Maybe NIT. They'll be lucky to get it after Marist destroyed them last year.
It's spelled "Augustin" you moron. Not surprised you don't know it, since you only know two things about B12 basketball: OSU and rooting against A&M.
And locker room is two words. This is the guy that tried to correct my grammar...

In terms of talent 1 through 8, OK State is near the top of the conference. They're just very undisciplined on both ends of the floor.
I agree OSU isn't that great, however UT (a sure-fire #2 seed) beat them 3 times by a combined 14 points, so not sure what that says about UT or parity or whatever.
It was actually a pretty decent game if not for the 14-0 run out of the gates in the 2nd half. Got as close a 3 in the last 3 mins, but couldn't get any closer.
Still, a very nice end to the year by beating 3 tourney teams and the only 3 teams to beat us in the last 11 games were to the #1/3/4 seeds in the B12. Couldn't have asked for much more after that 6-game losing streak.
What happened to Gary Johnson? The write-up said he left the game on a bad leg. Ankle? If he can't go in the tourney that really weakens the front court depth.
whats that? did A&M just make it to the semifinals in the Big 12 tourney? ...huge win...(see RPI thread). hope we can play kansas tough and have a shot at the finals.
...i thought Turgeon's team was going to fold? k-state fan and capt. mike can blow me.
hey, i just told you what happened 4 out of 5 years at WSU (and plenty of A&M fans thought it was happening here too). I'm looking around for any posts that are talking about A&M's strong finish heading into the Big 12 tourney...not finding them (and yes, I'm well aware that K-State limped to the finish themselves).
you can blow yourself over that mighty 8-8 season with a team that was picked 2nd.

its how you finish...blow me. sorry we had to knock the cats out of the tourney without Jordan...good luck in the NCAAs.
Was atm's best win of the year - neutral floor win over a tourney team with the POY.
The Big 12 POY.
I hope KU enjoyed the home-cooking they got in the second half last night... as if it wasn't painfully obvious by the no-calls, how the whistle didn't start blowing until KU started making their comeback, or the 24-6 free throw differential, a user at HuskerHoopsCentral did some research...
Regardless, I'm really impressed with Nebraska's play last night and admit pulling the upset would of still been a long-shot even without KU's home cooking. Here's hoping NU can be playing in MSG in a few weeks.I found a site that sort of ranks the officials on a stat called "average home foul margin" and each of these 3 officials rank in the bottom 1/3 of all refs for calling more fouls against the visiting team than the home team.
Thornley is the worst, averaging 4.2 more calls against the visitors per game.
Davis is next at 3.41 more calls against the visitors per game.
And Self is "best" of the crew with a mere 2.51 more calls against the visitors per game.
Collectively, that crew accounts for 10.11 more calls against the visitors PER GAME, which corresponds with the free throw differential we saw tonight.
And of course that's just fouls. That says nothing about the uncalled stepping on the end line or the double dribble that wasn't called, etc.
I think it would be difficult to assemble a worse crew if you tried. All three in the bottom 1/3 of all officials. Good frickin grief.
i don't think the big 12 does KU any favors in terms of playing for a national le. every year, they get all the calls in conference play, then when they get the tournament and teams are allowed to body up to them and get physical, they just whine and look flabbergasted that they're not getting a 2::1 free throw advantage.
LOL
I hope to the basketball gods A&M upsets KU in some freaky freaky unlikely turn of events. Those trainstation practicing aggies will not even comprehend what has hit them when they face us in a stadium depleted of mouth-frothed crazed lunatic aggie fans.
Gotta complete the okie domination first, 6 up and 6 down against the mul ude of okies.
No Johnson, weakens that front line against a pretty good OU front line. Good news for Texas is that OU's guards suck.
Where's Abrahms? The shooter was MIA in the two gamer against OSU. Just a bad matchup?
OU's guards are insanely ty. But the loss of johnson pretty much assures our season is as good as over.
We have no chance against KU or in the bid dance without him.
Johnson was a game time decision IIRC for this one, so chances are he's out for tomorrow if they win.
I think he'll be ready to go next week. That's one tough mofo.
Abrams needs someone to get him an iPod with the Rocky theme playing on loop. The kid looks ty in this game too.
Wangmene is throwin okie es around. Somewhere RC is smiling.
I'm not gonna give you the Jordan disclaimer, we had to play every game without David Hoskins thanks to a knee injury, who people outside of North may not know was the best all-around player on KSU's 23 win team last year. He would have made a huge difference on a team that struggled for consistency around Beasley.
But - forgetting Jordan - A&M made some plays and definitely deserved the win. Bill Walker had another awful game when we needed him. And the KSU defense was just pathetic for long stretches. I don't think the Aggies had to take a contested jumper in the first half. They either got lay-ups or wide open 3s.
I actually highly respect A&M, my brother is an alum. But after watching him here in town for almost a decade, I stand by my statements that A&M could have done better than the Turg.
I will say this: I really wish the margin had been something other than 3 thanks to Kirk's slop bank-shot with the shot clock expiring. That being the difference had me pissed off for while.
What's up with Bill Walker disappearing in big games? Wasn't he in the top 5 or 6 in the league in scoring on the season?
Will there ever be a game DJ Augustin plays where the tv announcers don't mention:
1) DJ Augustin was displaced by Katrina
2) DJ Augustin played a lot of heated pickup ball with TJ Ford last summer
3) DJ Augustin went to the Steve Nash skills camp
???
Thank God Augustin plays much better defense than Nash.
Oklahoma is a dream matchup for any coach who loves running zone. Jim Boeheim would his pants if he got the chance to play them.
Well, he had a huge game against KU, and played well in the first A&M match-up, so it's probably not fair to say that he disappears in big games. But he sure has been inconsistent of late. He doesn't really have much a jumper. His set-shot from 3 has been pretty solid since conference play started (although it was horrid last night), and he's a beast for anybody who isn't significantly bigger than he is to handle on the low block. But he gets frustrated easily (and I think his at ude wears on officials to the point that they'll hit him for chippies, and then let teams get physical with him on the other end), and he's not the kind of player who raises his game when he gets mad.
domination by the Longhorns. That second half was impressive, especially against a rival who should be NCAA bound in the semi finals of the tourney.
aggies simply do not have the fire power to keep up with KU
their defense is not doing too well either, way too many points given up already.
