What are we up against this Sunday with Tech? Seems like they have had the edge over us the past few years.

They have the top transfer on their lineup. JT Toppin. It'll be a tough game, but they've yet to really be tested.

Any ideas on how ticket sales from Ags has gone? Taking 3 and me.

I am going alongside 3 other Ags! Looking forward to it. Making the short drive over from Dallas.

Does the same ticket get you Vandy v TCU?

I think so but I'm not 100% sure. My tickets don't say anything about A&M/Tech. Just the event name "Coast to Coast Challenge".

Intresting nice to know

Yes.

You have to purchase another ticket for the 6pm women's South Carolina & TCU.

What sections are Ags sitting in?

Toppin was going to play against DePaul last night but they decided to hold him out last minute and let him rest a knee. He will play against the Ags.

Not sure what is up with Cambridge as it has been stated "personal" reasons.

Feels like forever since our last game after playing 4 in a week... Itching to watch this one!

This is going to be an interesting game for sure. I'm curious how Tech is going to come out in this game because we're going to be, by a lot, the best team they've faced this year.

This is a really critical game for them though because of how bad their non-con SOS is. The committee is going to hammer them for that if Tech gives them a chance. And this ain't the Big 12 of the last few years, they're probably not getting sub-.500 conference record teams in the tournament this year.

But as for style of play components, it's hard to read much into them because of how bad their schedule has been. Their offense has been incredible against bad teams, but they didn't shoot it nearly as well against the two teams that even had a chance of guarding them.

Good Bot.

They've got a hell of a coach, too

Yeah, I like McCasland for sure. I have no doubt that Tech is a very good team, it's just hard to read much into their style components this year so far.

Is Tech ready for an opponent who will prefers to win by shooting 30% from the field with 15 turnovers while grabbing 20 offensive rebounds and shooting 40 FTs?

If KenPom had a way to measure how annoying a team is to play I'm certain we'd be #1.

ESPN predictor has Tech 55% chance of winning

Tech does none of those things.

ay yo chill

National Wind Institute, that's hilarious.

Wind energy is the Texas Tech of forms of energy.

Toppin will be the 5th potential 1st rounder we've faced in this 4 game stretch (Sallis and Kalkbrenner could be fringe back end), Oregon also had a couple potential day 2 forwards

looking forward to to playing you guys again, hope it is a good game.....

I would like some info on what they are doing to save the ground water, but wind is a good start. But without the water the wind don't mean squat. Maybe ask Boone?

I'm going to defer to raiderjay on this one
