I dont think it's a decent assumption that they counted it towards the suspension. Our admin is stupid about this sort of thingPumpkinhead said:If we don't see Caldwell play at all in this game on Wed. then it seems a decent assumption that they decided to count it towards the suspension. If he plays, then of course they didn't.GE said:It should either count towards the suspension or he should be allowed to play.jml2621 said:I want JJ to play as well.halfastros81 said:
I hear what you're saying but I doubt it will count since it's an exhibition. If it doesn't count as one of the 6 I hope they let him play. More game experience is better.
I'd be shocked if this can go to the suspension as a non-scheduled game...but then it's an internal suspension, so who knows.
Texas A&M basketball to face Texas in exhibition game for Harvey relief
Pending clearance from the NCAA, the Texas A&M basketball program will face the Texas Longhorns in an impromptu exhibition game to benefit Hurricane Harvey relief efforts next Wednesday, October 25 in Houston. The game is expected to be cleared today and an official announcement should follow.
The Aggies and Longhorns will tip off at 7:00 pm at Tudor Fieldhouse on the campus of Rice University. Tickets will be on sale soon, and all proceeds will be directed to help Texans impacted by the devastating Category 4 storm.
Longtime rivals, A&M and Texas quit playing yearly when Texas A&M left the Big 12 to join the Southeastern Conference in 2012. They played an early season contest on November 25, 2015 in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas, with the Aggies winning 84-73. SEC media this week projected Texas A&M to finish third in the conference with Robert Williams tabbed as the co-player of the year. Big 12 coaches predicted Texas will finish fourth in that league.
This game will be a good test of the progress Billy Kennedy's team has made in preparing for the upcoming season. It's virtually all upside for the team, as the new roster additions will get an early taste of high major competition before the season officially begins.
Fans of both schools have strong opinions about whether the Aggies and Longhorns should play one another, but an exhibition match to benefit Harvey relief offers the players and fans a chance to enjoy a true rivalry game for an important cause.
This also gives Aggie fans a chance to see a tough early season matchup close to home. Though A&M is slated to face West Virginia, Oklahoma State and either Pitt or Penn State, USC and Arizona in the first month of the season, those games are in Germany, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Phoenix.
Texas A&M has provided ticket information for the event:
ALL proceeds will go directly to the Rebuild Texas Relief Fund (https://www.rebuildtx.org). Tickets will go on sale Sunday (Oct. 22) at 5 p.m. Central and will be available for purchase via TicketMaster online at www.TicketMaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000. The seating capacity for Tudor Fieldhouse is 5,208.
