They are going to lose another one...

waiting time 12;27

4:54 to go in 1Q

Montana St. leads 7-3

Aggie 1-7 from the field so far

Good grief, getting their butts kicked by Montana St. in the first quarter. Down by ten. I think we've missed 6-7 layups so far--that's about par for the Aggies.

Coming out flat in 1Q needs to NOT be our identity...

After 1Q:
Montana St. 19
Texas A&M 12

3 of our 4 FG's have been 3 pointers

Shooting % for us:
2 pts: 9% (1-11)
3 pts: 75% (3-4)

Outrebounded 11-8

4:51 to go in 2Q

Montana St. leads 26-23

Chennedy is getting it going now. 10 points for her.

The big surprise so far. Montana St. leads in points in the paint. Jones just scored for us. 15 minutes in and it was the first points from her or Ciera for us.

I just got tuned in with about a minute gone in the 2nd quarter, the Aggies are certainly not getting the friendly bounce on the basket.

Halftime:
Texas A&M 35
Montana St. 33

Nice 19-8 run by us to close 2Q. We have led for a grand total of 38 seconds in the game.

Leaders:

Points: Carter 10, Wells 7, Wilson 6, Washington 5, Johnson 5
Rebounds: Carter 5, Johnson 4
Assists: Wilson 4, Washington 3, Carter 2
Steals: Wilson 2

The good:
A&M 4-8 (50%) on 3-pointers

The bad:
A&M 3-9 (33%) from FT line

Yes, much better 2nd quarter.

Montana State running a lot of screen and rolls and the Aggies seem to be a step behind or just losing the person they are guarding.

End of the 3rd 57-48 Ags.

Aggies up 57 to 48 at the end of 3.

Outscored them 22-15 in the 3rd.

letting them back in after going up 10.

How quickly things change, Montana State on 8 to 0 run to close the gap to 2 points.

Aggies frequently do not play like the #11 team in the country. They should beat a team like Montana by 20. Instead they are struggling to win.

Agree, Coach Blair should have been able to get some quality minutes for his deep bench players, but has not been able to.

I think we are all thinking this.

Aggies win 78-67 Whoop!

Aggies win 78-67.

I'm not going to think too much about this one and how we played. I think we put all of our preparation eggs into getting ready for a strong Georgia Tech team and then just showed up to play today with much of a specific game plan. The result worked as we went 2-0 in Puerto Rico.

Another win in the books, not always pretty but a win. 78 to 67.

After a tough 1Q, the Aggies outscored Montana St. 66-48 over the final 3 quarters.
