Its getting LOUD in Ball Arena. Yale just cut the Aggie lead to 6. First-year Riley Fox has hit 2 massive threes off the bench.

Yale getting a boost from the Michigan fans who have begun filing into Ball Arena for the Mich game after this one. Wolverines fans rooting for Yale. Danny Wolf’s parents cheering loudly as well.

Yale just can't seem to get back in this game. Aggies always have an answer. Two straight layups off offensive rebounds and a three put Texas A&M up by 11.

Things starting to fall apart for the Bulldogs now as Nick Townsend misses two free throws and Samson Aletan smokes a layup. Meanwhile the Aggies continue to get easy buckets inside. Aggies up by 15.

Pressure from Yale forces turnover

If Yale goes on to lose, it will be largely because they’ve had no answer for Pharrell Payne. The Aggies big man has 23 points.

I’m excited to announce I’ll be serving as The Battalion’s editor-in-chief for the Fall 2025 semester. The Batt is a large part of why I came to Texas A&M in the first place, and I couldn’t be more excited to lead the newspaper at such a pivotal moment.
