We will be fine in March. This is one game where the entire team is playing poorly, we have two starters out, and the coaches aren't coaching. Would rather happen now than in the NCAA tournament.

We will be OK. Move down to 12 and work ourselves back up.

We will be fine if healthy and not suspended.

You must be new to how Aggie men sports work once they've gotten your hopes up...

If Wilson isn't hurt, then this game isn't a killer. If Wilson's knee is screwed, that is a big loss.

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

It remains to be seen but this could be a blessing in disguise. Up until now, the team hadn't really face any adversity and in this game, we have all seen how important Admon and Hogg are to the team. Number 1 scorer of the team is out and our best defender is out; the rest of the freshman really have to figure out what their role will be for the team moving forward.

We need every one of our guys and not one is more or less important than the next and the rest of the team needs to understand that they must bring it every night/every minute/every possession.
The conversations will be uncomfortable, but we all have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable for progress to be made.

Sorry but we don't have a good coach. Assistants maybe but not BK.

Bk is a horrible coach for this level. The apologists will cover for him shortly, but it is true. He figured out recruiting though. That's why he still has a job. But it will never be enough.

The past 6 years have been a long drawn out anomaly. The next 4 games are going to tough. Don't need to win them all, but better get at least 3.

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

We will never win a damn thing with Kennedy. He is a great recruiter and a below average coach. I wish I was wrong but he continues to disappoint. You guys can get your hopes up if want, be he will not win anything of consequence.

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 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.

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 *****.

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?

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.

You mean the coach who makes 2.5mil per year here to miss the dance 5 times in 6 years and who has a losing overall conference record 6+ seasons in? The guy with a 12 million dollar buyout? He deserves less blame than the players who get paid zero for their part of a billion dollar sport?

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.
