We hold a 108-61 all-time series advantage, 39-40 there. Beat them both times last year w/ our gay team so Wade Taylor, in his 13th year of eligibility, is going to be looking for revenge.
Aggies are #8 w/ a respectable 8-3 conference record but several of those have been close. It is doable. I hate early games in general, but folks tend to claim this helps the away team. Unfortunately, we have not played one this early all season. Can we get energy early? Maybe Cal takes the squad to O'Bannon's for some pregame Vegas bombs.

Aggies -8.5, currently
Need to get Thiero back going early.
Let's roll, you guys.
Almost forgot. Happy Valentine's to the lonely out there...

A former player told me he loved the early games hated waiting all day to play night games.
a quad 1 road win would be a really good thing for this team.
Definitely need it staring @ Auburn next Wednesday. The next 5 after are all winnable but would be great to go into those w/out 2 soul-crushers right before.
I put this in the "must win" category. Bad when you are an 8.5point dog in a must win game.
Fuck Aggie!
I hate their program and their faggy, delusional fan base.
I hope they go 0 for in every sport every year. They don't deserve any success.
Thiero's the one who needs to step it up today. He has slacked off.
Carter Knox gets the NBA four steps. We'll take it.
Bullshit carry call
Ball was hit. Not a double dribble.
Z was hooked. Not a foul on us!
Wow! We got that call on the road?!?!?
Make up call
Thiero mugged. No call.
Excellent D so far
It could easily be 12-0
Much better effort than the other night.
If told it would be 8-0 and 3 fouls to 1 at the first break, which way would you think those stats would go?
Keep it going.
How is that not taunting!
How was that not a foul?
Swats it out of bounds and they reverse the call to out on us
Fucking refs

I'm sorry
Theiro was foiled on that dunk.
Thiero got fouled three times on one dunk.
We can't have nice things.
No foul. Really? 9-0 run. Need a basket.
Quote from: Hizog on Feb 15, 2025, 11:22 AMThiero got fouled three times on one dunk.
Yes.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Davis is terrible. For every good thing he does, there are 9 bad.
Need some good minutes from Brazile.
Terrific inbounds play
Well that was an interesting inbounds play. If it's that easy, why isn't it always that easy?
Otherwise, their defense is giving us all kinds of hell.
When has a lob to Z worked at all this year? Needs to go in the "Stop it" thread.
Not to be nitpicky, but that guy traveled on that last basket
What a swing.
Thiero has been having lots of trouble finishing at the rim.
Miss a layup and give up a 3. Awful.
Quote from: Pig Benis on Feb 15, 2025, 11:44 AMMiss a layup and give up a 3. Awful.
We do that a lot.
Layups still hard
So many missed layups. I can't remember a team that missed this many. Like watching a women's basketball game.
I'm afraid A&M is going to physically beat the crap out of us.
Aidoo just had an all time bad shot
Nelly has thrown it to A&M 3 times.
How long to learn you can't pass through traffic against them? One would have been enough for me.
That was a bullshit foul. Goddamn
Fucking flopping
Horrible offensively, but still in it
Kinda hard to look good offensively when they allow you to bump and grab throughout each posession.
Sloppy as hell. Cut the turnovers in half and make a GD layup. Thank God for Knox today.
We're competitive on the road against a potential 1 or 2 seed. This is a good place to be.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Feb 15, 2025, 11:54 AMKinda hard to look good offensively when they allow you to bump and grab throughout each posession.
Unless you're Wade Taylor aka Temu JD Notae, in which case if you happen to graze a shoelace of a player within three feet of him while he's jacking a wild ass throw they send him to the line.
Three of our four guards have two fouls.
Fro guy can pump fake with the best of them. He did that earlier to Z also.
I think we fouled him there, but no call.
21 clearly pushing Aidoo out of bounds
A&M is just not a great basketball team. They play such ugly basketball
Turnovers and missed layups holding us down.
Quote from: Gambler on Feb 15, 2025, 12:07 PMTurnovers and missed layups holding us down.
Pretty much this. Z only played half of the 1st half so he should be fresh.
They're not gonna give Z any looks from 3 and they're too physical for him inside. This is the game you need Aidoo to step up.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Feb 15, 2025, 12:15 PMThey're not gonna give Z any looks from 3 and they're too physical for him inside. This is the game you need Aidoo to step up.
I'd consider playing them together a little bit.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Feb 15, 2025, 12:15 PMThey're not gonna give Z any looks from 3 and they're too physical for him inside. This is the game you need Aidoo to step up.
Their defense is both stuck to all our five like flypaper, and also preventing any lengthy passes or drives or much of anything inside. I don't know how you do that all at the same time, but they're doing it. Buzz is really a good coach.
DAVIS.
You stupid motherfucker. Take it away from them, and throw it right back to them by trying to do a full-length pass when our 1 is already covered by 2. What in the actual fuck.
Thiero can't finish at the rim, again. It's like his gyroscope is off.
Did y'all see that limp disappear when he didn't get the call?
Z misses a bunny, gives up a layup.
Holy Christ.
We need Jonas Aidoo to STEP THE FUCK UP and come in and be a big man and deal with their bully ball inside.
Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Feb 15, 2025, 12:01 PMFro guy can pump fake with the best of them. He did that earlier to Z also.

