Calm down JGW. We won. Who cares about the refs and Durant and all that . The game is over, we won, bring on the huskers.
1. i am calm
2. i agree
...one of my goals when i came to this board was to temper the t.u. fans and get some A&M voices on this board. so far so good. but at the same time, i am going to enjoy our ownage of t.u...
Plus, we still have to play the horns down in Austin and we haven't won there since BCG became the coach. We've beat Texas every year in College Station and they have beaten us every year in Austin since Gillispie has been the coach and probably eleventy billion times in a row before Gillispie. We just took care of our home court tonight.
of course, but i feel confident A&M will get the job done....unless fouls are crazy and dj gets to the line 13 times...oh wait, that happened tonight
but, yes, it will be a tough game. definitely losable....
Sure, just like they do every yr. Right?
...our RPI should go up, but then again, so will okla state's.
Durant should be the #1 pick, no question about it. His superstar status with the refs has already spilled over to the entire UT team. Really though, the refs have been very tight with the Aggies' post players the last 2 games and they still won both games somehow. If the refs let A&M play physical in the tournament then they will be as tough to beat as anyone in the country, bar none. Durant is the best player in the country, though. It's really not even close. He didn't have a great game aside from a run early in the 2nd half and still put up numbers against the best D in the land.
I've enjoyed watching the Aggies the past two games. It's a shame reality is gonna hit in Lincoln on Saturday...
I've enjoyed watching the Aggies the past two games. It's a shame reality is gonna hit in Lincoln on Saturday...think so, huh? well, it could be a good game. personally, i like A&M by double digits.
Do I think so? No, I don't think Nebraska has a chance in .
Can I dream? Will I support Nebraska to the final buzzer? Did Colorado really just beat Okla State? yes.
of course you are going to, i'd do the same thing. nothing i said suggested you shouldn't. anything is possible....this is true.
I'm looking forward to the rest of these conference games. I'm interested to see if we can end some more streaks at OSU, OU, and UT. I don't know when the last time we've won at any of their gyms. I know for sure we haven't won at OU ever I think.
i've been thinking about that a lot. i cannot wait to play those teams on their own court. obviously i want to beat t.u. the most, but aside from that i want to beat ou's ass. something tells me they won't go quietly on their own court, so i really look forward to that game.
Looked bleak when Kirk and Jones fouled out, and Acie was hobbled, but Bryan Davis grew up right before my eyes, and just played outstanding. The foul trouble by Kirk and AK was a blessing in disguise, because Sloan, Carter and Davis showed me and coach G that the Ags will be in great shape this season and next when he has to trust someone other than Acie and JJ to carry this team when needed. Sloan looked fantastic and did a great job guarding Durrant late in 2nd half, despite giving up at least 8 inches to him.
I could not talk after the game, because of all the yelling I was doing at the refs. The game was called horribly, and I thought I was in Austin....now I know what everyone in the ACC has had to deal with with Duke's preferentuial treatment the last 15 yrs....unbelievable.
Some observations:
100 pts scored - 1st time ever in ig 12 play
Hold Texas <50% shooting- 38th straight game to hold opponents< 50%. (Longest in country)
Dominate the boards against a very good rebounding team
Acie :15 assists and 1 turnover

people keep talking about Durant's game against A&M, but what is more impressive:
1. 39 mins -- 9-23 fgs -- 6-10 fts -- 15 rebs -- 3 assists -- 28 points
2. 37 mins -- 7-11 fgs -- 4-5 fts -- 3 rebs -- 15 assists -21 points
to be honest, i'd say it was a wash...maybe a slight edge to Acie cause he only took 11 fga. i thought it was interesting how an analyst (maybe it was Katz) said Acie might give Durant a run for his money on big 12 player of the year. that would be hilarious if after all this pub Durant didn't even win the player award in his own conference.
If Ags win conference with 12-2 or 13-3 record(sweep UT) and UT finishes 4th...there is no way that Acie will not win POY in Big 12
Now, that does not mean that Durrant will not win POY in country or that he is not a better player than Acie(he is) but Acie should win POY if the above comes to fruition.
Acie is good...VERY GOOD.....But, if Durant continues to hold averages of 30+ ppg and 12+rpg, then it might be difficult for Acie to win. Now, if t.u. fails to place in the top 3 or 4, ACIE has a good chance, assuming A&M still holds the 1 or 2 spot. As shown last night, A&M's huge advantage turned out to be the bench. Look at the bench scoring.
Or what it's like to play the Mavs... right down to Barnes pulling a "bear-hug" move before the game... haha.

Great point Jim. The freshman class came to play tonight in a huge game. They showed why they were highly touted when they committed. Sloan is especially impressive to me with his toughness. He's not afraid of anyone or anything and I think they said he was once a boxer, so that would explain it.
Davis finally looks like he is beginning to understand the system and is looking like he's ready to step up. I'm looking forward to seeing him develop in the coming years.
I also hope that Joseph Jones comes back next year just so we can have Jones, Davis, and DeAndre Jordan as our bigs next year.
anyone else heard about the a&m home statkeeping? they've been discussing it on the afternoon show on 1300 here in austin - UT officials reviewed this game and took 8 assists away from UT. a&m averages 22 assists a game at home and 10 on the road. a&m kicked the out of UT any way you slice it, but it would seem like their home statisticians need some extended training.
^ no joke they give out assists like w stickers in college station
trying to get acie b12 POY
