Texas A&M Men's Basketball rises to No. 16 in AP poll

Texas A&M blew out No. 11 West Virginia in Germany on Friday and was promptly given a boost in the Associated Press Poll as a reward. The Aggies rose nine spots from No. 25 to No. 16 and find themselves knocking on the door of the top 15.

With the leap, the Aggies jumped over West Virginia. The Mountaineers nearly fell out of the poll and sit at No. 24. A&M is one of three SEC programs ranked in the top 25. The Aggies sit behind No. 7 Kentucky and No. 8 Florida.
