Texas A&M (22-10) enters the first round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament with a strong, balanced roster, showcasing solid defense and a gritty style of play. The Aggies rely on their physicality and depth to wear down opponents, and they’ll look to control the tempo against Yale. With a focus on offensive rebounding (No. 1 in the nation) and fast breaks, Texas A&M will try to overpower the Bulldogs in the paint while locking down defensively.
The champions of the Ivy League, Yale (22-7), on the other hand, comes into the matchup with a sharp, efficient offense that thrives on smart ball movement and perimeter shooting. Yale is outstanding at cleaning the boards and limiting their opponents to a single attempt. The Bulldogs will need to be sharp from beyond the arc and make the most of any opportunities to catch Texas A&M off guard. If Yale can control the tempo and avoid getting caught up in a physical battle, they might be able to pull off a surprise and advance past the Aggies.
