The Texas A&M men's basketball team is preparing for its first-round game in the 2026 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. The Aggies, seeded 10th in the South Region, will face the 7th-seeded Saint Mary's Gaels on Friday, March 20. The game is scheduled to tip off at approximately 7:20 p.m. ET at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.
Head coach Buzz Williams and players addressed the media on Wednesday, discussing their matchup. "They're a very disciplined, well-coached team," Williams said of Saint Mary's. "We have to be sharp in our execution and limit their second-chance opportunities." The Aggies enter the tournament with a 22-11 overall record.
This marks Texas A&M's second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. The winner of this game will advance to the second round on Sunday to face the winner of the matchup between 2nd-seeded Duke and 15th-seeded Montana State.
