No road wins since 2006

A&M will never lose a game at that arena their fans get too loud whenever those faggy looking guys dressed in white do their hand signals.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Oklahoma State, fighting to break out of a 19-game road losing streak, had a lead on Texas A&M on Saturday and a victory in sight.

But then came those same little mistakes that had helped build the streak in the first place. An OSU turnover, followed by another, followed by an Aggie fast break to tie it up.

"I had already counted it,” Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon said. "I was looking at the clock to see how much time was left to see how the possessions would go.”

Not so fast.

Terrel Harris came streaking down the court to block a layup by A&M's Donald Sloan and save the day. Final score — OSU 59, No. 16 Texas A&M 54.

"I thought I was the last man back,” OSU's Marcus Dove said. "I looked behind and I just seen (Sloan) about to lay the ball up and I thought, ‘Oh no, here we go again.'”

But Harris saw something different. He saw an opportunity to make up for that turnover, and an opportunity to grasp onto the OSU lead everybody else saw slipping away.

"I just saw a wide-open guy and I didn't want to lose, so I went up and blocked him,” Harris said. "That was just the instinct I had.”

Said Dove, who had a big block of his own a couple minutes earlier: "Out of nowhere. Terrel just came out of nowhere and blocked the shot. That was a great play and basically he saved the game for us.”

Oklahoma State maintained control, and sophomore Obi Muonelo – after bobbling the ball off his head — was fouled and knocked down a pair of crucial free throws with 16.4 seconds to play to seal it.

It was OSU's first victory on the road since Feb. 4, 2006, coach Sean Sutton's first road victory ever and the Cowboys' first win over a ranked team since beating Texas A&M in last year's Big 12 Tournament.

"I'm happy for our guys and really proud of them, because I know that they were tired, and our fans are tired of this losing streak on the road,” Sutton said. "So this is a big burden to finally get behind us, and I thought it was just a really good team effort from start to finish.”

For the second game in a row, point guard Byron Eaton was the headliner. The junior scored 17 points, had five assists and shot 60 percent from the floor. Sutton called him "tremendous” on the offensive end and complimented his decision-making.

"Byron Eaton was in total control of the game,” Turgeon said. "We couldn't control his penetration. He used every shot clock. We couldn't get a rebound. They had the hustle plays and got the 50/50 balls. We didn't. That's inexcusable.”

The Aggies made just six field goals in the second half. Even with Dove, OSU's best defender, sitting out nearly nine minutes of the second half in foul trouble, A&M big men Joseph Jones and Bryan Davis scored just one field goal each. DeAndre Jordan led A&M with 15 points but had just four in the second half.

"I thought the second half was about as good as we've played on the defensive end all season long,” Sutton said. "We came up with some key stops.”

The biggest crowd in A&M history (13,584) started heading for the exits when Muonelo's free throws put OSU up four points. Winning on the road was a first for the sophomore, who scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Sending Aggie fans home disappointed was everything he hoped it would be.

"To come on the road, in a hostile environment like this, and get a win is a great feeling,” Muonelo said. "This is definitely a greater feeling than any I've had all year.”

SEC dude asks, who hasn't won on the road since 2006? ATM?

[K-State Spur]

a&m is just doing their part to keep sutton around for another year.

[Brutalis]

ATMs biggest crowd was 13k?

Bahahahahahahahahah

[RonMexico]

Byron Eaton's comments confirm why this team underperforms and why Sean Sutton can't relate to his players.

Retiring Acie Law's number during the all-star break was "disrespecting" you? Ok, dumbass.

[RonMexico]

Man... I bet that stings.

We also beat you guys on national TV a few weeks ago. 5 losses doesn't sting as much as you'd think.

[Ballcox]

ag posters on this board seem way too disinterested in this loss. I mean, a&m, after a shaky start to conference play, is finally getting back in the mix and then lose at HOME to osu?

Man, if I was an ag fan I would be very pissed at my team right now. There is no way they should lose that game at home, not at this point in the season. I guess you ags know something about your team that I don't, or you're just not that invested in your basketball team.

Looking forward to playing you guys tonight, have a feeling that your team will be more ready for this game than osu.

Your last line describes our mentality exactly: we, like the team, are probably looking forward to the UT game more than we cared about the OSU game.

The players probably fell into the same forward thinking with a game at their in-state rival on national TV in 2 days. With that, and the Acie Law ceremony, there was a lot of distractions on Saturday. I feel like they looked past an inferior opponent and hopefully will bring their A games tonight. If they lay an egg in Austin tonight, then you'll probably see this board blow up.

[Ballcox]

^fair enough, should be a good one tonight.

The last thing one of these obsessed aggrots would want to do is admit that this loss, even tho it is a home loss to a sub-100 rpi team, gets under their skin in any way as to give me joy.

On the flip side, I guarantee you that there would have been no less than 2-3 threads dedicated to their hatred of me if they would have won.

[Ballcox]

^Oh come on Capt. Mike, you know the ag posters on this board love ya! Why else would they devote so many posts to you? :lol

Bahahahahahahahahah

Sorry we cant compete with the greatness that is Bud Walton arena and its 20k redneck capacity. Reynolds Razorback stadium's biggest crowd is only 74k?!?!!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH You would think old Bud might make yet another "donation" to up that.


In all seriousness what's the deal with Reynolds Razorback having all those seats behind glass around the stadium? I sat there during the South Carolina game and felt like I was sitting in an aquarium. Razorback Nation was cheering but it's not like they could be heard on the field. I don't know why anyone would buy tickets for those seats, not like you have to brave any extreme weather in arkansas. These arent luxury box seats either, just regular seats that are indoors at a football stadium.

Since I was in New Orleans this weekend I missed the game and an opportunity to give Capt. Mike some props.

Congrats on the road win. :elephant

Stop it.

[Doug Collins]

Stop it.

What? First road win in 19 games is a historic event, worthy of being placed on an obnoxiously large banner adjacent to the "Welcome to Historic Gallagher-IBA Arena est during the great depression" banner.

Think about it. The two banners could encircle the stadium so that, no matter what camera ESPN is using, a giant banner would always be in frame.

I think I just set the world record for "banner" usage in a single internet message board post.

The down side to this whole deal, as KState noted, is that thouse of us that hope for a coaching change will have atm to thank for one more year.

We have to keep Sean Sutton and his dysfunctional Band of Brothas in steady rotation for many humorous years to come.
