We'll get knocked out of the tourney in the 2nd round when we expect to go much farther.

Don't forget. We are Texas A&M.

It is kind of ironic that bluedeviledag just wrote his impressions from the Belk
Bowl and is now assuring us all will be fine in March for the basketball team.

Too many variables for me to know yet. I will have a better idea a month from now.

This game or seasons when Kennedy makes the tourney? I think we will this year BTW

and the coaches aren't coaching.

Thats not an anomaly

We have good coaches. Make your bed and get a dog.

---

No this is exactly what we've been seeing under Kennedy. He is a terrible coach.

---

Glad to see posters gravitate to this board to discuss hoops

---

I see you are still here fighting the good fight. Good luck with that.

Figured your guy Cyp getting thrown under the bus would have dampened your spirits a bit.

Most posters have gravitated away from the board since about a year and half in to Kennedy's tenure, I wonder why.

It's nice that we have assembled talent capable of winning the SEC and making a deep tournament run. Unfortunately that's going to make it really tough on the true believers at the end.

...and he seems to think this is Duke basketball board. WTF?

This was a terrible matchup for the Ags without Gilder and Hogg. That's the best Alabama has played and the worst the Ags have played. It's a long season, it'll get better.

---

If by better, you mean we won't lose every game? Yes. If by better, you mean we will get back to a top 10 ranking and play on a level that reflects our talent level? No.

---

I'll be looking forward to seeing you around here later in the year. I'm sure you'll come back to eat crow and won't skunk away like a little *****.

This. I've seen this movie too many times before, and the ending is always the same.

---

Yet here you are. Why?

---

Same reason you are. I'm an Aggie.

I said it on another thread...this team has a great ability to get Aggies to be *******s to other Aggies...

We'll have a high seed, but won't make it out of the sweet 16 unless we get a Baylor draw. We have a talented bunch, but the coaches at that level will coach circles around us with several days to prepare.

So you're saying Bob Huggins and Andy Enfield had TOO MUCH time to prepare for us?

Bk is a horrible coach for this level.

EVERY time we lose, all of twice this year. Despite all the talent we still have some selfish people on the team. When is this society going to start holding the individual that did the deed responsible without finding someone else to blame......his mom, his dad, his neighborhood, his coach blah blah blah.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. Yes Hogg let the team down, but that doesn't mean we should get railroaded by 20 to a good but not great team in a road but not difficult atmosphere.

It's college hoops -- there are going to be games where you just flat out get rolled no matter what... It happens. The Florida game is going to tell a lot of about this team and coaching staff. If we get dominated again at home by another "good but not great" team, then it likely supports what many of us have been saying for almost 4 years now -- Kennedy is a coach that can do decently if all the stars in his roster align, but if there is a roster setback or two, the wheels come off. If we come out with a win in the next 2, it will show that he can make the coaching adjustments necessary.

We shouldn't be in full blown panic mode, but we're definitely hovering around DEFCON 3.

People have been very angry at DJ Hogg.

But a coach is responsible for his program. It's part of his job to get responsible people in the program or coach and teach them to be responsible. When college coaches talk about teaching their guys to be men and do it the right way and all that, they're not just being moralists. They're describing a requirement of their job.

No coach will have a 100% track record with that, but a starter, a top player having multiple problems sure doesn't speak well of Kennedy's ability to teach responsibility, discipline, and respect for the rest of the team and program.

Yes, the team is very talented and we'll go a long ways simply because it's talented.

Look, Avery had a year to watch BK's offensive scheme when Jr was at A&M. Didn't take him very long to figure out how to disrupt it. The scheme works if we have superior talent to rescue it; otherwise, good coaches can take it apart as AJ did last evening.
