Unfortunately, I had a 2:15 meeting and had to leave at half-time. I will leave the second-half comments to those who actually viewed it.

When I left, I was worried because we were, in my opinion, playing inconsistently and A$M was shooting poorly. I was worried that if we didn't play better, or if the Aggies shot better, we would be in trouble.
  • I saw a lot of turnovers that, in my opinion, were the result of out-of-control driving by Niang and Nader, particularly.
  • I saw us get beaten on the boards, although I don't know the numbers.
  • But I saw better play from Cooke and Burton, which was encouraging and hoped that Burton's jam might ignite us in the 2nd half.
  • And I saw George go to the bench with 2 fouls that were caused, imo, by his slow feet. One was just a dumb reach, and the other was probably just late getting to a spot - which is going to happen. The reach-in is the one that was a killer.
I missed all the flops, or at least didn't see any egregious ones in the first half. I would have felt better if we had been playing better and shooting poorly. I don't think we shot well, but the miscues stood out more than the shooting.
