Texas A&M basketball took a massive jump to No. 18 in the KenPom rankings with a dominant 88-69 win over Oklahoma State at Reed Arena on Thursday night.

The Aggies' performance against the Cowboys will certainly go a long way on Selection Sunday, as they cruised to a 19-point win, shooting a sharp 51.0% from the field and 48.0 from 3-point range. In just his second season at the helm, head coach Bucky McMillan has another outstanding team filled with dangerous shooters in College Station.

Texas A&M improved to 4-0 for the first time since the 2023-24 season, led by four players reaching double-digit points, including outstanding freshman Josh Irving off the bench. Irving put on a show, shooting 4-of-6 for 14 points and 10 rebounds, marking the first double-double of his collegiate career.

Here are some of the best social media reactions to Texas A&M's massive win over Oklahoma State on Thursday night:

Bucky McMillan. The Winter Soldier.

Texas A&M is again an awesome watch under Bucky McMillan. Aggies play fast, loose, and with super confidence. A really good win tonight at home against Oklahoma State.

Can't overstate the importance of Thursday's win over Oklahoma State

Some great stats from the night:
A&M just jumped up 6 spots on KenPom up to No. 18.
First 4-0 start for A&M since 2023-24.
OSU had 20 offensive rebounds but only 15 second chance points. A&M’s defense bent but didn’t break completely.

Texas A&M could be one of the most dangerous teams in college basketball

Texas A&M cruises to a home win over Oklahoma State.
This Aggie team can flat out score it, but did a great job containing OKST today too.

The Aggies have shooters everywhere

This is a really good Texas A&M team. Shooters everywhere, experienced roster, good with defensive rotations and at forcing turnovers.
Feels like the Aggies are being slept on
