I need a Texas A&M scout report, pronto!

[89Husker]

Ok, that’s a little strong, but who’s got the info on them?

Don’t shoot 3 well.

 

28.4% as a team.

[Norm Peterson]

They have 2 guards who combine to score about half the team's points. They don't have a very deep bench. Six guys over 20 minutes and only 2 other guys in double-figure minutes.

[Huskerpapa]

I wonder if they have the video of Trev storming the court...for Nebraska.

So do the Crayton fans pissed at Trev cheer for Nebrasketball this year?

I think the feeling is pretty mutual...neither of our fan bases cheer for the other. 

[cozrulz]

looks like they rebound

[brfrad]

They get to the FT line, but struggle shooting from 3.  They are about average defending the 3.  They are okay forcing turnovers.  They don't turn the ball over and crash the boards.  Just an assumption, I am guessing because they miss so many 3's they are able to get long rebounds.

 

This is a good match-up for us just looking at the stats.  Especially, if we keep them off the boards.

Cultish vibe with a new AD who reminds me of Reverend Lovejoy.

[tcp]

just try to ignore the next possible game this time....want no part of Houston....this is one of the biggest reasons I wanted to get to a 7 seed, which we likely would've done if we make it to the finals. 

 

on the other hand, A&Ms as good an opponent to break the streak on as any and the broadcasters will get plenty of fodder for canmera closeups off Trev looking confused as to who to root for...

Reminds me more of Brother Love's travelling salvation show.

Trev won't be there.  If he is, God help him.

Here’s a link to Texas A&M’s 2023-24 basketball schedule and results.

Buzz Williams can coach and the Aggies have good guards which is always a problem in March.  Enjoy the BBQ in Memphis.

This is very true.

 

But I was thinking of all the reasons we're going to beat them anyway. So ...

 

1. They can't shoot for shit.

2. Their AD sucks ass.

3. They're from Texas and everyone knows Texas is the worst. Sportswise.

4. They're in the SEC so everyone hates them.

[PimpMario]

They are hot too (5-1).  They are guard centric and good at getting to the line and driving which is always important in march.  

 

Either we make 3s and we can win going away or we get into a slugfest and they might be favored for that.

Get through A&M and I'd be less worried about Houston than North Carolina or UConn.  I'm kind of annoyed they paired us against A&M.  I'm sure the team will stay focused but hate that is could be a distraction.

KenPom has us as 55% to win, 77-75

[throwback]

SEC Network will have a selection special from 8-10 pm Central. I'm guessing they'll pick A&M to roll.

[Cazzie22]

Trev Alberts has nothing to do with this game.  The team and fans should focus all our efforts on the Aggie BB team.  Hope we have a great following in Memphis.

ESECN gave us almost zero chance on their Bracketology show.  They pretty much thought we are all Keisei.  Jay Bilas was the only one who mentioned Mast as another player.

Yup, that sounds on brand.

 

BTN will have Fred on here in a few minutes.
