Texas A&M forgets jerseys at hotel, forces delay in game vs. Florida
Texas A&M got off to a poor start in its conference-opening tilt against Florida on Wednesday before the game even tipped off.
The Aggies forgot their jerseys at the team's hotel, forcing a slight delay from the scheduled start time as they went to be retrieved.
Texas A&M and Florida are in delay. Why you ask? That’s a very good question.

As a result of the gaffe, Texas A&M was given a technical foul, awarding Florida a free throw ahead of action beginning. Therefore, the Gators had a lead before the game even began.
The shocking error comes in what has been a tough start to the campaign for head coach Buzz Williams and the Aggies. They sit at 8-5 with no wins against KenPom top-100 opponents and a pair of losses to Murray State and Wofford.
