Aggies bite the dust 48 hours later

It’s almost as if winning on the road is very difficult.

Just a thought….

And not being as locked in mentally. No way Aggies were as focused tonite as they were Sat.

The crowd at Vandy reminded me of some church league crowds when Baptist played the Church of Christ

 

[Delmar]

Hilarious. I hope the Vandy crowd was chanting “Overrated” after the game.

Hard to be overrated when you’re not even rated

The AP top 10 is 33-34 against unranked teams on the road this season.

Yeah, we rarely play well at Arky.

I think they were chanting You're Not Rated

48 hours?
Wasn't it closer to 72 hours later?

Yeah when I lived in Vegas I met a young gent who made a living solely off of betting on college basketball and he rarely bet against the home average or better home team in the power 5. This conversation was held in 2013. The SEC has only gotten more competitive since then. I was corrected when I said this team isn’t strong on the road, but I think at best we are average even with a couple of solid dubs.

Another thought is this team, while long, isn’t super physical and seems to struggle against teams who are multiple in long and big men that are complemented with average or better guard play. Seems like we tend to do better with teams whose best players are guards even if they score a lot of points, because we match them at times and dominate the boards. Could be wrong, but that’s what it seems like from the SC and A&M games.

There was no Vandy Crowd.

I worry when we can't hit layups and other shots six feet from the basket

This is why we Methodists are the peacekeepers and rarely had teams to enter into the leagues. lol "Conflict avoiders" lol

This made me think of the the Tim Wilson song "Church League Softball Fist Fight"

Even Kentucky won last night at home.

Nope, you're right on. We can run with anyone and dominate guard-oriented teams, but SC and A&M showed our weakness in dealing with physical fronts not afraid to punch us in the mouth. Not sure if we have the personnel to change that, but we're going to come up against physical teams in March for sure, and Barnes needs to figure out a way to deal with it beforehand.

Complicating matters the other night was A&M shooting lights out and preventing us from doubling to stop the guard penetration. It was kind of the perfect storm for them, but it's something CRB needs to address before March.

I agree and A&M is around the seed number that were likely to see in the second round. Good thing is that we have time to figure out how to combat those type of teams.

Methodists got booted out of the league. They played a bunch of guys who never stepped foot in a church but sure could play. Lol
