Some people believe in poltergeists. Others believe in superstition. Everyone thinks that U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has some bad cosmic powers when it comes to rooting for Texas sports teams, especially when he is in attendance for games. The latest victim of the "Ted Cruz Curse"?

After taking down a No. 2 seed and No. 1 seed in their side of the bracket, the Aggies took down another No. 1 seed Thursday night, downing Pitt in three sets.
