Texas A & M (12/7/09)

[Censored by Laurie]

oK , so I just got home. So this may have been already mentioned , but we are a much much much better team when White plays the point with a pass 1st mind.

No1 in chat ??

You mean when a point guard plays like a point guard teams play well?

[MeanMag]

I say put in Mangy Knoxx and fire away.

From what I've seen in the 2nd half and heard on the radio he has found the open man most of the night

Hell of a game. I'll take this loss on me for not watching.

[meangreenacct]

I'd dissapointed we lost, but on the bright side...I think game would have been closer with DJ and Mangrum. Also proud that we never gave up.

[bstnsportsfan3]

Like i said though...they are #16 in the country...we were without our starting PG and our 6 man...not a bad loss...good effort by the guys tonight....see everyone at the pit sunday, lets show ULM who we are!

[Fitzyrection]

Good effort from the guys. That ridiculous TAMU scoring run at the end of the first half was a killer, but they kept fighting and outscored A&M in the 2nd.

[Green P1]

ass

I deserved that. I'm sorry.

[NT03]

I deserved that. I'm sorry.

I forgive u

[Stan R]

Very entertaining game to watch. Proud of the effort shown tonight and I felt like we had high energy the whole night. Ready to catch some conference home games now. Hopefully this kind of game will boost attendance at home.

[MeanMag]

Would have liked to have seen a better % from the line and definitely from 3 point range. A&M had crazy shooting tonight from FG and FT, and I don't think it was due to a lack of defensive intensity/effort. I'm not ashamed of losing to them like that. Good showing.

[chrisfisher]

Great effort from the Green... that run by A&M in the first half was the game changer... we were really only 1 player away from an upset... we just needed that reliable 3 shot and it could have gone either way...

[UNT90]

WTF

Down big early, rally to make the game seem closer than it is... Just sayin.

TAM is a really good team, and I think the guys gave it all they had.

Agree to disagree. I don't think we were ever down by more than 20 were we ? Scores in BB are much different than FB. This is a game of runs. Let's just say 10 points is like a touchdown. If we were down say , 20 that's just 2 TDs... nothing really. Score , next possession a pick 6 , whole new ball game.

If we played the 16th ranked team in football , the game would be over by the end of the 1st quarter. Let's say we played Pitt or whoever , they would beat us by however many they wanted. 60,70... whatever they felt like. We play them 10 times , they beat us 10 times by 50+

Now this game , that's only 5 shots that just happended to rim out. We play this team 10 times , we stand a chance to win 1 or 2 with all games being within a 10pt ranges That's really nothing at all.

We were down 19 at one point. Just a cheap comment on being down big at half and then closing to a more respectable score toward the end, although you would have to agree that this game was never in doubt in the 2nd half.

Just left over football angst, I guess.

[FirefightnRick]

Much better D with about 7 minutes to go. Got to play more like that all the way through to win on the road against ranked oponents. Had we got some of the roll-in layups to drop at that point we may have made a game of it?

[Quoner]

We've got a lot of hot opinions in this car, but we were only four or five plays away from winning that game and being a six win team.

[GrandGreen]

I thought this was by far the best played game of the year from the short-handed Green. Tremial and Odufuwu played with the big guys from A&M despite a very loosely called game on the inside. I think we really missed Hogans tonight. Holman has got to mature quickly because the front court subs are a current weakness of this team. Better 3 point shooting could have changed this game as could a healthy Mangrum or Johnson. White continues to play well. He gets some criticism on this board, but I don't think many are recognizing he is the focus of the opponents' defense. I fell better about this team than I have all year, hopefully they are beginning to come together. As an aside, Jim Haller is a great analyst on these games. He is fair and does his homework on both teams.
