I will bet you right now, that A&M ends up with better record than either UT or OU in the conference. Name the bet.

The miracle worker is in Lexington. Turgeon a pretty damn good coach, but he ain't Billy Clyde. BCG can flatout effing coach hoops and he was worth at least what Acie was to the program. We'll be praising and ing about him leaving the Dirty Dozen for a long time. As a 'sip', I even loved watching Aggie basketball the last couple of years. I was more pissed at the Memphis outcome than my Ag sister and her Ag fiance were. Turgeon might have been the best candidate the Ags could toss money at, but still, he's no BCG.
The Ags are a top 20 team, certainly, but this is a bad conference to be just a top 20 team in. Y'know? This year, a slipup to Tech and Okie State combined with a split with Kansas and Texas is enough to give the Jayhawks the conference le again. And that's with me assuming that A&M can drop K-State. Or for that matter, Kansas beating the Cats.
I won't be surprised at all by the Ags finishing ahead of UT this year and/or winning the conference tourney. Or with a 4-5 seed in the Dance. Or two wins in the tourney. But saying that the Ags will take the regular season conference le is just silly. They're just too green in the wrong areas and it doesn't help that you're breaking in a new coach. Like I said before, Turgeon is a great coach - but he's not Gillispie. Mike Sherman ain't Bear Bryant, either.
And yeah, I'll bet you wine, Extractor. The field versus the Aggies.
I'll bet my yamaha on this one
Before anybody books anything, they really really should look at Turgeon's track record at WSU, not just the Sweet 16 year.
Today on FSN at 5pm the Aggies will play at Arizona.
You non believers need to watch this game, and I promise you that you will change your mind about both Mark Turgeons' coaching and the Aggies' chances of winning the Big 12.
I learned that they have trouble holding a lead and got dominated in the 2nd half by an unranked team.
Looks like tlong knows as little about basketball as he does football
More likely, he hadn't seen the Texas Longhorns play yet and was talking out of his azz.
You a believer now sheep er?
Jim you up for that bet still? I tried PM'ing you but your inbox was full
oops
How the mighty have fallen.
There is no shame losing to Zona in the McHale Center. By season's end arizona will be ranked and Bayless will lead the way, that kid is big time.
I don't doubt Turgeon as an X's and O's guy, but I will wait to see if he has the personality and intangibiles when hitting the recruiting trail that I thought BG did. I wonder what expectations he faces now that aggieland has tasted some hoops successs.
What a win by Texas - Damion James was awesome and for the effort he gives every game I am glad he will have that memory forever.
K-state, texas, or kansas will win. sorry.
Aggies got ed by refs all game long. Jones was dominant but had to sit on bench almost whole 2nd half before finally fouling out, all out bigs were handcuffed with touch fouls the whole game. Zona hit 13 of 16 shot down the stretch and hardly missed a FT, so a tie game turned into a big loss in last 4 mins.
Again, it looks like youdid not watch the game, so yoyu still do not know .
wwhwww whaat??????
jones fouled out???
those refs were horrible
but it's just one game and losing to arizona really isnt that bad, considering kansas had to take it into OT to win against arizona at home i think
wrong i said.
you ing crybaby...
i watched the game...a&m stood around the whole second half on offense waiting for someone to do something. but, yeah let's go ahead and blame the ref's.....
moron.
Stood around??? You are a idiot. Watch the game again, without your burnt orange glasses on, moron.
As if an early season non-conference loss matters that much.
As if Joe Jones has never been disqualified before
The refs were fairly one-sided all game long, from calling touch fouls on Kirk v. Budinger and allowing Bayless to carry the ball while tagging Sloan for it.
But it's something I've experienced for 10+ years watching Arizona State get screwed down in Tucson on a yearly basis.
It's a very disappointing loss because they were clicking so well early in the game. Last year, these scoreless droughts would be tempered by Acie taking the game over, but this team hasn't developed such a player. Joe Jones needs to stop picking up stupid fouls when he has 4 already, even if those 4 previous ones were a joke. I do think last year, though, that even when the Ags had a scoring drought, BCG's defense never let up and kept them in the game... still, he can't guard against 16 FTs.
Aggies will always have foul trouble because they play so physical, we saw that last year. If they get a tightly called game they have problems. Main problem with the team is a lack of a go-to scorer. Carter hit some big 3s to keep them in it during the 2nd half meltdown, but for much of the time it looked like Kirk, Sloan, and Carter were debating who would take over. Sloan was aggressive driving to the hoop and getting fouls but the rest of the team
seemed tentative. Bryan Davis' improvement has been awesome.
This type of game was to be expected early in the year and down the road it'll help them out.
Major props to the horns for beating UCLA, that was a of a game.
That guy picks up the dumbest fouls in the worst situations. He fouled out on a meaningless play riding some guy along the baseline. He gets his share of bs fouls but at the sametime he has to play smarter, and after 4 years, there isn't any hope that he will.
