Well yeah I guess shots should be more predictable?

Seriously, shooting so many 3's you should expect long rebounds. And we should be active enough to get our share.

15 turnovers and 32% from the floor . 27 points given up on TO

Weirdest thing about game: that Vegas favored the AGS, just was hard to understand


Silver lining: maybe a small reduction in ridiculous revisionist posts about having no offense past few years and also reduction in wild predictions of scoring this year


Takeaway: hideous performance but Bucky warned us it may happen early. As hard as it was to watch, it didn't bother me much since it's the 3rd game, first versus good opponent, first on road. I'd be more concerned if those types performances stack, I do want to see signs of coaching in that we get better as season progresses. I'm in for the long (multi year) haul with a new coach, and recruiting shows signs of stepping in which will change roster in years 2 and 3. Also, Isaacs still getting into post injury playing shape and no Mgbako yet.


All in with Macmillan and I'll be at next two Friday games.

A beatdown on the road against a P4 school in the early days of our new coach's first season and without our best player was bound to happen. Learn from it and move on.

Banking on needing time in the system is false hope in portal era. That was ugly.

I counted 5 possessions where if we make the extra pass, we have a wide open 3. And I'm not even counting kickouts. I don't like the result, but I'm not concerned as we just don't have the chemistry yet.

Plus, if you look at regression to the mean, most players shot well below their past shooting percentages. I imagine our shooting will not look like that every game. I imagine that's the floor.

I'd like to know how many teams in NCAA history have won a game with those 3 stats? I assume zero.

We're not even close to as bad as that first Buzz team

His first team was 16-14, it was heat 2 that was bad, 8-10, 2-8 in conference. The Covid excuse

We did not play or practice for a month in Year 2.

Our half-court offense wasn't ready for prime time. But neither was the half court defense or transition defense. When we can't force turnovers, we need an improved Plan B.

That's right we where the only team that had to deal with COVID

That Covid year team was going to be bad whether they practiced or not. Andre Gordon was their best guard

Honestly a good thing it was a forgotten year

So it's a great gage of performance...

I meant the first team at this point of the year. That's the team that lost to Harvard, Fairfield, and Temple and had single digit wins against Texas Southern, A&M Corpus, Monroe, and Troy.

Did end up winning 6 of 8 at the end though.

Was a serious ass kicking . Might help Bucky focus the players more , might break confidence , probably somewhere in between. I'll be there to see the next chapter vs UCF.

And the only team this year with a whole new roster.

Absolute dumpster fire, but I'm hoping it was just a bad game. I watched us miss 3-4 put-backs on one possession, and no matter how bad we actually are, I'm confident we're not THAT bad.

"And the only team this year with a whole new roster."


If you can believe it, Miami and NC State turned over their entire rosters too.

Same. Still excited about him as a coach.

It's never good to lose but it's a loss on the road to a good team. It's how we respond from this and it will get better.

Aggie basketball fans are an odd bunch. Very willing to watch **** ball as long as they like the coach. Thats as bad a loss as you can have to start a new era.

So we shouldn't watch another game now? It's game 3 of a new coach.

And my guess is very few actually watched. I didn't watch, I had it on DVR, then stopped watching 5 minute in then looked up final score and said it wasn't worth watching the rest
