Around Aggieland (2/12)

On Monday’s edition of TexAgs Radio, Kay Naegeli took us Around Aggieland and provided updates on all things Texas A&M as men's basketball and women's basketball both rolled their conference opponents and the diamond sports get going this week.

The Fightin' Texas Aggie men's basketball team stormed past the sixth-ranked Tennessee Volunteers, 89-69, on Saturday night to improve to 15-8 and 6-4 in the SEC. 

Next up, at Vanderbilt on Feb. 13 at 6 p.m.

Women’s basketball
Texas A&M left no room for doubt to notch its second consecutive win on the road with Sunday's 61-44 trouncing. Janiah Barker, Endyia Rogers, and Aicha Coulibably combined for 41 points to help the Aggies hit .500 in the conference.

The victory marked Texas A&M’s first back-to-back SEC road wins since the 2020-21 season.

Track & Field
Lamara Distin dominated the women’s high jump on the final day of the Tiger Paw Invitational, solidifying her position as the No. 1 high jumper in the nation and ranking third in the world.

Distin stole the show in the women's high jump as she cleared 1.97m/6-5.5 to capture the nation’s leading mark. Her jump ranks her No. 1 in the country, third in the world and it broke the Clemson Indoor Track facility record.
