WHO HAS NEXT
With their loss to Western New Mexico last Saturday, the Aggies mathematically fell out of contention for a spot in the conference tournament. Even if they were to win all three games this week, and Texas A&M-Kingsville, currently in the last spot at 5-9, lost their remaining two games, the Javelinas would still have a better win percentage because of them playing three less games this conference season.
