Everything the Aggies had to say after March Madness blowout loss

Texas A&M’s 2025-26 season ended in disappointing fashion on Saturday night, dropping their round of 32 game against Houston, 57-88 . The Aggies kept it close in the early portion of the game, trailing the Cougars by one with 7:43 left to go in the first half. The floodgates broke open immediately after, however, as Houston stormed to an 18-0 run to take a 43-24 lead and never looked back.

Texas A&M struggled in all areas of this match. The starting five dropped a paltry 26 points on 26. 6% shooting from the field; the team was outrebounded by 17 total boards and 10 offensive; the Cougars’ stout defense tallied 7 blocks while the infamously short Aggies couldn’t muster a single one.

While the loss will sting Aggie fans, it’s important to remember that even making the dance was a massive win for a program that was in shambles after losing Buzz Williams. With a new head coach, just one returning player, and a late start in the transfer portal, most analysts wrote off Texas A&M as a team destined for a “rebuilding” year. The significance of this season was not lost on the players and coaches even after a heartbreaking loss.
