The NCAA Tournament selection committee awarded Penn a 14 seed and sent the Quakers to Lexington to face Texas A&M on Thursday, March 15. The seventh-ranked Aggies went 25-6 this season, finishing as regular season runner-up in the Big 12 at 13-3. Texas A&M is led by Acie Law IV — one of the top players in the nation with averages of 17.9 points and 5.3 assists per game. Game times will be announced Monday.

Slant: Despite the two upsets, Penn still found itself with a disappointing seed and a tough matchup against a very strong opponent for the second straight season. Texas A&M is excels at both ends of the court and is a strong Final Four candidate. The Aggies rank ninth nationally in offensive efficiency at 1.15 points per possession and third in the nation defensively at 0.89 points allowed per possession.
