But until we (TAMU) take basketball seriously and show an institutional commitment to the sport, we don't have much skin in the "location" game.
I can appreciate your thoughts but TAMU women could make a claim if they start to travel better. Seems TAMU has at least made a commitment to win in that part of the equation.

That's purely the result of a winning hire in Gary Blair.
And regardless of what happened at Kentucky, Billy Gillispie was hugely successful in Aggieland.
He brought about an unprecedented fever for men's basketball--even if only briefly.
Turgeon & Kennedy, however, have been complete misfires.
Short of our AD opening up the pocketbook and hiring a coaching phenom who ... oh, by the way ... is willing to play in an empty arena, we're going to hurt.
It's a cultural thing.
But winning can change it--I'm convinced (we've seen it).
