No. 10 Texas A&M vs. No. 7 St. Mary's, Round of 64: Box Score, Live Updates

In the iconic words of UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer, "It's time!"

The Texas A&M Aggies are set to make their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament under Bucky McMillan as they boast a No. 10 seeding against the No. 7 St. Mary's Gaels in the Round of 64.

The Aggies made it past the first round last year when they knocked off Yale before falling to the Michigan Wolverines in the Round of 32.

A&M will look to make it a little further under McMillan, who is experiencing his first NCAA Tournament since the 2023-24 season when he led the Samford Bulldogs to "The Big Dance."
