the boys have some big out of conference matchups!
11/26 #23 Clemson
12/22 @ #14 Washington
how do you ballers think A&M will do this year? (cap'nmike, you aren't allowed to post in this thread unless you say nice things)

I think they're much weaker than last year after losing elonu and carter. I don't trust Sloan or Roland to carry the scoring load since neither is very consistent. BJ Holmes is really the only good shooter on the squad, although Walkup has steadly improved each year. Need big seasons out of B. Davis and Loubeau and solid contributions from Hibbert and Harris to make a push.
I think they can finish as high as 4th in conference but it will be difficult. This is a big year for Turgeon to show he can have his team play consistent basketball, something he has yet to do. I love the challenging schedule but it could definitely backfire and break this team early on.

those are big losses, i don't think they are much weaker...but weaker, yes. going to depend on the youngsters and how much they can contribute. although, i disagree about sloan...i think he's ready. i expect a big year from loubeau and shooting could be an issue all year...
i think they could be good...but maybe not 4th even. tough to say.
elonu was a big loss indeed. the aggies had size for a few seasons and now they have to wait until next year to get some in (they have some nice commits for next season). i agree that 4th or 5th in the conference is a nice goal and maybe a shot at the NCAA. two double digit wins to start but against lackluster teams (a win at SMU last night).

I thought Sloan would step it up last year and he was still really inconsistent. He has all the skills to take on the scoring load, so I'm hoping he can deliver especially if Turgeon uses him more as an off guard with BJ Holmes at point.
The team is definitely capable of beating the top Big 12 teams when they're on.
Thompson

Supposedly Ray Turner is close to being approved by the NCAA (academic problems, I think). We'll need him; Elonu leaving could really hurt us. The only 'bigs' who are actually playing are Davis and Loubeau (both around 6'9"); we have a 7'1" guy (James Blasczyk) who redshirted last year to put on some weight, but I guess he isn't any good because we really need more size and he hasn't played yet.
Next year we have 4-5 big guys coming in (one of them would have come this year but had his own academic problems). We could really use them now, I wish Elonu hadn't left a year early. Wish him the best, of course, but dang.

nice win against the gophers so 2 wins against 3 ranked teams in a 4 day span and a good game against another as well.
this may not be the most talented a&m team but it is the smartest and most disciplined. popovich was right when he said turgeon would get the aggies to play defense as he has certainly got them doing that well. and as a reward they sneak into the top 25.

Do you guys think BJ Holmes should be starting or keep him as the spark plug off the bench?
Either way, the progress he's made is impressive and he made some clutch layups against the Gophers. Can't believe he missed those FTs at the end but whatever. He's been pretty lights out otherwise. Dash Harris drives me crazy as the primary ball handler.

in his all 2 years at a&m he has advanced to the second round of the NCAA twice and at wichita state his team got to the third round in 2006.
at that point in the tourney his teams just lose to more talented ones.

It should be noted that his Wichita State Sweet 16 Team was sandwiched by 3 seasons with nothing short of MONUMENTAL collapses down the stretch.
But it does look like he's kicked that trend.

OSU went to the 2nd round last year #1 they were awful and #2 at OSU that's nothing to cheer about.
Different expectations, I guess.

OSU has been a great basketball program for years while a&m had to endure the year of tony barone and melvin watkins as coaches. gillespie got them back on track and turgeon has continued to do well. he has made the tourney twice, got to the 2nd round twice and has his system getting into place. he is also recruiting very well to boot.

Zips played some good defense and their 7 footer exposed our lack of size for awhile. Nice win at home against a quality mid major opponent. Would've wished they'd kept up the intensity after going up 11 early, but they closed out the game right. Harris probably had his best all around game with great d and he dished out 8 assists.
Walkup's progress has been a really nice surprise this season. He should glimpses last year, especially hitting the game winner against Arizona, but now he's playing his role as well as anyone on the team.

