The college basketball offseason is here, and we decided to have some fun over the next few months, ranking ALL 364 teams in D1. Number 354 is East Texas A&M basketball.
Before you say we’re crazy – or that all of this is up for debate, let’s go over the very intricate process of how we came to this conclusion. We took a very statistical approach – with the help of Chat GPT – taking into consideration everything from March Madness wins and finishes, to AP Poll appearances, to conference players of the year. And then, a good friend of ours, Scott Blanchard, took our approach to the MAX.

Overall scoop on East Texas A&M basketball
Through four years, East Texas A&M has been nowhere near the Texas A&M Aggies, as the Lions have only averaged 10.5 wins per season, playing in the Southland.
Years one and two were very similar, winning 13 games and losing 20. Year three saw a major dip, as they went just 5-26. But they went 11-21 last year, sort of turning it around.
Head coach Jaret von Rosenberg took over in 2017 and led the Lions to back-to-back NCAA Tournaments at the DII level.
It’s also worth noting that they were previously known as Texas A&M-Commerce and only became East Texas A&M in 2024.
