Billy Kennedy and his Texas A&M men’s basketball team will conduct a full practice as part of the Academy schedule. Since taking the reins of the program, Coach Kennedy has guided Texas A&M to an SEC title and three trips to the postseason, highlighted by a run to the 2016 Sweet 16 which matched the school’s deepest run in the NCAA Tournament.
Also, on Saturday morning at 11:00 AM, the Aggie Women’s Basketball Team will have a Defensive Practice. While not part of the Academy, coaches that get into town early are welcome to attend.
