Let's get this party started a day early.

Texas A&M (1-0) vs Tarleton State (2-1)

What do we expect to see in terms of lineup? Predictions? Taylor -- what are we up against at Tarleton? Seems like a win we should take, but what are the determining factors in this match up?

This long layoff is killing me. I'm anxious to see this team back in action.

Should be a comfortable 20-25 point win. They are a lot better than Corpus. I saw some of their last game and they love to drive it in and score in the paint and force teams into crowding the paint. They'll then kick out a lot of passes and force three's up. They shoot and miss way too many so we better get ready to rebound long shots. They have better size than Corpus, but they're not an athletic team. However, they are aggressive rebounding, especially #5. They have a 6'6 freshman but she's really raw. They do love to get to the free throw line, so Ware and Fats need to stay out of foul trouble. I think against better teams that's their game plan.

They destroyed a D3 school before dropping an overtime game to Arkansas State and winning in double overtime over Houston Christian. Corpus got destroyed by Santa Clara before they won the 4th quarter. They are ranked 287 right now and Tarleton is only about 20 spots higher. So we can't take anything away from game 1 aside from effort. It'll be hard to take much away from this game, aside from the fact that Tarleton is going to try to get us in foul trouble and turn us over, things that have hurt us before. So if we can overcome that, it'll be a good indicator of the season.

Yeah Tarleton will be playing their 4th game and Kansas State will be playing their 5th when we play them. Our schedule is dumb…

I heard her say on the Radio show Monday that we had Army scheduled - but they cancelled the game the day President Welsh resigned...

Aggies lead at the half 34-33

Hopefully we get the lazy perimeter passing by our 2 and 3's corrected.

LOL a point halftime lead over THE Tarleton State. In a game where we've shot 14 more free throws, Tarleton has 10 turnovers, and we have 8 offensive rebounds over a much smaller team!

Maybe we can fire her mid season and let her husband take over. Not sure there are more than 3 players I'd actually keep for next years team.

Thank goodness the refs are calling every ticky tack foul on Tarleton… twice the amount of fouls called

Ball handling continues to be a huge concern. 14 turnovers. We're gonna have to rely on Pryor against much more quicker physical guards in conference play. No one outside of her can run an offense

Most all of the turnovers weren't from "ball handling". They were from lazy perimeter passing by the players at the 2 and 3 positions.

"Pass handling" "ball handling" both turnovers and fundamentals Joni Taylor teams seem to struggle with! We're in year 4

Aggies have taken them apart since a bad 1Q. Since 1Q:

Aggies have outscored them 53-28.

Some people got their hopes up too much for a bad result. Day ruined.

Woah we outpowered an average WAC team in the 4th quarter that's ranked close to 300! #ExtendJoni

An embarrassment to Texas A&M and the legacy Gary Blair created

The only fortunate part is that she has sank this program to all time lows that no one really pays attention or thinks about Texas A&M Women's basketball aside from a handful of people on here

Everything OK?

Some folks are just talking about the game on the court. Seems to be more going on than that here for some.

It's all okay if we're in the WAC or the Southland

I think it's more a reaction to 3 full years of bad first quarters. BAS is very real and very understandable.

This is about the result I would have expected. An average SEC team defeating an average WAC team.
