98% of us DGAF.

Picking a 10 seed is the easiest way to make it look like you aren't just picking chalk

I don't follow basketball like I once did so I don't keep up enough to even complete a bracket but I always enjoyed trying to pick the 12-5 upset because there seemed to always be one.

I think it's a bad matchup for us. Their size is going to be a problem for us.

Yeah Bucky ball only works when you have sharp shooters from the outside and size in the middle.
We have neither. Will be excited in two years once he has time to recruit.

Is Bucky ball code for basketball?

I basically always pick St. Mary's to win 2 games when they are in the tournament, so this is a bit of a dilemma for me.

This is kind of insane.

Texas A&M's lack of size has been an issue all season, as the loss of Indiana transfer forward Mackenzie Mgbako placed a massive hole in the starting rotation, leading to McMillan having to play small ball, while senior forward Rashaun Agee, who stands at 6'7" has played the five spot throughout the season.
Texas A&M ranks 203rd in average height but 11th in average pace, meaning playing fast and forcing turnovers will be the key to setting the tone and pulling off a victory that likely puts them in the second round to face Houston.
Still, this will also take an elite shooting performance.

When we played them in the R32 last year, I researched their concepts a good bit, and one of the more interesting (to me) was how they utilize the tip-out rebound and the slap-out rebound.
Their bigs basically use elite mid-shot positioning to gain leverage, get a hand on the ball, and slap it back towards the backcourt for a chance at an offensive rebound.
I love the systems and strategies that these smaller schools employ. Speaking of, for those unaware, their home arena (outside of San Franciso/Oakland) seats 3,500 and their primary rival is Gonzaga.

A&M did this a lot under Buzz. We were an elite offensive rebounding team under Buzz, but we couldn't score.
As for the game with St Mary's, if we can turn them over and tire them out, we can win. If we can't, we're toast.

I never said that. I said 98% of us don't GAF about a 48% winning chance. You're an aggie. Do you honestly GAF about that 48%? It's such an intriguing number.

Pretty sure that is why we were elite offensive rebounding team. We could not shoot hence a lot of rebound opportunities. Sort of a chicken and egg thing.
I've got us losing first round to St Mary's. Their length will be a huge problem unless we are just draining threes.
I think our guys are worn the Frick out from our lack of depth and full court pressure for the entire season. we shall see.
Anything we do in the tournament is icing on the cake. No one thought we had a chance to make the tournament this season.

Depends on it our shooters show up. If they do, we win. If they don’t, it will be difficult to do so

St Mary easy money
