Atta boys!

Bucky ball is pure cinema

If you want to know the effect our press has on other teams

Great quote by Rylan Griffen about an exchange he had with Josh Hubbard tonight:

"Josh actually came to me and he was like 'dang, ya'll gonna stop pressing? Like, I'm getting tired out here,' and I'm like, 'man, unfortunately not, bro."

Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMillan on how his defense limited Josh Hubbard to 12 points: "You have to lean on him. We want to play mother in law defense on him with constant nagging and harassing. It had an impact on him."

Its possible that in the last ten season's, only last year's team ends up being clearly better defensively than this one, and that to me is just mind boggling.

18 assists and 2 turnovers . That is extra strong .

Team just keeps getting better. I don't think I've seen a team improve this much in 2-1/2 mos.

MSU Coach Chris Jans talks about it being Agee's 7th year in college basketball, saying something like "the kid guarding Agee was a freshman, so in elementary when Agee was a Senior." He really very complimentary though.

MSU Coach Chris Jans : "Execution against Texas A&M press: "It was OK. I thought we did an OK job against their press. That's the thing about them, the prep is just different than any team that we play or will play. It's a lot if you don't spend the time to get organized and worry about the press-O on the made shot, the missed shot, the free throw. It's just unique that way."

Guarding Agee: "He's an older player, been in college basketball for seven years so he's picked up a lot of nuances and knows the game inside-out and how he needs to play it as an under-sized five man. He plays bigger than he is because of his arm length. "He just really understands angles and shot fakes and taking what the defenses gives. They got us right out of the chute there when they ran a play they haven't ran, at least from our film study. They expected us to trap it and we did and they got the three to start the game. That caused us to start going back and forth in terms of how we were going to defend him, doubling him or not.

He's a veteran player, played at a lot of programs at a lot of levels, and has seen it all at this point and learned and grown. He was a key part to them winning the game."

Bucky in year 1 flips his roster, completely changes style of play and still had 6 guys make 3's. His team looked better prepared. Ran a smooth offense and executed much better.
We had 4 guys make 3's but only one when game was in question.
How does Bucky go in and find a bunch of shooters in year 1 and have his team better prepared.

Bucky said in his postgame interview he wanted to see the stats on fewest turnovers in an SEC game. I haven't seen the raw turnover numbers, but Torvik shows turnover %.

A&M's 4.3 TO% was the lowest in an SEC game this year. Miss St had 5.2% against Bama on 1/13.

In 2025 in SEC play, there were 2 lower than us last night:
- Ole Miss 1.4% vs Kentucky on 2/4/25
- Miss St 2.8% @ Arkansas on 3/8/25

In 2024 in SEC play, only A&M 2.7% @ Arkansas on 1/16/24 was lower than us last night.

There was 1 game in 2023, none in 2022, 1 in 2021.

My guess is he gets a call today from his mother in law.
