We are going to melt hard if we lose before the second weekend, and rightfully so. We are set up for a deep run if we play like we did during the SEC tournament. Best draw I've ever seen for A&M in any post-season tournament.

Since a lot of our donors still only care about beating Texas, Kennedy losing to them in OKC may result in the new contract being nullified before it's even approved.

No excuse for this not to be our best tournament run ever. None.

so, uh, this doesn't seem to be a very positive scouting report -
The Vertical Breakdown - Ben Simmons vs Texas A&M

Brutal. But they could have just said 71-38.

For others in the completely-out-of-touch crowd, who or what is PEEJ?

dukee v, also known as peej or PEEJ, is a really prominent and one of the most infamous posters on TD for his unbelievably large record of being wrong whenever he makes a prediction. but its not just that, hes been known to come out and make prediction in favor of large favorites, and then the underdog will win the game. one of his most famous ones was when duke lost to lehigh as a 2 seed in 2012 and literally right before lehigh made their second half run, he made a post about how the game was over and duke was looking like the national champs

with that said, hes not wrong 100% of the time like some like to say. hes just wrong a lot, especially when hes really confident

in short, its a running joke on TD about a prominent poster

eh, what fun would that be? And they did hammer that point home

But I really didn't post it entirely for the Ben Simmons review. It was interesting to me to see them talk about the little things like how BS hates going left and then you see time and again we push him left. And the few times in the video he goes right he steps right into a double. Or showing how we sagged off and dared him to shoot mid-range jumpers and he declined.

It wasn't just one guy either. The whole team had a plan and executed it to perfection. When BS was in the lane for an easy jumper, people weren't running at him. Great discipline. These are things I certainly don't notice when I watch but it shows how an effective scouting report can be so meaningful.

Almost sounds like coaching.

The book is out in Simmons, he's tentative and soft. He shys away from contact and turns down open shots.

maybe so. The game logs don't really bare that out though. Simmons has averaged exactly 20.0/ppg since the last time he played A&M and that includes the UT game where his minutes were severely limited by foul trouble.

His FG% vs us in three games

Game 1: .333
2: .364
3: .364

You have to go back to the first 5 games of his college career to find any other game below that. All 3 A&M games are in the last 16 of his college career. Only once in that time did he shoot below 50% against an opponent not named Texas A&M

So maybe the book is out on him. That video certainly suggests so. But no one but us has been so effective at playing to it.
