the first half. He goes out with 0 points and we outscore LSU by 7 the rest of the half. Then, back to one one one basketball the second half, Wade and Boots. What happened to the "team" concept when Wade comes back in? we outscored LSU by 6 the second half.

I guess we were just lucky in the 1st half with the uncharacteristic 3's, but we looked more like a team in that time than we did the entire second half. Somehow have to start spreading the wealth, that's just too easy to defend by a good team.

Im not sure I see your point. Non-Wades had to step up in the first half and they did. Then wade came back and was typically great.

What's the complaint?

We just need to stop starting games like crap.

I saw Wade was more under control today than in the past. He decided to hold up on the 1v 3 fast break, had a couple nice assists, etc.

If you're insinuating that we would be better off leaving Wade on the bench (besides that being insane because *gestures broadly at everything*), how do you explain the fact that we scored 20% more points in the second half and held LSU to one fewer point?

The lesson is that shooting a good percentage from 3 is a great equalizer.

So Tobias you think it's just a coincidence that our other guys made shots when he went out? It's obvious that Wade is doing something to make our other shooters worse when he's out there. We should check his hands for pine tar or something.

He just dislikes Wade.

Lol, i guess someone thought my post was serious.

How weird. Complaint? No complaint. The point which was pretty clear was that the game indicates this team can compete without Wade having to play one on one for our only defense. Don't like Wade? Is that a joke? I don't like Wade being our only option and this game would indicate it's not necessary. One of the Texags writers made the same exact post, but here? No comprehende. To make it more clear:

5 Thoughts: Texas A&M 73, Louisiana State 69

2. Who says Texas A&M needs Wade Taylor IV to dominate a game to win in the SEC?

Oh, well if one of the TexAgs writers said something, then that really changes everything...

As opposed to you? We hopefully won't be hearing you complaining about Buzz' offense then.

Wade Taylor is averaging 25 ppg in our conference wins and 24 ppg in our conference losses. My conclusion is the difference between winning and losing is getting 1 extra point out of Taylor. CHECKMATE, sir!

You are a minority of 1 that is happy with our offensive strategy then per Texags posts.

Yeah but the majority simply knows what they learned from watching Gene Hackman coach.

Was really good to see guys step up in that first half when Wade went to the bench, but one half isn't nearly enough of a sample size to say we can still be decent offensively without Wade on the floor. Also, we were much better offensively in the second half when Wade was playing, so you might be making the opposite point you are trying to make.

I'd like to see us start games with a lot more aggressiveness from Boots and Wade vs watching guys like Hefner, Jace and others take like 75% of the shots in the first 4 mintues. Getting REALLY tiresome being down 8-10 points every game at the first media timeout.

At the VERY least, if Wade or Boots (especially Wade) is taking the shots, the 4 other guys are in position to rebound.

Who would ever think we're better without Wade on the floor? But everyone says we need an OFFENSE that isn't one on one, Wade or Radford. The game proves it's possible.

Buzz: The stress of him not playing was good for the team.

In his defense you do post some pretty dumb **** on here so he was not wrong to infer that from your post.

Coming from you, thanks.

Dominated a team ranked 92nd in the NET rankings by -2 points in the first half without Wade! Who says the. Aggies need Wade Taylor?!
