Yale is # 308 in 3 pointers attempted per game and # 185 in 3 pointers made per gamedcg4403 said:
Like our region overall but Yale is the exact team made to defeat this Aggie team. I sure hope they can keep em from going wild from the 3 point line.

Ivy league teams always show out in the tournament. This A&M team has been playing BAD basketball the last month (with the exception of Auburn). Have ZERO confidence that trend will change on Thu. Even if they somehow get past Yale, Michigan awaits in the next round.
Their 3-point attempt rate is one of the lowest in the country. They have only two players that have more 3-point attempts than Solo does for us. Other than only looking at raw 3-point percentage, what is your rationale for this take?dcg4403 said:

The myth among Aggies is Yale is just bombing threes. They shoot less threes than almost everyone we have played this year. They are just efficient when they do shoot it.dcg4403 said:

but that doesn't make this a bad matchup. It isn't a bad matchup. Of course if we show up and play the worst game of the year we could lose.AgLA06 said:Maybe.BQ_90 said:BAS morons from the football boardPumpkinhead said:Sher Thing said:dcg4403 said:

Can you say for sure which Aggie basketball team will show up for that game? I can't.
We could win by 15 or lose just as easily. I don't have the confidence to bet on any of the games moving forward at this point. When we're on, we can beat anyone. When we aren't we can lose to anyone (especially teams we shouldn't) just as easily.
And no, that's not something that can be easily said for many of the seeds above us. The lack of consistency (not ability) is the issue.

They generally try to work the ball inside and play physical basketball. Two things that are very difficult to do against us, especially when you aren't far more athletic than us.
I just don't really agree with this at all. We haven't lost to a bad team all season. Our worst loss was in game one on the road, without Phelps, to a team statistically better than Yale. I think a lot of people here are not fully grasping just how good of a schedule we played this year.AgLA06 said:Maybe.BQ_90 said:BAS morons from the football boardPumpkinhead said:Sher Thing said:dcg4403 said:

In March madness, you can't look past anyone. Yale will be more motivated than any other games all year. Once you get behind to a team you should beat, panic sets in. 4 seeds go down every year.
Play every games as a battle of possessions and have fun out there!
They don't have the bigs that would realistically require us to do that. Payne/Henry/Solo/Andy should all be able to hold their own in the post against Yale's bigs without the need for us to collapse and help like we need to do against a number of teams in the SEC. I agree that would be the fear, but I don't think we'll need to defend them that way to where that is an issue.NyAggie said:Topher17 said:Their 3-point attempt rate is one of the lowest in the country.

My fear with this game is that Yale does try to work it inside and we collapse and they kick it out for 3's and take way more 3's than they would normally do because of the way we play defense, and they hit them at a high clip so taking more might be the way that they see to beat us
Yes we're inconsistent but can you tell me how many times we lost by double digits at a neutral site this year?Quote:

Been saying this for a month and people just don't absorb it. We lost to bad teams last year. We lost to bad teams the year before.Quote:

The only way this can be achieved is if they have quick guards that can break down the defense and kick out. I don't see Yale having that type of guard. They're going to have a tough time getting it to the block and will then have nowhere to go after that. Yes, we'll probably double at times, but that's to press them for a turnover not because they'll be scoring from the low block.Quote:
