There may not be a hotter team in college basketball than Texas A&M. The Aggies had a disastrous non-conference schedule that included Q4 losses to Murray State and Wofford. Since then, they’ve rattled off an 11-2 SEC record, highlighted by a sweep of Auburn. They’re now in my last four byes, and if they keep playing the way they have they’ll be out of bubble trouble in no time.
