The curtain just came down on the Texas A&M men’s basketball season as the Ags fell 58-51 to St. Joseph’s in the quarterfinals of the NIT.
Still, I have to feel good about a team that, under the tutelage of new coach Billy Gillispie, improved from 7-20 (0-16 in Big 12 play) to 21-10, 8-8 in conference. Add to that not one but two post-season victories, a huge milestone for a program that hadn’t seen an NCAA or NIT win since 1982.
Thanks, Ags, it’s been a fun ride. Can’t wait ’til next year.
