Gonzaga-Washington, Michigan-UConn and Syracuse-Charlotte make up the other three opening games. The Aggies and Zags were the only two participants ranked in ESPN's latest preseason top 25 — A&M and No. 25 and Gonzaga at No. 11.

The tournament's natural marketing ploy follows the announcement that the A&M and Texas baseball programs have scheduled each other in 2016 and the continued angst over the football series' hiatus, including comments from Kevin Sumlin and Charlie Strong about the rivalry's return.

Me too. I couldn't imagine them doing this either. What are we? Rivals with them or something?

Only if the horns are still suffering from jet lag doing the China to Austin to Bahamas road trip over a period of about a week and a half and don't actually show up. Otherwise should be a good game!

I hope this team beats tu this time. I still have a sour taste over our final b-ball season in the BDF.

Not sure if it will end up meaning anything, but I like that the players are amped about the matchup
