They lost in the conference tournament championship game in 2006, 2007, and 2008 before winning the WAC title in 2015 and 2016. The Aggies have won regular season titles in 1987 (shared), 1988, 1995, 2003 (West Division, shared), 2015, and 2016. They made the WNIT in 1994 and 2010. They have lost in the first game of all four NCAA Tournaments they have played in (with a second round appearance in 1988 due to a bye).
