AA&M thoughts
« on: December 19, 2014, 09:45:49 PM »
1.   Cupcakes are fun.
2.  AA&M is bad.
3.   JJJ, Derrick, and Duane all took turns looking bad in the second half.   Get it out of your system, men.
4.  Glad to see STjr score.
5.  Glad to see Sandy getting extended run.  But you can't foul out, young man.
6.  Luke in record book territory.  Until the bricked FT's.  He's decent.
7.  Fouls and fatigue are going to be factors against every good team.
8.   But nobody got seriously hurt, everybody got run.
9.  Moving on......

How can anyone have thoughts playing that team.  They had 20 points in the first half, six of them on two three point 30 foot desperation bankers.  Just terrible.

-Free throws 18 for 21, awesome
-Taylor passing, especially to Fischer, awesome
- Du. Wilson, played terrible last 10 minutes
- Fischer better watch his contact with opposing players driving to basket, got called for four of them.

- Most important, where was the walk-on?  Up 38 and the kid got a DNP........

Pete supposedly wasn't at the game lol.

And how can you have thoughts? Well, the fact that we did what we should do against a team like that is encouraging. We were not doing that pre Luke. And like I said, we pounding these guys more than the other bigger name schools.

It doesn't mean much at all but we did what we were supposed to at least.

Very much off topic, but does the team ever practice on that floor? Or do they mostly stay in the other gym in there? Kasten Gym I believe it's called.

Tower--you can (and I'm betting you will) include #7 in every post game recap this year. Move it up to #1 and lead with fatigue each game.

Didn't get too see much. How was the experience for those there? Did they get close to filling up?

There were some definite no shows even in the lower sections. I'd guess maybe 70% full. But it was fun. Felt intimate, fans were right on top of the court and the atmosphere was relaxed. Well, except for the guy in front of me who was yelling complaints every chance he got.

What made that worse is the guy sits about 10 feet from me at the BC. Even at a different arena I can't escape his bitching.

10. Steve Taylor looks better on offense playing the high post.

The atmosphere on TV looked great.  I wonder if they should do this once a year...or every other year.

Nah, I'll take a game off just to mess with people.  But yes, fatigue and fouls are going to be an issue every game.

Box score.   19-21 for Juan, Steve, and Luke.   If they could only do that every game......

If they did we'd end hanging banners this year.

Glad it translated well. I was on the fence about going but am glad I went. I think it's a great option for games you know will be lightly attended. I spoke to Joe True briefly and he said we would have been at the Al had we made the NIT last year, and I mentioned it'd be nice if it was a regular thing.

Hmm... Christmas At The Al?

Honestly, as much as it would be nice to have a replacement for the BC, I would rather have an on campus arena that seats around 10,000 instead.  (Never going to happen.)

Best team efficiency of the year on both offense and defense for this dog. Hard to get charged for that.

Agreed.  And that's my recollection from his freshman year.
All this talk of rights.  So little talk of responsibilities.

And really, that might be the best lesson from this game.  AA&M was really not a very good team.
