Do or Die time for basketball tonight vs Texas A&M...
we are pretty much in elimination mode. Aggies are the definition of Jekyll & Hyde. Never know which team you're getting but I think we can upset them if we play up-tempo the whole game and try to gas them. They are down to 8 scholarship players. Starting PG is out for the year. Another G has been kicked off. Aggies are a big team with Davis, Hogg and Williams. Imperative that Ado stays out of early foul trouble. This is going to be a battle tonight and sounds like Holman is going to either be out or very limited tonight. Need DJX, Datcher and Feazell to step it up.

Seems the logical thing to do is play the small line up and run them to death.

Hopefully we drive a bunch and get them into foul trouble. We won't though, lol...

I'm in the "attack the rim and draw fouls" camp. Run their wheels off!

Time to break out the secret weapon. The man averaging a point a minute and shooting 70% on the year. 57% from deep.

Fast breaks or drive the lane. We don't need a half-court offense tonight.. hell it doesn't work anyway

I’m pumped about tonight. Should be a good game and really need it
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

We will lose a close one. Gonna say 71-65

I am too. Should be a war tonight. They've got the size but we've got the speed and depth and most importantly I think we are hungrier.

Come on,the due theory will take effect. We win on the road.

I’m pumped too. Biggest game of the year! Our rpi will shoot up with a win tonight. We need to run up tempo

If your history holds true, I like the prediction.

An additional bonus is that if we win, A&M falls to 6-9 in the conference and is in serious danger of not making the Tournament, despite their good RPI. That could potentially open up another bubble spot for us to take.

Get down big early, fight all the way back to take take lead, late. Then 2 or 3 terrible calls go against us. Rinse and repeat. Lose it 65-63.

Don't you see what he's doing? That's why he made the prediction.

A&M is comfortably in the tourney. They're projected as a 6 seed right now.

Bizarre given that they are 6-10 in the league right now and may not win another game. Could they fall out with a couple more losses? Would that hurt us as well?
