A&M men picked 2nd in preseason Big 12 poll

The accolades continue to pour in for the A&M men's basketball program.

The Aggies were picked to finish second in the Big 12 conference preseason poll, which was selected by league coaches and released this afternoon. It's the highest the Aggies have ever been picked in the Big 12 preseason poll. Their previous high was seventh.

But expectations have been high this preseason for the A&M team, which returns four starters and its top six scorers from a squad that advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament last spring.

Kansas, which returns all five of its starters, is the overwhelming favorite to win the Big 12 title. The Jayhawks received 11 of the first-place votes and A&M received one.

UT is picked to finish fourth in the conference.


I have season tickets and I am so ready for the season to start.

My young team of stud freshmen at UT is going to take a&m down this season, count on it! :smokin

[LaMarcus Bryant]

You do realize UT has some of hte top recruits in the nation, a baby shaq, and will easily be the youngest, lankiest, skinniest, most athletic team in the big twelve right?

They will be exactly like KU was this last year...No experience whatsoever (The BABY AJ Abrams is our veteran this year) but will still go far.

I can't wait to make the road trip to watch A&M play UCLA at the Pond in December :hat

Stop in Vegas on the way back, and I'll give myself an early Christmas present with my winnings at the craps tables.
