A&M shooting out their ass from the charity stripe as the worst free throw shooting team in the conference, and the officials awarding them a ridiculous amount of free throws, was simply infuriating. Glad it didn’t cost us, but man it almost did.
IMO we basically blew them out when you factor in all that nonsense.
This game won’t boost our advanced metrics as much as it should have
Thought we’d jump higher in AdjO than we did when you consider we put up 77 on the #6 defense. But we only moved up 4 spots.
I will admit it was a very good offensive performance in spurts. I was frustrated with the offense for a lot of the game because it felt like Lanier was the only one that showed up, but they righted the ship and played really nice ball down the stretch.
Maybe I’m harder on this particular team than I should be, it’s a major miracle this team is 22-5 with how many players we lost. But it’s also probably because I know Barnes doesn’t have many years left, we lose a ton of production from this team as well, and the opportunity for a Final Four is closing.
I will say, barring something unexpected. The window closes after this season.
I hope everyone has enjoyed this 10 year run.
Me too, but you know Barnes has been to a Final Four, right?Yep. I have a feeling this year may be the last opportunity for us. So, I’m on the same page with you there. Which is why maybe I have been a bit more frustrated than is warranted at times. I want Barnes to get that elusive Final Four, because the program deserves it and he deserves it.
