* Let me say up front I am the most casual of A&M basketball fan. Don't really care for the game but I will throw my support behind the uniform, especially when playing that putrid orange.
* I didn't expect the team to even be good enough to disappoint me this season but here we are. Thought this was a season I could just immediately throw in the crapper with zero interest under the banner of rebuilding.
* Alas, the 7-and-1 SEC start got the team at least on my radar... and hello disappointment, my old friend. So as a guy who doesn't do much more than look at the occasional box score, what happened? I believe our schedule was front-loaded with weakness so that explains part of it. But why do we beat the sips on the road early and lose to them at home today? Injuries? Regression? Opposing coaches figured out how to counter "Bucky Ball" (at least with this cast of thrown together characters)? Aggie football and baseball are the only sports that still have the ability to hurt me but i'm curious to hear your reasonable speculation on how this hoops season has gone.

Good question.

I have been a huge Aggie basketball fan - and loved the Buzz years.

Like you, I did not expect much this year with the new coach and team - but, also like you, got reeled in when they started conference play - winning against good and bad (mostly bad) teams - but including Auburn and tu.

I've been impressed - even in some close losses to good teams. We should've beat Tennessee. Could've beat Bama.

However, this team cannot win without making threes. For some reason, we have regressed in the outside shooting department as of late. And Dominguez has been bad the second half of the season. He often hesitates to shoot now, even if given a chance.

If we can get back to hitting double digit three-pointers a game, then we have a chance.

BTHO Kentucky!!!

AG
Maybe our conditioning for full court press has caught up. Anecdotally it seems teams don't have an issue the past several weeks breaking it, so we just wear ourselves out and got no legs left on long range shots.
