Texas A&M University-San Antonio is poised to make history with the debut of basketball programs

SAN ANTONIO – The Texas A&M University-San Antonio women’s and men’s basketball programs are approaching their inaugural season as part of the Red River Athletic Conference with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.

Chris Minner, a proven NAIA basketball coach, was tasked with assembling a women’s roster with enough talent to be immediately competitive.

Through Minner’s connections to the local basketball scene in the San Antonio area, the longtime coach was able to attract some of the region’s most sought-after talent – who were interested in playing basketball close to home.

The Jaguars’ men’s and women’s programs begin their seasons on the hardwood against Southern University in New Orleans on October 28 at 5:30 p.m. at the Texas A&M-San Antonio Recreation Center.
