The Texas A&M Aggies were routed by the Oklahoma Sooners in the SEC tournament, losing by 20 points. Despite the blowout defeat, the Aggies are still expected to receive an at-large bid to the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

Why it matters

Texas A&M had a strong regular season and was looking to build momentum heading into the NCAA Tournament. The lopsided loss to Oklahoma raises questions about the Aggies' chances of making a deep run in the Big Dance, but their overall body of work this season should still be enough to secure an NCAA Tournament berth.

The details

The Aggies struggled mightily against the Sooners, falling behind early and never mounting a serious comeback. Oklahoma dominated the game on both ends of the floor, taking advantage of A&M's poor shooting and sloppy play. The loss was a disappointing end to the Aggies' conference tournament run, but they are still expected to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament based on their regular season performance.
