Texas A&M @ Texas

[johngateswhiteley]

time: 7pm MT
venue: Erwin Center
line: ?
tv: ESPN2

thoughts: t.u. has been playing well in conference and is winners of their last 5, while only dropping one game @ home (in conference). A&M comes in needing, most likely, to win out to earn the Big 12 regular season le. A&M jumps on t.u. early an forces Durant into a poor shooting % as he had in College Station. Does t.u. get enough foul calls to make it a game? Does A&M's bench step up if needed?

prediction: A&M 83 t.u. 70

A&m 93

Ut 80

A&m 93

Ut 80

good prediction, but if t.u. doesn't get handed the charity stripe like last game, i don't see how they score that many points.

[beachbarbie948]

i think a&m will pull through for the victory
but texas will give 'em a hard time

[johngateswhiteley]

how the is t.u. #15 in the nation? talk about overrated... . more like #25...and do any of the pollsters even watch the games? how the is Memphis ahead of A&M in the AP? their schedule is a joke.

oh, and Florida losing 2 of 3 to unranked opponents, and they fall to just 4? are you kidding me. at least be consistent, . either the polls work they way they always have or you keep the teams near the top that you think are best. make up your ing mind...

[johngateswhiteley]

Kevin Blackistone endorsing A&M to win it all on PTI today....boy would i love him to be right. as i said before, i got 50-1 & 55-1 odds on A&M winning it all before the season started!!!!

...imagine the return on that (shakes head).

when you said nice win streak, i thought you were referring to Memphis....t.u. doesn't have a nice win streak.

If you had watched them play lately, you'd know they're playing better now than when we played them at Reed.

I expect it'll be closer. My guess: A&M 87. tu 81

of course i've seen them play. but if you remember, the only reason A&M didn't win by 30 was b/c of the fouls. i don't see t.u. getting that much of an advantage even in Austin. but, yeah, we won't win by almost 20...i think 13 is a good pick.

[johngateswhiteley]

TAM has lost only one game by duoble digits all year(@LSU). the other 3 losses have been by 3pts or less. AM will be hard to beat in the tournament.....I think the are definite final four participants.

i hope you are right...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Durant is going to go Dwyane Wade on your maroon hued asses and score 50 points from the charity stripe alone

If he scores 50 from the FT line, we will not have any players left in the game.



left right left right left right......Sit down!

Durant is going to score exactly the amount of points from the stripe necessary to get Law, KAvlasuakas, Pompey, and Jones all fouled out.

And the Baby is going to stick a three in for good measure.

got my money on texas

I don't know what is but surprisingly the Aggies has 20 assists at home the other night, after having 9 and 10 in their two previous road games.

...

Probably because every other team in front of them lost and they are currently on a 5 game winning streak in one of the tougher conferences in college ball and they are currently 21-7 and 11-3 in conference play.
