We're 2-5 in our last 7 Quad 1 games. Worst offensive efficiency in the conference. Inconsistent guard play at best and no real supporting cast down the stretch. I don't really care about what we did in non conference

Our school obviously just loves to suck at sports.

I like how 50 people are interested in actually going to see this game, but then tens of thousands whine like we lost the most critical game ever played.
I live 1,200 miles away so that's my excuse for not being there. It was a critical game whether you want to believe it or not. It was winnable and coming off back to back losses. Every seed line we give up lessens the chances of advancing.
High energy only gets us so far. Every single year.
I get the internal struggle of avoiding being a 2%er and not being a realist. The fact is our backcourt has under performed their abilities and our expections all season except in a few instances. The SEC is more like the NBA now moe than ever and that means you have to have closers on offense. Almost every team in the league has at least one guy that can have a good night and carry them. UT has Johnson and many nights he's almost enough.
When Buzz gets good transfers other teams sign game changers. 4 has been in a season long slump/injury that perhaps has been his worst at A&M thus far in his career and honestly at times hurts the team at critical stretches or moments when the team is counting on him most. Watching the games have been no diversion from our stress and frustrations of the day, but seem lately to simply compound on them. To the college sports world, A&M to them means Anoited & Mediocre. Only our improved performance and results can erase that tag.

He has to go. I don't care about his book reports
Another A&M men's team that got our hopes up only to then crap the bed at the end of the season. Nothing ever changes.

Next year could be very ugly. Fan interest for the #12 team in the country is embarrassing, and quite honestly, so is the type of play. Where are the resources going to come from to save us from potential disaster?
This ain't the #12 team in the country. HTH

Or we have been ranked in the top 15 all year.

There's a dozen mid major coaches working in small college towns getting a quarter of Buzz's pay that would be on the next flight to CS if we called.
Very very true. Yet we complained for years that our entire history we've never taken a proven commodity. It was always a mid major guy. We finally did it and now it's a problem lolFTAG 2000 said:AggieCrew44 said:It blows my mind that people don't understand we had to give someone top 15 money to come hereFTAG 2000 said:AggieCrew44 said:This after L gets extremely tiring.

Buzz has flaws. He's a good not great coach. You don't go to three straight tourneys at a non-hoops school if you suck at coaching. It's just kinda hilarious that the goalposts have moved. We hired him wanting us to be a consistent tournament presence after going nearly a decade tenure with only 2 of them. He's got us there. Now it's why aren't we a top 2 seed. I'm all for being disappointed with recent results. It's like people have gotten greedy though and have made it an indictment on Buzz

Baseball won't do much either so there's that.
Yep. Pitching and hitting is sucking and now we've lost Gavin for the season.
Eff Aggie Sports. How's our meat judging or equestrian team doing?
We're lucky to be in the top 25. This is the worst team in the SEC right now
All I see are a bunch of babies on this board lol
Been a top 15 team all year, and nonetheless the pitchforks are out after every loss.
I really hope I don't come across as miserable as most of you are.

A large swath of fans made up their minds on Buzz in the first few years. They would rather be right than enjoy the fact that we're playing meaningful games deep into a season for the fourth straight year.
The success of the season up to now had us dreaming really big, and falling short of that could still be disappointing. Expectations were higher than just making the tournament coming into this year, but now somehow for certain folks if we don't make the Final Four it is a failure. Meanwhile, that is still on the table.
We aren't 2023 UConn by any means, but even that team lost 6 of 8 at one point. It's just how college hoops goes at times, even for great teams.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Its like you guys have never watched Buzz coach, once a year the dude takes a vacation and an explanable losing streak. A few years ago we looked solid and went like 2-9 from Mid Jan - Feb
We've had these streaks every season where we look like absolute ****, but always manage to pull out of it. My worry is that this one is starting so late in the season. Hopefully they can get their heads right in the next few days.
But we're a lock.
And those people aren't interested in the team when they are playing well and ranked in the top 10. But when the team starts struggling and the Aggie bat signal goes up that there is a call to be miserable and complain they all come running. Some people just like to be miserable. If you only care when things are bad then you are miserableJJxvi said:

I don't give a **** what any of the sunshine all is well crew says. The fact is we continue to have these crashes and never can finish strong in seemingly every sport. Everyone is just happy we made it there. Well ****ing finish the job for once.
IT'S THE OL' A&M CULTURE CHOKE!!! Folks I have watched A&M sports for 70 years, this is just the WAY IT IS!! Money ain't gonna fix it nor will talent, coaching, facilities, or fans. Accept it!!!!
This is the first time under Buzz one of these stretches has come at the end of the season. And while it is looking like it could be a five game skid it is only three right now and it isn't outlandish to think this team could win one of the next two. Do that and this wouldn't be seen as a collapse at all.JR Ewingford said:

Last night sucked and we shouldn't lose that game, but it isn't like we're on the bubble and have lost six of eight.

Last year's baseball was elite the whole season.

Yep
Lots of people with a football mentality of every loss is catastrophic applying that same mentality to basketball
If we didn't have one of these meltdowns once a year I'd be more worried but the timing is conspicuous. We usually finish strong and this as weak of a finish as we've had under Buzz.
