It's only 30 days until the Aggies' opener on November 7th. I'm going to post a video each day as we approach the beginning of basketball season to help us count it down.

Antoine Wright and the Aggies Thwart Bob Knight's Bid at Win #800
This video is from the 2002-2003 season, and was Antoine Wright's freshman season. Despite having the 5-star freshman and Bernard King, the Aggies ended up with a .500 conference record and just missed the NIT. However, Bob Knight was in town on February 1st to see if he could notch win #800 in his collegiate coaching career.
I was at the game, and I remember it being pretty crowded (the box score is still up and says the attendance was over 12,000). Knight may have been the initial draw for some, but the Aggies took a first half lead and the atmosphere ratcheted up a notch. When Wright threw down, the crowd really got into it.
Wright ended up with a double-double, and the Aggies won the game 64-59. '
