Played at Texas A&M tonight, went down 78-46.

They didn't look as sharp as NMSU either in my opinion.

Really hope Big Z is available for that game.

I've already conceded that we lose to Kansas in the early season, but take them down in the NCAA Tournament when we have all of our critical pieces.
This is why I'd rather be in an in season tournament at Thanksgiving. We always play one if these games so early and get beat because are young and inexperienced. Don't see how that helps us.

Like we won't lose 1 or 2 games in a Thanksgiving tourney. What's the difference?
 
Kentucky against KU is, at best, House Money, on this one, for us.

No way anyone is seriously looking at Kentucky to outright win this one ?

Right?

I'm good with the mulligan. Going to simply enjoy the show either way.

These easy games are a nice warm up We want to see more intense D,more steals, and none stop hustle. Its wartime,do whatever the team needs to win.

Are we gonna wait until Z is cleared by the ncaa before using his real name? I admit I don’t know his real name bc it’s “z this z that”. The other thing why would he be available? The ncaa is gonna drag its feet. Nothing happens fast with them.
 
Thought about that, as my home will bring 1.5 million, and that will go a long way in another state. Still pondering..........

Yeah, that isn't as good a team from what I can see. I'm curious to see how good NMSU is against other comp. They were definitely playing hard and didn't give up. They just got overwhelmed at one point. But I was impressed with their intensity. It also helped that they made some tough shots in that first half that probably won't always fall for them. PLUS, Kentucky wasn't making shots they will usually make (and as they did in the 2nd half) It kept the game closer. As for A&M Commerce, I don't see them as a quality team. I think NMSU is better than we made them look, especially in that 2nd half.

I don’t expect to beat the #1 team in the nation with a bunch of kids. Not right now, but come late February and March I expect to win them all!

How many other players are waiting on the NCAA to determine their eligibility status for this season? Just curious, is there a stat or list out there somewhere? because for these types of situations to drag into the season like this is ridiculous and a complete injustice to the young man. What exactly do they need to see or do that taking so long?
 
I thought NMSU had some pretty decent talent....certainly better than most of the early season cupcakes we feast on.

Kansas lost to Illinois so yea, I think we can beat them. I think we have about a 30% chance without our bigs. We'll need 5 players in double figures to do it.
 
Going to the game. I do think we come out sluggish. I think just a natural tendency after a 40 pt win and a big game vs KU looming. I can’t see how a team gets up for this one.

In the end tho I still think we win 25-30 lol
 
Texas A&M Commerce is playing Texas Tech tonight on ESPN+!

I will be watching to check them out.
 
Our game against Commerce is being played at the same time Arizona plays at Dook. I hate when that happens.

FRI 7:00pm
ESPN2
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham, NC
 
Honestly that game, live with dicksinon getting his, take away the others, and get the game up and down

It’s like people are forgetting HD has to guard Tre Mitchell. If Tre can stay out of foul trouble I like our chances.

I don't think Dickinson or KU is worried about having to guard Mitchell.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Tre Mitchell and what he gives us, and he will obviously be able to draw Dickinson away from the rim which is huge!

But HD is so much bigger than Tre- I don't expect Tre to have a huge game, I think he'll get swallowed up a bit.

But we'll see!
