Aggie fans react to Texas A&M earning a 4-seed, taking on 13-seed Yale in March Madness
Texas A&M entered Selection Sunday aiming for a 3-seed but landed as a 4-seed in the highly anticipated 2025 NCAA Tournament. This outcome reflects their turbulent season, marked by impressive victories and challenging losses.
The Aggies' season highlights include a stunning win against No. 1 Auburn and a strong finish against LSU, showcasing their ability to perform against top-tier teams. However, their four-game losing streak, which included a loss to unranked Vanderbilt, highlighted the team’s inconsistency. Ranked as high as No. 7 and as low as No. 22, Texas A&M often oscillated between dominance and struggles, leaving fans on edge.
Key to their performance is their relentless defense and elite rebounding, traits that counterbalance their struggles with offensive efficiency, which ranks near the bottom of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Their grit and confidence have remained steadfast throughout the season.
Facing 13-seed Yale in the first round, the Texas A&M Aggies' defense will be tested. The matchup has all the makings of a potential upset, making it a top pick for March Madness predictions. Fans of the Maroon & White can anticipate a thrilling game as the team aims to prove their seeding right and make a deep run in the tournament.
Below are some of the best reactions from Aggie fans and the media after the revealing of the March Madness seeding.
Tough opponent to start the tournament
Yale is a tough draw (ask Auburn) and Michigan just won the B1G tourney. Zero favors in Denver draw for Ags and then would face Auburn in Atlanta. Cost themselves 3-seed down the stretch but A&M still has a very real chance to advance and face a team that they beat rwo weeks ago.

Dominating the glass will be key to advancing to the next round
Yale hasn’t played a rebounding team like A&M yet.

The Bulldogs are 22nd in D-1 at offensive rebounding percentage allowed at just 25.8%.
The Aggies pride themselves on grabbing offensive rebounds, leading the country at 42.0%.
