A&M just lost by 20+ at home to Iowa State, who they hadn't lost to in 8 years.

They lost to RICE at home in which they trailed by as many as 15.

They will probably finish 0-18 in the conference this year with the way they are playing.

They haven't scored more than 25 points in a half since mid-December.

Something seems off. They are a little more talented and a little deeper than last years team, but they have lacked the intensity of last years team.

I didn't expect them to be good but they should be better than this.

ISU, Rice, and aTm would all beat AU by a comfortable margin.

Also, the Big 12 seems to have more good basketball teams than the SEC does. The SEC has a few really shitty teams this year mixed with a handful of so-so teams and only a few really good teams.

A&M hasn't beaten anyone by a comfortable margin all season. They came dangerously close to losing to 1-win ULM last month.

Y'all won by 13. Get that shite out of here. Their guard had a phenomenal night shooting 9/12 from the field for 21 points. If not for him they wouldn't have had a prayer in that game and he probably won't shoot that well very often.

Y'all lost on the road to MSU and Baylor by 9 points. That is a hell of a lot more competitive than AU would have been in those games.

They have a good record and could be a very solid team.

UF just got blown out by a horrendous Tennessee team. I don't seem them predicting 0-18 in the conference or claiming to be worse than AU. And they just lost to a team that might actually be worse than AU.

The only player on the A&M roster that gives a shite right now is a sub-50% foul shooter and sub 20% floor shooter.

Y'all may have a second half collapse to end the season, but y'all are certainly a more talented team than AU and it probably isn't close.

A more talented team is not a better team. Right now, we're a far worse TEAM than Auburn is. At least their big men don't play like midgets.

The consensus among AU fans is that Chubb sucks. I don't know if he plays like a midget or not, but they are not a fan.

So no Aubies want to way in on your head coach?


Coach is good but we still have a long long long way to go.

Two of our guys are still soft due to surgeries, chub is just ugh. Our basic problem is the players think they are more talented than they are and don't feel the need to hustle, this team with last year's hustle would be a much better team.

The team is going in the right direction but just going to take a long time.

For RPI purposes, the only major conference team ranked lower than A&M is Utah...we'll undertake them soon.

Auburn has no fire and no solid inside presence.

Do you have any idea why Barbee has not signed his contract yet? It's been 2 years......

Kinda hard to get your players to commit when the head coach has yet to.
