Tarleton State started the season strong last weekend as they defeated Rogers State 65-46 last Friday and then won 79-69 over St. Mary’s (Tex.) on Saturday. Kaylee Allen averaged 18.5 points and Katie Webster averaged 13 points and 6.5 boards to lead a Texanns team expected to be a challenger to West Texas in the Lone Star Conference

St. Edward’s had an incredible start to the season last week. The Hilltoppers began the week with a solid 77-76 exhibition win at NCAA DI UTSA before returning home to host two games against teams from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

Gary Blair has something no other coach in the major sports at A&M owns: a national title won at A&M. The 2011 championship will always guarantee Blair a special place in Aggies’ fans hearts – but they also believe it’s high time for another Final Four showing.

Billy Kennedy is a man on a mission – a coach bent on proving Texas A&M won’t careen from the Sweet Sixteen to a trudging dozen.
