Road wins are hard.

A team the supposed caliber of A&M should be expected to win road games against unranked opponents no matter who they play against.

They outscored us 41-18 to end the game. Absolutely no defense. Refs didn't help, but easily a winnable game.

I don't care that we lost to the sips
I don't care that we lost a conference road game

I do care that we lost after being up by 22. That should have been easy at that point to close it out and get another quality win. Still confused on how this happened against our defense.

Is there not a way to coach players to be better free throw players? Shaq was a horrible free throw shooter and never improved and is it just uncoachable? 30% isn't going to get us into March Madness.

Sure but today was a matter of who we got to the line. Not blaming the refs, they were terrible, but Wade should have been on the line in one & one situations at least 5 times. Thats likely 8-9 more free throws made.

My biggest beef with today's game is not starting the ball in wades hands for the final 2 minutes. He's historically great at turning this situations into fouls.

Said it earlier but think it's pretty clear he's not close to 100%. He can't go by anyone right now off the dribble. All of his points were threes

Which worries me that we brought him back too early. I'd rather lose games now and have him 100% in March

I still trust him to bait guys into fouls off the dribble.

He made all American two years ago closing out everyone at the stripe and it had nothing to do with speed. He's just great at getting defenders into uncomfortable positions.

I mean yes, but when he has the explosiveness to go by people. He didn't today. It's obvious he isn't 100%

After a 3 hour drive home I still can't believe we lost. Kind of similar to Thursday where I had to remind myself all day that we won against Ole Miss.

The environment was crazy the last 10 minutes of the game (props to them for that, because the new venue is not that impressive) and I started to get nervous at about the 15 minute mark as they chipped away at our lead. In those situations when rooting for the Aggies I always have in my mind "keep it at 1 point down per minute and we will have a chance at the end" and that's exactly what Texas did.

Even with the two technicals and our free throw woes that game should have been ours, we just needed to keep playing instead of going slow. Heck we already go pretty slow and make other teams use most of their clock.

Instead of just playing ball it was hold it to the end of the clock and throw up a prayer. Part of this seemed to be from how tired we were. Our guys looked exhausted and it showed on the court the second half.

I'm now 0-3 in Austin (0-2 basketball and 0-1 football) so I just need to stop going to games in Austin. I mean twist my arm… that city sucks.

Anyway - team will be fine. As some of y'all said, we have done this exact thing to other teams. It happens. Have to have a short memory and move on after taking some lessons from the game.

See everyone Tuesday for the start of a 2-0 week in conference play.

For what it's worth Buzz obviously agreed with you. Just me personally, I'm putting it in wades hands and living and dying with him.
