Glad I got the day off!

First game up today.

 

[DefenseBB]

What happens is LSU does beat Texas A&M? Do our resident LSU fans rejoice or implode? What say you @SECbbfan24 and @Dwilliams02 ?

I will always root for them to win.

If we don't end up making the NCAAT there are problems...

I am always amazed how much Blair's teams struggle against LSU's matchup zone.

10-9 LSU with 2 min left in first

I pointed this out in the weekly multi-game thread, but I've just realized that LSU, amazingly, has a chance at an at-large bid, thanks to the NCAA's waiving of the usual .500 minimum winning percentage in order to be tournament-eligible (thanks to @Vowelguy for the assist).

Creme has LSU among his "next four out," and one can only imagine that an eligible resume with 2 wins over Texas A&M — a team that hasn't lost to anyone else this season! — would be difficult for the committee to pass over, sub-.500 overall record notwithstanding.

This is a must win today to get to that point. Without that, LSU is 1-6 in their last 7 games (no wins in Feb) and the crap OOC slate is gonna bite them as well

 

[SECbbfan24]

Pointer is keeping this competitive but can’t do this all game

 

[SECbbfan24]

This offense is trash

What @SECbbfan24 said is basically my response as well.

I've seen too many airball earlier in the game. Had to do busy work. Tune back in. A blowout

 

[Dwilliams02]

This is basically the expectations. I still can have confidence playing a&m though lol. But gotta take the good with the bad.

 

[SECbbfan24]

That’s it. I think this game was needed to make post season potentially. The end of the year collapse and starting the season out badly will do them in

 

[JellyBean]

Good win by Texas A & M.

Is Fargas contract year after next season. Kinda hard to see her gone with all the football stuff going on (the Title X stuff). They may not renew her contract though

Lol next year is gonna be worse than this year, especially if Pointer and Aifuwa depart as expected to be.

The 4 & 5 is very weak. I can live with the guards. Big downgrade, but we lost chloe jackson and Raygiene and somehow survived. Now the post players is different. We had Mitchell and Faustine. We really hurted when we lost Mitchell and never recovered.

Now looking at the Freshman high school highlights. Hall, Ware and McNeil can step in immediately.
