What is it about A&M that they were so highly ranked?

Why? Based on what? This team might make it to Madison Square Garden in the NIT.But ,good night,if they make the NCAAs some team with a hyphen in their name will butcher them.

Overreaction to blowout wins against overrated teams (West Virginia, USC).

Your non-conference RPI was 11th last time I checked. That’s still really good. Lose 2 more out of the last 3 and I’d be worried.

I never understood either. We have an incredibly high ceiling, but because we have the discipline of a crackhead with a trust fund so we have no business being taken seriously

A&M is about to fall to 17 - 11 + 6 - 9 in the SEC and the commentators are still saying that they're a lock for the NCAA tournament

Probably because we had one of the most impressive nonconference resume, and then randomly decided to beat auburn and kentucky. I have never seen a team as dysfunctional as this one.

We have a lot of talent but an idiot as head coach. Sound familiar?

They are a hot and cold team. When they are hot they can play and beat anybody in the country and do it in consecutive games.

Up and down no doubt, but I think A&M will be one of those teams the high seeds will not want to see in the tourney.

In the NIT? We aren't making the NCAA. That team has opened a big old can of quit.

Based on if they're at 100% healthy and not missinf anybody, they have one of the best front courts in CBB. Look at what they did against Auburn, they were completely healthy that night. Auburn might have pulled it out had Bryce Brown not got hurt in the 1st half, but that's still our only loss where we actually played a decent game. The Temple, @Bama, and @South Carolina games were all a combination of Auburn playing uncharacteristically bad, having our worst nights on offense all season, while the other team also happened to be on a hot stretch and playing some of their best games on offense all year.
But Texas A&M just outplayed us. They had a great game plan that worked, abd every time we started getting hot they dug their heels in on defense and answered right back on offense and just played that much better than us. There's a reason that's our only home loss this year.

And as you saw during the game at Kentucky, even when 100% healthy, they can't always overcome shaky coaching.

I don’t understand why someone who is so clearly a UK fan rolls with that Aggies logo.
