Aggies crash Final Four filled with past winners

COLLEGE STATION, Texas � As a second seed, the Texas A&M Aggies are no Cinderella in their first Final Four.

But in a field with Connecticut, Notre Dame and Stanford, the Aggies are probably the team most would call the underdog.

They knocked off top-seeded Baylor in the Dallas Regional to become the only team remaining that hasn't already been to a Final Four. What's more, each of the other three teams have won it all at least once.

The Aggies aren't daunted by the challenge, nor are they content at simply getting to Indianapolis.

They want much more and as coach Gary Blair returns to the Final Four for the first time since he took Arkansas in 1998, he likes his chances with what he calls his best team ever.

Texas A&M plays Stanford on Sunday night.