I had to stop watching for a while after the back-to-back turnovers due to the full court press. Why didn't we do that? It was very effective against us.
Well, we're still ranked. And Ray Turner was academically cleared by the NCAA, hopefully by the end of the year we'll have a little more depth in the front court (we'll need it).

The Lobos are pretty decent this year. I wish they'd start up an annual game with the Aggies. Turgeon likes talking smack about how he doesn't respect the UNM program...it's been in the papers here, and Steve Alford definitely uses it as bulletin board material. Funny part is that Turgeon kept it up after the game was over.

Love him or hate him, it's undeniable that Turg is a whiner.
2 years ago, he complained that KSU had a week to prepare for A&M when the Cats won big, then a couple weeks later he compalined that A&M's week layoff to prepare for an opponent made them flat.

It's a real shame to see Roland go out like that during his senior year. Hopefully, the team can come together and eventually refocus.

Is it just me, or was our team offense way, way, way better when Acie Law was here? I remember that team making laser passes all over the court, finding the open man every possession.
Our current offense seems to consist of frenetic dribbling, getting into trouble and throwing risky passes (frequently turnovers), and one-on-one play. I can hardly stand watching it. That Acie Law offense was what won me over to college basketball; I don't think I'd ever seen a better passing team in my life.
I hope Roland is ok, Sloan really looked torn up about him. I guess the 'silver lining,' if there is one, is that our younger guys will get some much-needed experience for next year, when we lose Sloan, Roland and Davis.

Absolutely a terrible thing that happened to Roland. I always respected the way he played and carried himself on the court. I feel really bad for him and wish him the best in his recovery.
jgw should quit pretending he's a fucking aggie fan after posting that bullshit. Guess he didn't learn shit in his 1 semester at A&M. Maybe he should concentrate on explaining why Joe McKnight is driving a land rover registered to his baby momma's boss around campus.

BJ Holmes should really be starting. He's the best ball handler and shooter, which helps space the floor so Sloan can drive to the hoop. Outside of Holmes, this team lacks a credibile outside threat which allows teams to play off our perimeter guys and hassle our bigs down low. They also lack size which was a strength in previous years.
Definitely will need Middleton, Hibbert, and Harris to step it up. It was good to see Turner play with some energy in his first game. They don't play again for another week and a half, so hopefully Turgeon can get them refocused.

Injury still has me sick to my stomach, not from the visual images, but from the emotional standpoint of watching him improve each year, his closeness to the other seniors on the team, and his improved offensive game to match his tenacious defense. The things on the court will be missed, but he means a lot to the stars and coaches on this team and pulling out a W would have been nice, but it took 2nd place at the 15:00 mark, while the concern for their friend and teammate obviously affected their mental play.
I'm very sad for Roland and hope he could come back by March with rigorous 3 months of healing, but if this is the last we'll see of him on the court, I would love to be there on Senior Day and give him the ovation he, Davis, and Sloan deserve.

I think he was the single most important player on the team (performance wise), which speaks volumes. I was sad and mad when it happened, obviously. So damn frustrating...wish I was on the court.
if he can not come back then perhaps he can get a medical exemption for next year. i seriously doubt he plays again this season.

Judging from the picture of the injury, I'm just hoping he fully recovers without any long term side effects. I think playing basketball is out of the question for the near future.
It would be great if Turgeon gave him a spot as a grad assistant once he graduates. He would be a great guy to have on the sidelines mentoring the other players. Much like BCG kept Chris Walker on his staff when he went to Kentucky.

He jumped under the basket in traffic and when he landed his tibia and fibula in his right leg completely snapped in two and protruded from the leg. It has been said you could hear the snap of the bones throughout the arena. Basically very similar to Joe Theisman's injury in 85 when LT broke him.

Wish the guy all the best. Poured his heart out on the court. They rebroadcast the game again today on FSN and I happened upon it about 10 seconds before the injury - you can definitely hear his leg snap on TV. Made me sick all over again. Last night, I thought the sound was someone hitting the rim or backboard. I think Davis knew immediately... can't imagine how tough it was to finish the game for them. Turg ran out on the court before the play was dead at the other end.

