Aggie Mens Basketball defeated the Oklahoma State Cowboys 76-64. The Aggies move to 17-5 and 3-4 in Bog XII play. A&M avenges its Big XII opener loss to the pokes in Stillwater on January 10th of this year. Their next opponent is OU in Norman on 4 February 2009 at 8:00 pm.
7th Ranked Aggie Womens Basketball took on the Kansas Jayhawks and had to come from behind to win 73-60. The Aggies improve to 17-3 overal and 5-2 in Big XII play. The Jayhawks lead at half and the Aggies didnt not rally to take the lead until after 10 minutes left in the second half. But a win's a win's a win. The women take on the Cyclones (with Cy the Cyclone winning the Capital One Mascot of the Year, even though they didnt qualify for a bowl) of Iowa State next on Wednesday 4 February 2009 at 7:00 pm.
Then in Indoor Track and Field the Big XII beat the SEC (Mens 332-279 and Womens 359-226) in a dual meet with the help of several Aggies winning their respective events. Junior Porscha Lucas lowered her world and collegiate leading mark in the 200 meter sprint to 23.38. It was interesting though because A&M would have won an event by a long shot (like with Christina Munoz in the 5000) and then have a runner finish dead last. Also I want to know how big the track team is actually because when they were introduced at the Basketball game against OU they seemed to cover the whole floor. In spite of our first and last place finishes and having 1/3 of the student body on the track team, being able to go to the meet in the brand new Gilliam Indoor Center was truly amazing and I know Mr. Caruso and the Athletic Department Staff will do a wonderful job hosting the Men's and Women's NCAA Indoor Track and Field Competitions in March.
