Yep - same. Solid win, especially continually responding when they cut it to single digits.

We need Giddens to step up. I wish we would start Herb and let Ingram come off the bench. Even the announcer said he would have a hard time starting him.

Great win but I will hold off on my excitement until I see how we respond Tuesday @Vandy.

Much better 2nd half. Still terrified about what Trae Young is going to do to our defense.
Crowd was much better than I expected.

1st win over a top 5 team since 2004 against #1 Stanford (probably helped that A&M was missing 2 starters).

Not trying to discredit the win, but they were without their best shooters and they shot flat today.
But we curb stomped the shite out of them and Sexton shot 3-12. I get the hesitancy in getting excited, but that was an extremely impressive dismantling of a top 5 team. That doesn't mean we won't turn around and lose to Vandy, but even if that happened it doesn't make today's win any less impressive.

I noticed Ingram on the block down low for free throw rebounding. Seemed kinda odd considering his size.

Look, I'm just being cautious as always. My body is so accustomed to the disappointment.
I'm happy as hell right now

You can't ignore what they were missing.

Just like we can't ignore us not having or best returning player for all but the last 3 games (and he's still not himself).

I know some of y’all like reading what Blake Lovell posts a lot of times about SEC basketball. He said what I’ve been thinking, even if A&M had those 2 players tonight Bama still likely wins playing the way they did. We probably just would’ve had a nail biter 79-77 type of win

I don't think the 2 situations are equivalent. And can we agree that Hall is our best returning player?

How so? And absolutely! When I said best returning player I meant that in retrospect. Key was our best player last year. Hall has improved a shite ton in the past year and is easily the best of the returning players currently.

Sexton will handle young I believe, tempo will be key in that game when time comes. If we bring tonight's effort every night we ll be a tough out . To everyone discrediting the win, a&m has been winning without gilder and Hogg so that excuse dsnt fly in my eyes. We beat a top 5 team and it's on the resume anyway u cut it .

For starters, we're ranked accordingly based on how we've played without Key. A&M got to be #5 largely due to how they played with with their full allotment. Without 2 starters, it's hard to say they are the #5 team.

No one is handling Young with the way he's playing. That kid is unreal and will be fun to watch at the next level.

I'm thinking more along the line of assists. Our perimeter defense was dog shite tonight. Thank God they couldn't shoot tonight, because they were wide open all game.

They have only played Northern Kentucky and Buffalo without them. They should beat those two with out them.

Why doesn't that excuse fly? You've been making excuses for our team all season. If it works for us it should work for other teams
