Great win right there. Huge confidence boost! The Hump should be packed on Saturday for us to go 21-8. It’s fun for it to be fun again in March!

I keep hearing how more wins we need but my question how many more loses can A&M have?

I just checked it out. I see an early season win over West Virginia... besides that it looks like an average schedule with a bottom 1/3 w/l ration in SEC play. I don?t get the 6 seed.

I could understand if we had bad losses or lost one of the OOC games we shouldn't, but neither has happened.
It?s always been more about who you beat

I agree, but maybe we should look at making our pre-conference schedule a little tougher to avoid any doubt. I suppose since it's Howland's 3rd year, it's possible he still considered it a "building" year and maybe didn't think they would be competitive in the conference.

Vandy and Ole Miss are bad losses.

This is what I have a hard time understanding. Normally you could blame it on the one non conference loss but that?s to #11 Cincinnati. We have a winning record in a top 2 conference and we just beat the brakes off a good Aggie team. Finish 2-1 and make some noise in the SEC tourney and we in. Finishing 3-0 would be even better. I?ve been to way too many SEC tournaments to depend on them. It?s still the SEC refs.

11-7 is prob a 4 seed in the sec tourney
That’s 23-7
And if 8 teams from sec get in as they all have been saying for the past month they aren’t keeping out the #4 team in the league. I don’t give a **** what our out of conference schedule is .

Vandy is not a bad loss. Hardly anybody can win on that stupid court

That’s the truth. If we win out, it’s impossible for us to finish out of the top 4

Vandy isn’t a bad loss. Ole miss might end up being one.
But they beat Fla and Bama both in Oxford.
And everyone seems to forget the committee almost always awards team on how they finish last 10 games .
We would be 8-2 last 10

So it's better to LOSE to a good team than actually WIN a game. So dumb.

A&M is about to start tumbling. That 6 seed is never to be seen again. I'm guessing they'll drop to a 10 seed or worse very soon. Their OOC isn't going to carry them anymore. They are 6-9 in the SEC and will get punished for it. Just watch.

Truer words could not be spoken. Ultimately, I think we play our way into the tournament but it?s gonna hurt if we miss it. We played like a top 15 team tonight.

Wins against West Virginia (RPI 24), @USC (42), Buffalo (38),Ark (26), @Auburn (7), Kentucky (18)
Losses against Kansas (6) and Arizona (17). Worst losses are 2 to LSU (74)
6th SOS. WV and Arizona games were on neutral courts, USC and Kansas were on the road.
