College Station, Texas, March 4, 2024 – The Texas A&M men’s Basketball team takes on the Ole Miss Rebels for their last regular season game of the 2023-24 National Collegiate Athletic Association – Men (NCAAM) season unless the Aggies pursue the March Madness tournament. The March Madness bracket will not be revealed until March 17th at 5 PM.

The Aggies have brought on a 7-9 record this season, with Wade Taylor IV leading the team. Wade Taylor IV averages about 18.2 points per game and spends about 32.7 minutes on the court out of the 40 regulation minutes. Texas A&M has had a rough season for the 2023-24 season. However, according to the NCAA team rankings, the Aggies currently hold third place for rebounds per game and first in offensive rebounds per game. 

Even though the men’s basketball team has not had their best season, ranking 10th in the SEC, the Aggies continue to Pack Reed. “Packing Reed,” starting out as memes across social media, has been a fun and encouraging experience to get the 12th man to appear at more games. Texas A&M senior, Caleb Morales, says, “Words can not explain it… it’s packed. Packing Reed is something I look forward to every game day, the energy is unmatched, and it’s hard to find words to describe the atmosphere there.” 

Therefore, Aggies, let’s gather together for the last official game of the 2023-24 regular season to cheer on our men’s basketball team at Reed Arena on Saturday, March 9th, 2024, at 1 PM.
