    Last year the Aggies suffered through a down year...
    College ball is driven by guards, and we didn't have anyone to play point.

    Not the case this year.
    It appears we now have 3 excellent players to fill that role, and the best of the bunch has spent the early season serving a suspension. I believe we get him back next game.

    We'll need him.
    Our schedule is brutal:
    @ #10 USC
    @ #2 Arizona
    @ #3 Kansas
    @ #8 Kentucky
    @ #25 Alabama
    and we also get to face off with #7 Florida at home.

    This team has serious bigs to control the paint, lengthy forwards/shooters and now good guard play.
    I don't expect to win them all, but if we can win a decent portion this team will have a monster RPI going into the tournament.
    Let's get it on!

    Well... so far so good.

    The Aggies dispatched USC tonight on their court 75-59.
    I don't have the PAC12 Network so I only got to follow on the gamecast and see highlights.

    Very pleased with the big road win!

    :D

    Just watched UF blow a 17 point second half lead to #1 Duke and lose 87-84.

    The Gators are a legit BB team this year.... and so is Duke.

    USC is always athletic and always has the ability to recruit 5 black guys in LA who play with no heart. It's really something to behold.. All that talent and no heart.

    I saw the other night Alabama had to play the few minutes with 3 players because of ejections, fouls and injuries. They lost but it was fairly close
