Out of those that actually get on the court, I think only the following return for next season:

Gurley
Holt
Miles
Bediako
Burnett

For a while, I was pretty confident Miles would transfer but I'm not so sure anymore. Sticking to Gary going though.

The difference in how officials called our game last night vs. the Auburn game right now is pissing me off.

I'm not saying he's underrated, because he does get his fair share of credit and pub, but Kessler is a damn good basketball player and impacts the game in many ways. In some ways, I think he's the most important player on their roster.

absolutely he is

He's not only dangerous down low, he impacts your ability to help on D. You can't leave him.

I hope that's what Chuck grows into, especially defensively. Kessler impacts everything within ten feet of the rim.

Which is interesting because I don't think we tried to bring him in because he didn't "fit our system" but he's hit 10 3pt while Gurley has only hit 18. Not a big difference there but Kessler does a lot of other things that help you win. And it's not like he has clogged the lane for Auburn or slowed them down. Now, maybe we did try to get him and I just missed it.

Aggie playing good ball. Long way to go. They look very confident. Aub needs to wake up.

I have a feeling it will be A&M, LSU, Tenn and UK in the final four of the SEC tourney


They are a match up problem, playing with confidence and a spot in the big dance.

Kessler going to AU was already a forgone conclusion anyway. A lot of people were surprised he ever went to UNC to begin with out of HS. I can't remember if we contacted him or not, but him going to AU was the worst kept secret of portal season. Before last season even ended, people were already saying he was transferring to AU. Sucks too, because he's been great for them.

Auburn’s guards have completely disappeared late in the season. Kessler and Smith still make them a very good team, but their guards really need to step up. A&M’s guards are owning them in this game.

Auburn's last 7 games away from home

- W by 1 @ Missouri
- W by 2 @ Georgia
- L by 4 @ Arkansas (OT)
- L by 1 @ Florida
- L by 5 @ Tennessee
- W by 13 at Miss St (OT)
- down 16 at halftime to A&M

That's something that gives you pause when you look at tournament play.

Pearl and AU have just owned the state of Georgia in recruiting. I wish we could grab some there, but he just takes what he wants

Unless Bruce is able to corral them, KD Johnson and Wendell Green will shoot them out of a NCAA Tournament game.

This season can be salvaged if both us and Auburn only win one more game.

Yuck, and I bet half of those misses are Johnson and Green.

A&M deserves our tournament spot.

It's a good thing we're not in the NIT this year because we would absolutely lose a first-round home game to some Norfolk State equivalent.
