The Aggies started the 2007-08 season ranked 14th in the preseason Coaches Poll . Once the season progressed , they won the 2007 NIT Season Tip-Off to extend their winning streak to 7 – 0 . Their first loss of the season came to unranked Arizona . After the Arizona game , they would then win eight straight home games against unranked opponents . Team performance spiraled down once conference play had begun , losing to three straight unranked teams — at Texas Tech , at Michael Beasley-led Kansas State , and at home to Baylor in a 5-overtime classic . The Aggies would post wins at their next five matchups , including one over the 10th-ranked rival Texas Longhorns and three away games . They then regressed , losing to Oklahoma State and Nebraska at home . Another high point came when they defeated Texas Tech 98 – 54 at home , matching their highest margin of victory in school history ( set in 1959 against Texas ) . The Aggies regressed once again , this time losing 64 – 37 at Oklahoma . After the blowout , the Aggies were able to revenge Baylor in Waco , though came back home to lose their final regular season game to eventual national champion Kansas to finish the season at 8 – 8 in conference play . The team received a No. 6 bid to the Big 12 tournament , defeating Iowa State and Kansas State in the first two rounds , but lost to Kansas again in the semifinals . With their 24 – 10 record after the Big 12 tournament , the Aggies received a No. 9 at-large bid to the West Regional of the NCAA tournament . In the first round , they defeated 8th-seeded BYU 67 – 62 at Anaheim . In the second round , they faced UCLA at the same site , though allowed them to escape with a close 51 – 49 win . The Aggies finished the season with a 25 – 11 record . The 25 wins matches the record for most wins by a first-year coach at a Big 12 school , set by former Texas coach Tom Penders in the 1988 – 89 season
