The 5th seed Texas A&M Aggies will face the 12th seed Utah State Aggies in the first round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament. March Madness 2010 kicks off on Thursday, but this game will not be played until Friday March 19th.
Texas A&M Aggies appear to be the stronger team on paper with an RPI Rank of 13, and an AP rank of 23rd in the nation. The Texas A&M Aggies have history on their side too. In 2009 the Aggies were ousted in the second round, and the Texas A&M Coach Mark Turgeon is 4-3 in the NCAA Tournament.
The Utah State Aggies have more March Madness appearances then Texas A&M, however they have less tournament wins. The Utah State Aggies RPI rank is also a 30 and they do not have an AP rank. The Utah State Aggies coach, Stew Morrill is 1-7 in the NCAA tournament.
However you can throw out all of the information above on Friday when both of these teams will battle to keep their March Madness hopes alive. In my bracket I chose the Texas A&M Aggies to move on to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
