Texas A&M's 2024-2025 basketball season ended at the hands of 5-seed Michigan in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, falling 91-79 on Saturday afternoon, as the Aggies' poor second-half defense allowed the Wolverines to storm back after trailing by double-digits at the 13-minute mark.
With the loss, the most significant era of Texas A&M basketball, led by the incredible senior group composed of all-time leading scorer Wade Taylor IV, forwards Henry Coleman III and Andersson Garcia, and reserve guards Hayden Hefner and Jace Carter, took in the final moments of their college basketball careers before departing for good and pursuing their professional careers in the coming months.
Also, after losing senior guard Zhuric Phelps and sharpshooter CJ Wilcher after one season, head coach Buzz Williams has plenty of roster holes to fill this offseason after the transfer portal opened on Monday. This led to the news that Williams has contacted one of the top portal players out of the MAAC, former Quinnipiac forward and conference Player of the Year, Amarri Monroe.
During his final season at Quinnipiac, the 6'7" junior averaged 18.1 points per game and 9.1 rebounds and shot 40% from the field and 82.6% from the free throw line. Monroe would be an absolute slam dunk of an acquisition and a perfect fit next to incoming senior forward Pharrel Payne, who scored 51 points in both games during the NCAA Tournament.
