After what was an extremely disappointing year following a regular-season SEC Championship in 2015-2016, the Texas A&M Basketball team stumbled to an opening-round blowout loss to Vanderbilt in the SEC Tournament last week. With the magic and aura of the team that pulled off one of the biggest upsets in sports history to advance to the Sweet Sixteen all but gone, it looked as though the Aggies’ hope for playing in any kind of postseason action this year was slim at best.
So they have accepted a bid to play in the CGI Tournament.
“It’s just what it sounds like,” says CGI President Herb Barklewater, a development entrepreneur with a background in online distribution and chain restaurant apps.
