Following a disappointing end to the season that saw the Texas A&M softball team get swept by Alabama and then immediately go one-and-done at the SEC Tournament, it was clear that although the Aggies were basically a lock for the postseason, they needed some rest. After all, a road trip immediately followed by another is probably quite exhausting.
A week ago, the Aggies were picked as the 15th overall seed and a regional host in the regional round of the NCAA Tournament. They got Prairie View A&M, McNeese State and Baylor in their field. Turns out, the Aggies really needed that roughly two weeks of rest after the grinding end of the regular season.
