Women's college basketball is in the throes of the conference tournaments. Right now, the SEC Tournament is in full effect. On Wednesday, Texas A&M lost in the first round to Auburn 50-49.
Nevertheless, one of their own made history. In the game, Ny'Ceara Pryor either scored or assisted on 35 of the Agees' 49 points, per ESPN Insights. It was the highest percentage for a player in an SEC Tournament game in 25 years.
Altogether, Pryor finished with 25 points and shot 9 for 17 from the field. As a result, Texas A&M is 14-12 and 7-9 in the SEC. Meanwhile, the Agees are now facing a daunting reality: they may not make the NCAA Tournament and may instead have to settle for the WBIT.
Meanwhile, SEC rival Texas is expected to be the No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, as is South Carolina.
Throughout their history, the Agees have made 18 NCAA Tournament appearances. In 2011, they won the NCAA Championship, defeating Notre Dame 76-70. Additionally, they have won five SEC conference championships.
