The Aggies entered the tournament as a No. 7 seed in the Midwest region with a matchup against No. 10 seed Penn State, who lost in the Big 10 championship against No. 1 seed Purdue.
The game will take place at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa on Thursday, March 16.

For Williams, this will be his ninth appearance in the NCAA Tournament. His furthest run came in the 2012-13 season as the head coach of Marquette. In that tournament, he led the Golden Eagles all the way to the Elite Eight.
