All eight of the top-seeded college basketball teams survived into the Sweet 16, marking only the fifth time since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. 

The Texas A&M Aggies made it tough for the top-seeded Houston Cougars. The Aggies erased a double-digit deficit to force the Cougars into overtime, but stalled in OTto fall to a 100-95 loss in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Sunday night at FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee.

The Aggies finish the season at 21-15 with an attitude of gratitude. 

“It shows how resilient we were all season,” Wade Taylor IV said of the Aggies' comeback. “We were in a position a lot this season as far as being counted out and still fighting to get back to the top.

"I’m so proud of our guys for staying in there, hanging in there.”

Taylor IV scored 21 and pulled in a career-high seven rebounds. Graduate guard Tyrece Radford led all Aggies with 27 points and a career-high 15 boards along with six assists.

There is still a lot of basketball to be played to determine the 2024 National Champion. All four No. 1 seeds and are alive with UConn, Purdue and North Carolina rolling through the first two rounds. The four No. 2 seeds also survived to the Sweet 16. Game times are below.
