Arkansas and Texas .. wuh oh!


That is a 2/26/06 projection. It will change gotta make room for FSU and aTm. CU is toast now, so they are gone. t.u. as Big XII Champ far from a lock.

[Brutalis]

i know.

but Arkansas will more than likely be a 9 seed at worse unless they do well in the SEC Tourny in which they will be a 3-6 depending on if they win it all. we have beaten the sec's "best 2 teams" not counting LSU because my god we had them beat, remember that thread about putting in a freshman with seconds left just to brick free throws to put them away? if we had beaten them we'd be a locked 6 seed right now.

anyways. i would love to see a texas/arkansas matchup. knowing texas will be a 1 or 2 seed its a fine chance arkansas gets matched in the same region considering the animosity that surrounds the schools playing eachother and the ratings would be through the roof.

[hussker]

I would not count the Pigs out of the SEC Championship possibility. They are the peaking team in the SEC and have been for the past 3 weeks. I think KU wins the Big XII Tournament, though t.u. has the better team.

In March, too many play NOT to lose rather THAN to win.

[hussker]

AND...t.u. could drop to a 3 or 4

[Brutalis]

Yeah we are peaking at the best time. A first round exit would crush us though in the SEC tourny.

What has me the most exited... we are only losing Modica and Fergeson, and Dontell Jefferson after this year. Modica was great, we will miss him but Fergy and Dontell aren't anything but average. We have the current #22 recruiting class coming in with only 3 guys.. and the word around the SEC is how underrated it really is. PF Michael Washington is a 5 star stud prepping in Mississippi. He turned down Texas, Florida, UConn, Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, UNC and Oklahoma. JUCO stud SF Sonny Weems is another 5 star and a major grab. Both of them are projected starters. On that list is 4 star G Stefan Welsh from Virginia who is a versitile leaper from Virginia coming to our already studly backcourt. Those are the only ones who signed a LOI as of now.

Our bigs will be juniors next year, in Darian Townes, 7' shot defensive god Steven Hill, Charles Thomas and Steven Hunter. And SEC Player of the year (almost locked) Ronnie Brewer is coming back. I know for a fact with the class coming in, our star guard Brewer and our badass frontcourt we will be in the top 20 preseason next year.

Arkansas hasn't been this exciting for next year in football and basketball in many many years.

I agree, you guys are going to be a force in the future of the SEC. I am excited about Acie and Joseph Jones playing next year here in Aggieland. Yeah, I am a HUSKER, but we never recruit for roundball. We will be in the NIT annually. I think the last time we got the the dance was when we had Tyronn Lue running point and Venson Hamilton in 98. Guess who Beat us in BOISE that year?



YOUR PIGGIES BITCH!!!!!!

[Brutalis]

I remember. :)

[hussker]

I remember. :)


I wish I could forget...I was singing Karaoke at the Cat's Meow in New Orleans and had to live through that shit with my Husker stuff on!

[Brutalis]

That was the team with Derek Hood and Kareem Reid we had I believe.

[Brutalis]

I wish Arkansas and Nebraska would start a 2 year series in football. We need some publicity and not the USC kind.

[Peter]

The Big XII should trade Baylor to the SEC for Arkansas.

[Brutalis]

do You Know How Long I've Been Praying For That Shit To Happen?!??!

[Peter]

Well, it would make sense. Shit, TCU would be an improvement.

[Brutalis]

Man, we'd have so much more success in the Big12 than the SEC too. That'd kick ass. Especially with the team next year.

[Brutalis]

Can't believe I forgot Ramar Smith a 4 star guy. Durn.

You would get huge $$$

[Brutalis]

Any game vrs a historic school such as Nebraska gets $$$ not counting your conference games.

If we could have kept up the dominance in the 80s and 90s maybe we'd be there with ya in fb.

[Horry For 3!]

UAB beat (3)Memphis tonight

[hussker]

UAB beat (3)Memphis tonight


I know..isn't that wild? And again, nothing was made about it like thj Duke and t.u. losses. I do not mean locally, I mean NATIONALLY. Still gotta watch Memphis

[Horry For 3!]

UAB is pretty good, I think they are going to be in the tourney

[hussker]

UAB is pretty good, I think they are going to be in the tourney


They have been projected in as a 12 seed from a week ago

[hussker]

Looks like aTm is getting ZERO love from the Bracket gurus. Two sites, this one and ESPN have them out/off the board. Looks like NIT unless they win a few in the BIG XII tourney. Likely CU in the Quarters adnd t.u. rematch in the semis.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

hussker, a couple of those ESPN hacks are east coast shills. You can't put much stock into what they're saying.

http://www.unf.edu/~jcoleman/dance.htm

These guys have predicted the field at a 94% clip over the last 12 years.

