Looks like Websider or TexAgs got ahold of that one.

That said, I fully expect A&M to win their regional, they won't lose until they run into the Hoyas.

You're just pissed that your Longhorns are out.

I was rooting for them, actually...I wanted the Big 12 to get 3 into the Final 4, to shut the doubters up once and for all.

[Kermit]

i would love to have a a&m, kansas final. lets help the aggies get their first championship since the dustbowl era.

Dude, I was pumped for a UT-A&M Final Four possibility... and I'm really depressed to see the Durant tournament come to an end so soon... bad coaching among other things.

Does that mean Tim Floyd actually outcoached one of his peers? That's depressing...

C'mon, Doug. Tim Floyd is a very good college coach and Texas would be lucky to have him. Barnes is rampantly below average.

I know he's a good college coach and that's depressing. I remember the absolute crapfest he was in the nba, not the good coach he was at ISU and now USC.

[MajorMike]

Barnes is an amazing recruiter. His coaching skills occasionally lack. Sort of like Blake at uo.

Many coaches are crap in the NBA but great college coaches. One of the probs is they go to teams with crap rosters and are only given a year or 2 to turn around. See Pitino and Krueger as recent examples. Also PJ and Tark.

There are also some college coaches who wait in the shadows only to be crap themselves and will be ridden out of town in a year or 2... like... hmmm.... Sean Sutton?
