MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Texas A&M has done its part to set up a Southeast Texas showdown near the banks of the Mississippi River. The ninth-seeded Aggies knocked out eighth-seeded Nebraska 98-83 on Friday night in FedExForum. A&M won its first NCAA Tournament game in six years and first under fifth-year coach Buzz Williams.
