Classic Blunders:
1) Getting involved in a land war in Asia
2) Going in against a Sicilian when death is on the line

Been saying it all year with the boy. Win or lose this team is a blast to watch.

I attribute this largely to the players but you’ve got to give credit to Odom as well.

I love it when the team absolutely commits to winning a game and they definitely did that tonight. We were locked in all night. Love these guys!

They have been a blast to watch on offense all year but it’s been even better to see the Aggies step up on defense down the stretch. As many have said, that is the reason for this winning streak.

One of the best brands of basketball in Aggie history.

They are a true team. No egos, they play hard. Very easy team to get behind and root for.

I actually give Odom a lot of credit. He deserves it too. Nice season.

Am I crazy to think this team would beat the Merrill & Queta teams?

If they were hitting their 3's, I would say yes. The problem is we would not see any of the driving or points in the paint that we see now with Neemi on the court. He was the single most dominant defender I have seen play in the MWC. Akin and Dorius would struggle for rebounds and second chance points would be almost none with Bean and Queta.

This team does have better ball movement but I think their best shot would have to be with perimeter jump shooting.

Odom's teams are 10000000% better at breaking a press than Craig Smith's teams. That NCAA tourney game against Washington was embarrassing, no effective preparation.

Current team's ball movement is better, but I still don't think we have a player who would be considered good at creating their own shot one on one, at least not consistently. You know Sam Merrill wasnt going to pass it and he would still score or get fouled.

Well coached and prepared. I kept thinking "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts",

This!!! I have been in awe at how good we’ve been at breaking the press. It’s honestly a thing of beauty! We’ve hardly had any turnovers from presses this season.

And he finally drew up a bean style inbounds play that wasn’t the usual lob out to mid court.
Seriously though, this season has been fun.
