Wade Taylor is fun to watch. Cam Steele has to make 3's.

Turnovers are killing us right now. That and missing open shots.

When we play a much taller team we have to win the turnover margin to stay in the game. We are getting beaten in rebounds, free throws and turnovers, thus we are down 53-38 with less than 12 minutes left.

Missing too many shots. The Aggies athleticism will definitely win the day, but I would love to see the 'Cats to keep it to single-digits.
I have counted French say "no doubt about it" around 18 times so far. Over under ideas?

In both halves A&M built big leads quickly but ACU has been able to keep the game from being a rout.

Refs swallowing their whistles every time we drive the ball.

How can a team go to the line 35 times for A&M vs 8 for ACU.

Surprised that the Aggies kept their 1st teamers in for the entire game. Wish we could have closed it to single digits, but still a solid game for ACU.

I think we have learned over the past two games that we are still a defensive force, especially regarding turnovers. We need to reduce the fouls, but our number one issue is who is going to score points? Our offense is unable to get any kind of rhythm.

Because we fouled alot? They were the dominant team and I think surprised us with their aggressive defense. We fought and we'll learn. It was good to see Simmons hit 3's. When the game slows down for Dibba he's going to be a player. Glad to see Muoneke and Seat see the floor. I saw progress in several areas but the TO's really hurt us. A&M sped us up more than I've seen us play in several years. Slowing down, getting Joe back (he'll help on both ends of the floor) and more flow to our offense will turn us into a very good team. Should be fine tuning next week before the tourney in Vegas.

Very rare but we got out hustled. Texas A&M turned us over two times more than we turned them over. That is not our style. This Aggie team is a notch better than in the recent past.
But one thing I did not understand. Hunter Jack Madden was defending their guard as he killed time. Hunter Jack was right on top of the guy and even swiped the dribble away OB once -- so why did the referees not call the time a tie up??? Has that rule changed? I don't think so because I see refs counting seconds in similar situations. Something was different or the rules have changed. It was so apparent the Aggie was not advancing the ball, just dribbling away with our guy right on top of him.