Great game.
Turgeon sucks as a coach, I'm done defending his shittiness. He's downplayed our free throw shooting all season and it costs us yet another game. I don't know what the fuck Dash Harris was doing on the last possession, dribbling out the clock down 3.
James is a fucking beast, that was an awesome 2nd half by him. Sloan played his guts out, really wish someone else from the perimeter would step up and help out with the scoring load.

Nobody in sports is ever unbeatable since these are humans plating and not robots. Pittman needs to regroup and step his game up because he's fading. Bradley and Hamilton both had bad games, more surprising from Bradley. At least they were able to win the game with aggy going full force and bringing it.

We are very beatable.
The team suffers from a few major flaws and as the season progresses teams are making it more and more difficult.
We have no consistent three point shooting and the point guard that runs the offense the most has no ability to shoot any jump shot whatsoever.
So teams are crowding the paint more and more, making it difficult for us to score in the post, and get our offensive rebounds that we depend on.
Jai Lucus instead of Balbay is no better, Lucas is so tiny and unatheletic he can't even begin to find a quality shot for himself. Very unimpressed by him.
The saving grace for this team is Damion James' newfound primacy, and J'Covan's ability to be an x-factor on offense. If Jordan Hamilton can learn to see the floor and not just look for his own shot, it can totally change things though.
Team also looks very flat footed the past two games. It's like they're all fatigued or something...not seeing the spark on defensive pressure we saw to begin the season. However in OT, J'Covan, Avery, and Dogus all looked way more energized than their agg counterparts.
Davis and Sloan played us amazingly. All the credit in the world. I honestly thought we'd blow them out by the 2nd half. But like a broken record, aggies played us the same way thye've been playing us for like 6 years.

It wasn't just on the road it was at HISTORIC GALLAGHER IBA ARENA, home of EDDIE SUTTON COURT. I dug seeing the Sean Sutton Memorial sobriety check right off N. Main St when leaving the arena.
Okie State has more decals and bullshit on their court than any arena I've seen. They somehow managed to one up the numerous O'Reillys and United Spirit decals at Tech.
Okie State shot lights out, especially when the ags were slow to rotate on the perimeter, and we shot too many 3s. Whatever, we'll get'em next time!

That was a great win. Best thing about it was the younger guys, specifically Middleton and Loubeau, really showed some confidence and made clutch plays down the stretch. I think this is one of the better coached games I've seen from Turgeon. He had good rotations and used the proper motivation (sitting all our starters in the 2nd half) to keep the team focused.
The free throw shooting situation is getting out of hand. Props to Sloan and Holmes for hitting some big ones, even though BJ choked away 2 freebies in the final minute.
That Ray Turner dunk was sick.

I wouldn't say BCG is a crap coach, he did elevate the program out of complete nothingness, but he's nothing exceptional. The guy got his players to play hard and for A&M that worked to get the program going. I don't think he's a coach who could reach everyone and that was his problem...he was also a drunk (not as bad as Sean or Eddie Sutton but close).
After ragging on Turgeon, he's completely surprised me. I think we've seen him grow as a coach along with this particular team. They really believe in each other and never panic, which is something they did early in the season. His rotations have been spot on and he's gotten the younger players contributing. I don't expect a win against Kansas, but as long as they stay focused and limit turnovers they should be able to hang around.

turgeon's always shown the ability to gameplan with the best of them. the only question on him was the end-of-season collapses at WSU. it happened to him 3 times in his final 4 years in the Valley (and I'm not talking about just a couple of late losses, these were monumental falling off a cliff finishes). but obviously he has made some adjustments and whatever was a factor then does not appear to be now.
in a league full of stellar coaches, he's definitely in the upper echelon.

