2015–16 Texas A&M Aggies men's basketball team

The team had a 21–12 (11–7 in conference play) record and entered the SEC Tournament as the 5th seed after losing two games to end conference play, where it lost to Auburn. The team earned an NIT bid as a No. 2 seed (despite making noise for a bid to the NCAA Tournament which was silenced after a losing skid at the end of the season) and lost in the 2nd round of the NIT To Louisiana Tech after beating Montana in the first round.
