Derailing this thread back to tonight's game. Say what you want about Buzz but I bet he, unlike Beard, would have actually called his last timeout instead of sit there and watch his team roll around on the ground while time runs out.

Payne, Obaseki, and Washington are elite talent, imo. Maybe not elite players, but any coach would welcome their athletic ability.
I've never seen better athletes in A&M uniforms. Maybe the 1980 squad was comparable for its time.
Our roster is NOT loaded with NBA talent. We have some NBA G League guys with Potential for NBA contracts, but no lottery picks. There are NO DeAndre Jordan's or Khris Middleton's on this team. Buzz is getting the absolute Most out of the kids he's got.
(Payne is an interesting prospect but needs a lot of work).
Middleton was not considered an elite prospect at any point ever. What are you even talking about?
Middleton was ALWAYS an Elite Shooter with Size. That's why he was Drafted, not a Free Agent Signing. How many guys has A&M had DRAFTED into the NBA?
(Caruso, Jalen Jones, House, Tyler Davis, Q- all Undrafted) You get selected in the draft= Elite Prospect.

I'd argue that Time Lord was an elite prospect, physically, at least. He was the #1 player in Louisiana the year he came out. He wasn't a "super blue" or anything, but he has always been freaky.
definitely an elite athlete and it was obvious in the first couple games. Where was he ranked as a recruit?
Top 50 ish?

I can think of 6 in the last 25 years. There can't be that many more in our history.
1. wright
2. Law
3. Jordan
4. Middleton
5. Elonu
6. Time Lord

Beard has been within 10 seconds of a national championship. I wouldn't be too tough on him.

Since we had the ball at the bottom of that scrum it would have been a tough time out to execute.

Officially lost a little confidence in this squad.
We have the talent. Buzz just doesn't know how to use it or coach it. That's why we play such ugly basketball.
Foolish
The winning bucket was not a called play by the coach. What I will give him credit for is some brilliant substitutions down the stretch and not calling a timeout to set up the last shot. He just let his players create. That was genius.
Your comment had nothing to do with the winning bucket. It was about Buzz Williams in general. People who say Buzz is not a good coach have no credibility. Every single former coach, analyst and studio host raves about Buzz's coaching. For you to think you know better than them is laughable.
My opinion of his coaching acumen is nothing more than that. Does he win more than he loses absolutely. I probably should have said his style is sometimes not conducive to coaching his current talent to the ultimate prize. He is definitely an above average defensive and rebounding coach. In all of his stops he has struggled to coach offense. But, I would love him to prove me foolish before his tenure at A&M ends. Even better if it is this season.
The ugly basketball is a feature of the system, not a bug. You seem to think he's taking elite talent and hindering their abilities as offensive playmakers. The truth is that he's taking good talent and using a style of play that can beat elite talent. We will never consistently bring elite players to A&M.
We have had coaches who previously brought superior talent to A&M. What is it about Buzz that can't bring elite talent to A&M. Just actually curious as to your opinion.
This team is elite . I love almost all of these players.

What a comeback win!!!!!!!

I think obaseki was a top 30 recruit, or close to it.

Well Manny also thought it was gonna be a Manny game
Does bobinator or Manny get credit for the prophecy here back on page 3?
recall he was rated slightly higher than Jaxson Robinson who was same class but reclassified to enroll a year before which allowed him to still play this year
still has a chance to narrow the margin this year

Missed watching this one. Didnt think we'd win this one on the road, very pleased.
In listing elite prospects (whoever posted that) - he forgot to list Wright. He was rated very high. I think boosters helped Melvin with that one. He still messed it up though.
Why was the backcourt call not reviewed? They review deflections out of bounds for possession all the time?
I'm pretty sure - time of game. Those replays happen final 2 minutes I believe.

I am guilty of sending out a group text at the half "Manny must never see the floor again. At least not tonight".
I also said in this thread if I like this lineup minus Manny (unless he comes out of his coma). Just holy *****
He did have the worst +/- of the first half. It was fair criticism. Manny is such a streaky player.AggByMarriage said:sometimes the best part of being wrong is just being wrong.johnnyblaze36 said:

Can anyone tell what Ole Miss fans were chanting with 1:30 left in the game? Was it "Aggies suck"?
Please say yes.
Please say yes.
I rarely ever post on the BBall board, but I watch most games and follow an occasional game thread.
Let me tell you, the joy I got when they won last night, knowing what this thread would contain, was amazing. And the read-through this morning was all I hoped it would be. Never change guys.
And another gritty win by this team. Love it!

They also kept heckling Solo in particular as far as I could tell. Any idea what that was about?Complete Idiot said:

We would have had a steal anyway, but we got a 10 second call against Ole Miss at the 56 second mark when I only saw it in the backcourt 8 seconds.
Game thread wouldn't be complete...
Palpable Buzz Williams.

The call actually may have hurt us. We had the steal and pretty much a 4 on 2 coming the other way.

You have been to some exciting middle school games…
Second largest crowd in Ole Miss program history - 10,008
Didn't watch the game, but saw the score with 46 seconds left and thought, "oh man, they have a chance". I didn't want to stay up and just watch gamecast on espn.com, so I decided I'd check the score this morning. OH MAN! I immediately came to this thread to read the boo birds before the win and I was not disappointed. It is sad and hilarious how many people crap on this team when they are in a tight game on the road with a 1A opponent.
I'm not a huge basketball fan, but I am a big Aggie fan. I like Buzz Williams also. I think I'd like him to have a long and successful career ending with retirement here after a couple of championships.

People of integrity expect to be believed, when they're not, they let time prove them right.
It's 9:15am Thursday morning and A&M still can't believe we won the game!

Whenever Solo dove for a loose ball and had his ankle twisted near the sideline, there were a few courtside OM fans who got up and shouted at him. Not sure if that's where it started, but I noticed on the replay.Ags2013 said:They also kept heckling Solo in particular as far as I could tell. Any idea what that was about?Complete Idiot said:

This thread delivers.

We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have, or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-b******, were going to rip out their living G*******d guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun c********** by the bushel-f****** basket. War is a bloody killing business. You've got to spill their blood or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shot them in the guts.
I think they thought that a foul should have been called on him for the contact he created to knock the ball loose and then when he was injured it was Kiffin level football crap getting mad at him for 'faking' an injury.

About to be 10-1. We are a 2nd half team!

Hopefully this second half might get him going for the rest of the year.
OU was a gritty win.
Ole Miss was a cruel, scaring win. The kind that are better to give then receive.
