ISO Spotlight: What's wrong with Texas A&M?

For years, Texas A&M was one of the state's most consistent programs. Gary Blair's team won an NCAA title in 2011 and made it to the tournament 15 times in his 19 seasons—and one of those misses was the COVID year, when the Aggies would have advanced after going 22-8.

But Blair's final season saw the team finish 14-15, the first under .500 season in College Station since Blair's first campaign in 2004. It was a mess last year—with the team's best bigs from the previous season gone, A&M rolled out a lot of undersized, four-guard lineups, and nothing really meshed.
