After a resurging 2023-24 season, Joni Taylor and her Texas A&M Aggies are ready to head back to the NCAA tournament and win the program its second-ever women's basketball championship.

After a dismal 2022-23 season that still saw the 9-20 Aggies make it to the quarterfinal round of the SEC tournament, last year proved to be a turnaround. Texas A&M went 19-13, starting out 12-1 before struggling in conference play with a 6-10 record. The Aggies would make it into the NCAA tournament, losing a close game to the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the first round.