An example of why you can't put much faith in Lunardi and Bilas -

Last night on Gamenight they said we still had work to do, and listed our loss AT Oklahoma State as a bad loss.

Yet for UAB, who they tagged as a lock, they talked about UAB's HOME WIN over Ok. State as a quality win.

So which is it? Also, on Bilas, he got stood up at the alter about 10 years ago by an Aggie woman, so he's got a little bit of a vendetta against us :lol

This bracketography site also has some serious issues. It shows UNC-Wilmington, Syracuse, and Air Force in.

UNC-Wilmington has a horrible strength of schedule (80 spots lower than A&M). Syracuse is 4-6 in its last 10 including a 40 point home loss on Wednesday. Unless they beat Villanova today they're out.

And having AF above us is a joke - weaker RPI, weaker SOS, no real signature wins, weaker conference, etc.

[Horry For 3!]

Some guy on College gameday or something like that last night said he was on the Aggies bubble bandwagon, so they are getting love from atleast one anaylist.

[cecil collins]

AND...t.u. could drop to a 3 or 4
Dumb

[Horry For 3!]

Texas will be a #2

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

tu will be a 2 seed.


Some guy on College gameday or something like that last night said he was on the Aggies bubble bandwagon, so they are getting love from atleast one anaylist.

That was Doug Gottlieb, who used to be PG at Oklahoma State. I still remember when we upset them at Reed when they were #5 in the country. Gottlieb couldn't shoot for shit so we ran a 5 man zone on their other four players and made him shoot jumpers

He ended up 3-17 or something like that and we won. :lol

Digger Phelps also said we're a lock. Bilas is just a east coast shill, I wish someone would kick him in the junk a few times.

[hussker]

Dumb


No. t.u. will liekly go in as a three now

[Horry For 3!]

No. t.u. will liekly go in as a three now
Ehhhhhh. I say 2

[IcemanCometh]

aggy will not make the dance

[cecil collins]

No. t.u. will liekly go in as a three now
Only if they lose today, and lose in the first round of the Big 12 tournament...won't happen.

[cecil collins]

Someone explain to me how calling Texas tu is witty/funny/clever, or anything besides gay and lame.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Vitale's already got his bracket filled out.

:lmao Duke will choke in either the Sweet 16 or Elite 8

It's about as funny as "lOUsy" or "OUsless". It's also about as funny as some Sooners who flash down-'Horns signs at a Nebraska game. No matter what school you are talking about, there are a handful of idiots in the mix to account for.

Yeah, all those are fuckin lame.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Kinda like when you guys talk about Aggies and sheep and all that shit on here, but you still seem to do it. Go figure.

[Willinsa]

After Texas big win today and no slipups in the Big XII tourney will probably be a #2, as for the aggies they need to win aganist CU in the 2nd round. I think losing the 1st game and they are NIT bound.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I think we're in regardless but would rather not give the committee an excuse to leave us out by fucking up Friday.

[cecil collins]

Not I, but I do know what you mean. But if you think it sucks, don't be just like those that disgust you. I don't see scott calling Texas fans t-sips and tu. You don't see me calling you guys faggies. It would be okay if it weren't so lame, but it's your world.

[Jimcs50]

It is amazing how almost everyone says that A&M will still not make it. First they say if the Ags can be 9-7 and win one game in tourney, they will make it, then they say if they beat Texas and that will get them in, then they say that they have to beat TT in Lubbock to get in, now they must win game 1 to get in to make it. What's next, if the win game 1, they will have to win game 2???

They are favoring U of H over A&M because they beat Arizona at Arizona way early in the season, even though they have faded down the stretch.

I thought they look at the hot teams, now they are looking at a win back in December???


Fuck the NCAA selection commitee!

Houston was owning everyone earlier in the season, I don't think they have done that great since.

[Horry For 3!]

My grandpa is big into Houston basketball because he played for Houston for 2 years way back in like the 50s or something. He was the starting C, supposely he was bad ass. I have seen his newspaper cut outs and stuff and in one game in HS he scored 100 pts.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Jim, it's just some talking heads trying to find enough 'facts' to put us down. Thankfully (I think) that the committee doesn't get caught up in all of that.

Yeah my bad, after a rivalry game (Wed.) it takes me a few days to come back down :lol

Also, to those U of H fans, and pundits, the Aggies kicked their ass last year with the same teams.
