The Texas A&M Aggies started their 2025 NCAA Tournament journey with a hard fought 80-71 victory over the Yale Bulldogs in the first round.
While Texas A&M faced struggles from beyond the arc, shooting just 24% on three-pointers (6-25) and a challenging 57.1% from the free-throw line, their strength in the paint made all the difference. Pharrel Payne emerged as the game's star, delivering a career-high 25 points on 10-of-12 shooting. Payne’s presence in the paint was unstoppable, and he also contributed by going 5-of-6 from the charity stripe. The Aggies scored an impressive 48 points in the paint and out-rebounded Yale 37-29, emphasizing their physicality and control.
As March Madness continues, the Aggies have their sights set on advancing further. With their resilience, paint domination, and veteran leadership, Texas A&M aims to make their mark in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. Can they fine-tune their long-range shooting and free-throw accuracy to match their prowess around the basket? Fans will be eagerly watching as the Aggies march forward in the tournament.
Texas A&M will play the winner of No. 5 Michigan (25-9) versus No. 12 UC San Diego (30-4) in the second round on Saturday.