That is sideshow Bob to you
Cal kicked the scorer's table on that one.
Derp...season defining fuck up right there
This one is about to get away from us.
We can take solace in the fact that aTm will likely be one of if not the first top three seed knocked out of March Madness. There are probably 100 teams in the country with more talent. As soon as they run into one of those in the tournament that can also play with discipline their asses will be done.
We are the dumbest passing team Eva.
Good mini run. Need to hit the bunnies at the rim
Good response. If this team gets into the tourney, they will beca problem for teams. Never thought I'd say that a month ago.

Yeah, some top seed is going to be pissed when they face us early. They may still win, but it won't be the typical first round game.
Can't believe we're playing this bad and stupid and are still only down 3. Hit some layups and cut down the unforced errors and we're up by double digits.
Knox!
In my dream world Billy Richmond III would be a 4-year player for us.
Quote from: buff2.0 on Feb 15, 2025, 12:45 PMIn my dream world Billy Richmond III would be a 4-year player for us.
He's a better shooting Clint McDaniel
Where would we be without Carter Knox today.
Wagner hasn't done much, A&M is so exhausting that I think just handling the ball is all he can manage.
Quote from: BASS on Feb 15, 2025, 12:45 PMHe's a better shooting Clint McDaniel
Reminds me of a small Stacey Augman.
Quote from: BASS on Feb 15, 2025, 12:45 PMHe's a better shooting Clint McDaniel
Clint was a good shooter after his first year, but their freshman years seem very similar.
Roger Crawford is the one I think of when I see Billy.
Get over the hump right here and take the lead.
Well, never mind. Fuck this team.
I want Davis gone. Three shots in a row and missed every one of them.
You can't throw across court against this team. Seems like I've heard this before.
Davis sucks. Seems like I've heard this before.
Richmond is turning into a really nice player.
Davis is so bad.
We brain fart at the worst times

This. Fucking turnovers.
Davis with another stupid fucking tuneover.
Wide open 3.
Difference between Arkansas and just about every other team is every other team takes advantage of their opportunities given where as we just trip over our dicks.
Had Arkansas been that wide open on the 3, Davis would have clanked it off the backboard.
We might as well have kept the gay guy from Jacksonville this year instead of Nelly and saved a lot of money.
Different Davis, same retard mistakes.
Quote from: Gambler on Feb 15, 2025, 12:35 PMCal kicked the scorer's table on that one.
He tried. He whiffed. Seems fitting.
We may have something with Knox and Richmond.
Keep them, Big Z, probably Wagner, and add a big pile of muscle for inside presence and we could make a run in 2026.
Too many empty possessions. Had chances to take lead, but no thanks.

Bingo
Why do we insist on trying to throw it through A&M defenders to our guy who's on the other side of A&M defenders?
The entire game. The entire fucking game.
17 turnovers to 9.

The 11 AM start time just messes up the brain...it would be like us normal humans having to wake up and watch a basketball game at 2 am.
Quote from: DirkPiggler on Feb 15, 2025, 01:03 PMI've given up on that.
Watching the last three minutes, so did I.
Richmond scares me at the 1. Too careless.
Z is a bad matchup for us. Aidoo is better against them.
Well, 10 point lead for AM. Think this one is over.
I see potential with Richmond but don't get the love. He's no Clint McDaniel either.
He can't shoot from 3 and makes careless turnovers. He has 4 today.
Wagner just horrific today. 0 points and 4 turnovers. He got his manhood taken. Thiero out of sync.
Knox is an absolute dog. He won't be back and neither will Z.
Aggies wearing the ugliest uniforms in SEC history.
We got fucked on the spot there
Quote from: Thin Red Swine on Feb 15, 2025, 01:04 PMWatching the last three minutes, so did I.
If Wagner and Davis derp it up in the same game, we're getting that ass kicked.
Quote from: DirkPiggler on Feb 15, 2025, 01:13 PMIf Wagner and Davis derp it up in the same game, we're getting that ass kicked.
Yep. Fatal.
Jesus....Davis missed the entire court
Davis airballs a 3 in a critical moment. We're back to early-season form.
Fuck Johnell. I hate watching him play. GTFO of here already.
Davis needs to be taken out back and shot like a retarded bird dog.
There was only 1 person that should have taken that shot. Z. Period.
I think he even said so to that brain dead mother fucker.
I just can't watch this team. Just too many derpy bullshit plays.
That missed free throw was significant for some.
Quote from: Doc Hogaday on Feb 15, 2025, 01:24 PMThat missed free throw was significant for some.
Me for one. Dammit
Had them at +7.5 with Vandy and Wisky in a parlay.
The three primary ballhandlers combined for 11 turnovers.
That's a recipe for one and done in postseason, hell, pretty much any game.
Richmond, as good as he is. is not a PG. He's done better than expected though.
Gonna be tough Wednesday
Careless turnovers and getting lost on defense is aging the hell out of me.
I saw Hogstats post that this year's team has the 3rd lowest TO rate in program history. Never would've thought that.

I see that Devo Davis is averaging 2.0 points and 1.5 rebounds for the 12-12 Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Also not a good fit, I guess.
We were tied at 50 and had the ball. Went 4 straight possessions without getting a shot off. Incredible.

Was that when on one procession Davis missed three shots?
The whiffs on Davis and Aidoo were what kept us from being a very good team this year, and I'm not sure who saw that coming.
Injuries can't be helped but both those guys look like they have no idea how to put the ball in the hoop
