ANN ARBOR -- Texas A&M, a 7 seed, is the underdog in Thursday's Sweet 16 matchup with Michigan. But the Aggies are a big, talented bunch that was ranked fifth in the country earlier this season. Whether they can pull off a second straight upset will depend on -- stop me if you've heard this before -- how they handle Michigan's Moritz Wagner.
Texas A&M is 22-12 overall after beating Providence last Friday and 2 seed North Carolina on Sunday. The Aggies finished 9-9 in the SEC, tied for seventh. They experienced some turmoil in their backcourt -- one player was lost for the season because of injury, another was kicked off the team -- but rode potential lottery pick Robert Williams to early-season neutral-site wins over West Virginia, Oklahoma State, and Penn State.
