History

Women's basketball at Texas A&M debuted in the 1974-75 season. The program had not reached the postseason tournament until 1994, when it went to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament. In 1995, they won the WNIT championship. In 1996, they were the SWC Champions and went to the First Round of the NCAA tournament. Since then, the team had not achieved much notable postseason success until the hiring of Gary Blair before the 2003-04 season. In the 2004-05 season, Blair took his team to the WNIT quarterfinals. In the 2005-06 season, the team advanced to the NCAA First Round. In the 2006-07 season, the team won the Big 12 regular season championship, and advanced to the NCAA Second Round. The 2007-08 team finished 8th in the AP Poll, the highest in team history. It also received the highest seed in the NCAA tournament out of all five appearances, and finished in the Elite Eight. On March 29, 2011, Texas A&M defeated Baylor to advance to the program's first ever Final Four appearance.

At the Final Four, the Aggies defeated Stanford 63-62 and Notre Dame 76-70 to win their first national championship. Gary Blair became the first male coach other than Connecticut's Geno Auriemma to win a women's basketball national championship since Leon Barmore led Louisiana Tech to the 1988 championship.
