Going from 17.6% to 26% 3pt in the last 45 seconds really makes this game look a lot different than how it really was

Just a tough team to watch right now after seeing early success. Hopefully by some miracle we can get a game in the dance.

I'm sad.

This sucks.

2-6 in February.

What a ****ing epic collapse.

Either peaked early or Vegas called

lol yeah definitely a Vegas conspiracy keeping the Ags down!

You're miserable and an absolute beating. Go back to surlywhorn

I'm like you. Losing important games - especially against those aszhats - is really upsetting. Seemed like they didn't play with as much emotion or intensity as compared to earlier in the year.

Has Agee ever made a 3 ptr??

Is this the first game you've watched this year?

Season ticket holder. You?

Maybe instead of just holding the tickets you should try watching the games.

Cmon boys! We got this!!!

Yep. You're right. Your boys got it

Losing high profile games against tu in all major sports has been a likely outcome for as long as any of us cares to remember. Learning to live with it is as unpleasant as coping with a chronic health malady.

Take the L, again, and move on.

Holding season tickets so you can be seen at the game is far different from actually watching the game as you so painfully just proved with your original post.

Were you born in 2000?

Remember this is the same team who won at their place in Austin, and has looked strong against tops teams Alabama and Tennessee and lost those games by one possession margin taking them down to the wire. Coach told us, some nights will look like this team will never lose, and some nights will look like they will never win again. He's been candid and on target all along. He's building a program and we will look back at this season as the cornerstone. There's still more basketball left to play. Enjoy it!

Yea, our baseball team is unproven right now. I obviously hope they beat the **** out of UCLA tonight.

But I'm not gonna pay $20 after watching this ****ty game. Had enough Aggie sports for today

Good call missing last night's baseball game. It did not go well.

Vinson wanted to be a hero against his former team and took two ill advised 3s. Both of which our team did not expect which lead to a difficult defensive possession and a free two points for tu. Absolutely selfish play that resulted in two empty possessions for us and 2 free points for them - basically the difference with a few minutes to go. He's probably the only eligible player I don't want on our team next year.

Another game where we had our opportunities but didn't take advantage of them while our opponent did. Add in some bad luck on a 3 pointer bouncing 5 feet in the air and then going in and several three pointers in the final 3 seconds of the shot clock and... how were we still in that game until the very end?!

I thought the first three was fine. He clearly has the green light from Bucky. The second one I didn't love.

I watched him during warm ups and he wasn't making 3s without a defense on the court... if I had to defend the shots I would say that at least he was open and it wasn't like our other players were getting good looks either. Too early in the shot clock to resort to that though. IMO we can get a wide open 3 from him any time we want - they'll give it to us!

He's made a couple this season though, including in the Bama game, so he obviously has the green (or at least yellow) light. If he does have it, then it's not an egregiously selfish play like you're saying.

We might not like it, but if the coach is okay with it then he's gotta shoot when he's open. Though the rhythm just felt off on that second one.

It upset me more that we weren't working to get Clemence more trey attempts

Was listening to the Texas radio broadcast. Their exact words after the first bucket were "That's still the guy we want attempting 3s. He shoots 19%."

Rylan Griffen's recent conversation on the Answering the Call 12th Man Foundation podcast shared more information about the philosophy of the system. Rylan said, if you look at the numbers, offense is better within the first 6-8 seconds of the shot clock, and the later the shot clock the worse it is. He said better offense is early in the shot clock. They get down court as quickly as they can so they're not playing against a set defense and shoot quickly. As an example, frontcourt player Rashaun Agee who shoots 20% from 3 has 73 3pt attempts. Most other teams run halfcourt sets with slower tempo and that would not happen, but in this offense it does. The system is based on early shot attempts. Rylan also mentions ghosting as an offensive tactic of the system. Looking back, I think ghosting led to many open 3s for him, Dominguez, Isaacs; and lately Clemence when he doesn't pass the ball instead. I understand more after listening to Rylan on the podcast.
