The Aggies’ non-conference schedule was a joke but they were able to beat Texas at home late in the regular season and smoke Colorado in an “elimination game” in the Big XII tournament. As one of the lowest seeded At-Large teams they have been determined to be one of the “Last Teams In”. G Acie Law IV is the best player named "Acie" since Acie Earl led Iowa in the late 80's. He is no A.C. Green though and hopefully no A.C. Cowlings. Law and Jones seem to be the only contributors and the national prognosticators aren’t giving them much chance against the Orange. They also don’t play well against zone defense. This factors to be a first round W for Syracuse.