A&M needs to avoid an 8/9 seed as much as possible, especially after last season's 2nd round UConn destruction. I think as a 5-7 seed this team is very dangerous and could make the sweet 16.

that being said, A&M was playing well enough in the second half to win by more...

i dont expect the ags to win up in waco... they have had this game circled since we beat them at home, but if we can keep it close then anything can happen. its going to be a pretty hostile crowd so they better win or it could get worse than when the baptism happened. :lol

i certainly don't expect A&M to win, but I expect it to be close. And the Aggs very well could pull the upset...
however, if they do win, its a massive and pivotal win.

Turnovers did us in, especially in the last 5 minutes. I figured they'd lose the game, but they put up a hell of a fight. Gotta win the last 3 games and finish strong.
It's still funny to see Baylor exhibiting any type of school spirit. Scott Drew is Rick Barnes 2.0, great recruiter and mediocre coach. With that talent, Baylor should be a lot better than they are.

I take some exception to this, Barnes is a heck of a coach. He's had some talent at Texas, but people forget that he won at Clemson when they were the armpit of the ACC (and the ACC was still the elite 9 team basketball league) with virtually no NBA talent (unless you count Greg Buckner).
And most of his elite talent at Texas has left him very early. Guys like Durant, Aldridge, Ford, Gibson, and Augustine make headlines, but it's the veteran teams that are cutting down the nets in March every year ('03 Syracuse being an exception).
I don't think there is any doubt that THIS year's squad has underachieved for him a bit, but it's also been exposed as a very flawed team. Virtually none of his role players have provided James with any kind of consistent help. It's tough to cover that with coaching.

74-58, A&M over tu. Hopefully Holmes (ankle?) and Brown are okay. Brown had to be taken out on a stretcher after hitting his head on the floor really hard on an offensive foul on Holmes with about 2 minutes left in the game.

I guess most people figure Texas doesn't have a great shot at beating Baylor in their arena (especially after already losing to the Bears in Austin). You never know, though. It could happen.
I don't remember, what is the advantage of the 3 seed over the 4 seed in the Big 12 tournament? Does it determine home court, or are all the games played at a neutral location?
K-State Spur
03-04-2010, 07:31 AM
all games in KC. 3 probably gets Texas in their first game, 4 is probably looking at Baylor. 3 is probably looking at KSU in the semis. 4 is probably looking at KU.

t.u. could beat baylor, probably not though. And A&M is going to have their hands full on the road @ ou.

Onto the Big 12 tournament, looks like Harris re-injured his wrist. Solid end to the year, 3-1 finish with that schedule is awesome.
Looks like we'll see Baylor or Texas barring any 1st round upsets. I like our chances against either, although I don't see anyone taking out Kansas or KSU with their "home court" advantage.
Edit: I guess a Baylor win means we'd probably get Mizzou.

Lunardi currently has them as a 5. I'd almost prefer them as a 6, because I think they can compete with/beat most of the 2 or 3 seeds in the tourney. As a 5, they'd potentially get a 1 in the 3rd round. I don't want to assume they will get there, but I really think this team has Sweet 16 potential with the right draw.

Unless your name is Baylor.
The Baylor lovefest (pretty much every media outlet's darling sleeper) blows my mind. Their resume is no better than A&M's except for a road win over Texas, and I would argue that a convincing road win over Mizzou, when they had won 32 straight at home, is just as good. Our non-conference wins are much better than theirs as is our schedule, yet they're consistently listed as a 4 seed with the chance to move up. They are a really good team but give me a break.
I don't see A&M getting higher than a 5, unless they beat Kansas and get to the Big 12 final.

My 2 cents since I saw both games live.
1) siena stunk
2) Purdue, like A&M, can go stretches w/out scoring
3) A&M appeared far more athletic than the other 3 teams
4) Utah state missed a ton of 3s they could have made
5) not surprising, dash looked out of rythmn
6) I don't think even Davis knows what hes doing sometimes, but I like his hustle and d
7) usu was really white
8) when sloan was in the game the offense was much smoother, plus nobody can guard him
...what does it all mean? Who knows, this tourney is nuts. But from what I saw, A&Ms got a great chance against Purdue.
