted the challenge, and despite being down 6 with under 5 minutes to play, they dug in, played their trademark defense, and outscored Louisville 13-4 the rest of the way. This team is hard not to cheer for, and things set up very nicely for them going back to their home state for the next 2 rounds.

I completely agree Erik. Texas A&M remains the most underrated team in the nation and I picked them to make the Final Four in my bracket earlier this week. I would have liked to see Xavier pull the upset over Ohio State, but I still think the Aggies match up well against the Buckeyes in the Elite Eight, assuming they get by the Nevada/Memphis winner.

Steve, agree 100%. I have a running money line bet on A&M, and I am letting it ride until the end. Placed a similar bet with UCLA last year, and was up more going into the final than I would have been I had a placed a future bet for them to win it all at the start of the tourney. Was able to pull back the reins, and take a profit (not as much as I should have because for some silly reason I liked UCLA over Florida) before the championship was even played. Anyway, the moral is…A&M is my team this season.
