Things really turned around for Coach Peak in his fifth year. The Lions won 20 games for the first time since 1989, and tied for first in the LSC with an 11-3 conference record. A&M-Commerce assembled win streaks of five, eight, and three games, and despite losing to Central Oklahoma in the first round of the LSC Championships, advanced to the playoffs for the first time 1978. Unfortunately the Lions lost in the first round of the NCAA Regionals, dropping 89-86 in overtime to Central Missouri. This was th
e first NCAA tournament appearance in school history.

Jason Hall cracked the 500-point ceiling in 1995, leading the Lions in scoring with 531 points. He averaged 21.24 points per game. He was second on the team in rebounds with 168, and led in steals with 70. Charles Ward led in rebounding with 177 boards, and in blocks with 18.

Hall was named LSC MVP and First Team All-LSC. Ward snagged his second consecutive Second Team All-LSC honor, and Tim Cleveland earned his third consecutive All-Academic honor. Jimmy Foster was given an Honorable Mention All-Academic spot, and Paul Peak was named LSC Coach of the Year.
