Volleyball makes first Final Four with upset of Nebraska

Nebraska was the top seed in the NCAA Volleyball Tournament, with a 33-0 record. They had only lost seven sets all season and just one since Sept. 16. They cruised through the Big Ten with little trouble in 2025 and hadn’t lost at home since 2022.

Another trip to the Final Four, being held this year in Kansas City, simply required them to beat visiting third-seeded Texas A&M on their home court Sunday.

That trip won’t be happening, as the Aggies (27-4) stunned the Cornhuskers (33-1) 3 sets to 2 (25-22, 25-22, 18-25, 35-37, 15-13) to win the regional final and punched their first ticket to the Final Four in program history.

Coach Jamie Morrison, who said his team “wasn’t afraid” of Nebraska during his Saturday press conference, saw his team pick up where they left off Friday night when they executed a reverse sweep on second-seeded Louisville to win 3-2 (23-25, 22-25, 25-23, 25-18, 15-12). The Aggies, who have only lost once in their last 16 matches, taking the first two sets from a team that hadn’t lost one since Nov. 14 — a span of eight matches.

After an epic fourth set, the Aggies jumped out to an early lead in the fifth and held off a Nebraska comeback to take the final set with Logan Lednicky’s kill to finish the biggest upset in college volleyball this season.

Lednicky was named the Regional Most Outstanding Player, while Maddie Waak, Kyndal Stowers (a team-high 25 kills Sunday) and Ava Underwood joined her on the All-Regional Team.

The Aggies, who were a third seed in the tournament, will play another number one seed, Pitt (30-4), Thursday night at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City.

Basketball blows out Jacksonville 112-75

The Texas A&M basketball team got back on track Sunday evening with a demolition of visiting Jacksonville at Reed Arena.

The Aggies (8-3) started the game on a 23-9 run and things only got more one-sided, as A&M was up 51-26 at the half. The lead reached as high as 49 when Mackenzie Mgbako (13 points) made three free throws to make the score 93-44 with 9:19 left in the game.

Every Aggie on the roster save one scored at least one basket, with guard Rylan Griffin leading A&M with 19 points (5 of 6 from 3-point range) in just 17 minutes. Center Jamie Vinson scored a career-high 14 points, while guard Marcus Hill added 12.

The Aggies shot better than 59% from the field and 48% from 3-point range while forcing 19 turnovers.

Aggies in the NFL

A familiar refrain played in the NFL Sunday as Myles Garrett wreaked havoc and the Cleveland Browns lost anyway. Garrett had 4 tackles and 1.5 sacks agains the Chicago Bears, giving him 21.5 sacks for the season — one off the NFL record held by Michael Strahan and TJ Watt. The Browns repaid his spectacular work by losing 31-3.

Another Texas A&M sack master added to his tally Sunday as well. Washington’s Von Miller had 3 tackles, including a sack, and 2 quarterback hits as Washington beat the New York Giants 29-21. Miller now has sole possession of 12th place on the all-time sacks list.

Jacksonville Jaguars safety Antonio Johnson continues to have the best season of his career, with 5 tackles and 3 passes defensed Sunday against the New York Jets in a 48-20 win. Johnson how has 52 tackles, 2 sacks and 3 interceptions on the season.

Green Bay Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper had 8 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, a pass defensed and a fumble recovery in a 34-26 loss to Denver.

Dallas Cowboys safety Donovan Wilson had 3 tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in a 34-26 loss to Minnesota.

Carolina Panthers defensive end Nic Scourton had one tackle and half a sack while defensive tackle Bobby Brown III had three tackles and half a sack in a 20-17 loss to New Orleans.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson had a pair of tackles in a 24-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
