==History==
===Metcalf era===
[[Shelby Metcalf]] took over the A&M basketball program in [[1963]]. His impact was immediate, winning the Southwest Conference with a 13-1 conference record for Texas A&M's first title in 13 years. In his 26 years as head coach at Texas A&M, he won six Southwest Conference titles, two Southwest Conference tournament titles, and led A&M to six NCAA Tournament and four NIT appearances. He was fired by former A&M football player and then-athletic director [[John David Crow]] after coaching 19 games of the 1989-1990 season. When asked by the media what happened between the two, Metcalf remarked, "I made a comment that I didn't think John David was all that bright. And I thought I was being generous." Shelby finished his career at A&M with an overall record of 438-306, making him the all-time winningest men's basketball coach in Southwest Conference history.

==="The Dark Ages"===
After Metcalf was fired, A&M went through the next fourteen years making only one postseason appearance (1994 NIT), finished at .500 or above in conference play only twice, and posted an overall record of .500 or above only twice. John Thornton finished out the 1990 season as head coach after Metcalf was fired. Soon after, Kermit Davis, Jr. was hired prior to the 1990-1991 season. He was fired after posting a record of 8-21 and it was revealed that he committed recruiting violations. Tony Barone was hired from [[Creighton University|Creighton]] in 1991 to replace Davis. Barone lasted seven years as head coach of the program, finishing below .500 six times. It was in 1994 that he finished with a 10-4 league record for 2nd place in the Southwest Conference and was invited to the NIT. After Barone finished last in the Big 12 Conference in 1998, [[Melvin Watkins]] was hired out of [[University of North Carolina at Charlotte|UNC-Charlotte]]. While a good recruiter, Watkins never finished above seventh in the Big 12. He was dismissed after going winless (0-16) in conference play in 2004.

===Gillispie era===
The current head coach of the program, [[Billy Gillispie]], was hired out of [[University of Texas at El Paso|UTEP]] after leading the Miners to an NCAA Tournament appearance and having the largest turnaround of any team in the nation, from 6-24 in 2002-03 to 24-8 in 2003-04. The Aggies, though picked by Big 12 coaches to finish last in the conference, immediately improved under Gillispie, winning their first 10 games and finishing at 21-10, 8-8 in conference. Along the way, the team defeated ranked, in-state rivals [[University of Texas at Austin|Texas]] and [[Texas Tech University|Texas Tech]]. The team earned an NIT bid, Texas A&M's first postseason in 11 years, reaching the quarterfinals of the tournament.
 
==={{flagicon| BRA}} [[Juan Mott]] vs. {{flagicon| JPN}} [[Akira Shoji]]===
Gillispie's second year featured further improvement, with the Aggies defeating three ranked opponents in [[University of Colorado at Boulder|Colorado]], Texas, and [[Syracuse University|Syracuse]]. The team finished with a league record of 10-6 and a win in the Big 12 Tournament, Texas A&M's first since the conference first began play in 1996-97. The Aggies reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1987 as a 12-seed, upsetting fifth-seed Syracuse in the first round. The Aggies fell in the second round to [[Louisiana State University|LSU]].
Shoji defeated Mott by submission (Rear Naked Choke) at 3:47 of round 1.
