Some perspective

Look at this team’s resume — a 53 pt win over a really good Samford team. Non-con wins over Arizona, Tennessee, Gonzaga, and Alabama. Basically ran through the Big 10 like a buzz saw.

Definitely a Final Four team. Very easily could see them winning the Natty.

DO NOT let this ruin what we did on Friday.

100%. Hopefully our team settles down and just enjoys the game the second half. If they do they are going to compete much better.

Making it to the second round for just the second time in 50 years in sprinkles first year is a great accomplishment. Now sprinkle can build the program to the next level. He'll of a baseline for our first year coach.

Agreed, I remember in 2001 how our next game (against Washington of all teams!!!) ruined the win for me some.

Yeah this is pretty good perspective. Last April I thought our team would win about 10 games, so to even be in the second round of the tournament surpassed my wildest expectations.

Right, this was an incredible season regardless of this game.

Oh and they get two home games to start the tournament. Feels un fair

That’s what you get when you win 12 quad 1 games.

Yeah, but Sprinkle is a good coach. He could switch things up and we could regroup, and get back in it. I will be proud no matter what. But would fun to see us at least get back in the game

adamholt3955 · Post by **adamholt3955** » March 24th, 2024, 2:06 pm

Well never mind

Every Aggie basketball season is going to end in a loss. Winning a first round game was a dream come true for me and this doesn’t take away from that accomplishment at all. Seeing us share the stage with a #1 seed was pretty surreal.

They could've just as easily beat Kansas by 30.

Figured we were going to lose. The quick start gave me some hope. Tough to have the game over before halftime rather than being competitive into 2H. Hope next season can be as enjoyable regardless of coach/players.

I told myself whatever happened today would not take away the joy from Friday. I am just proud of this team. For the first 12 minutes the Aggies showed they could play with them but could not sustain it. Super fun season.

Me to. Not even mad at all. Had low expectations with this game and I loved how team came out and played toe to toe. I knew once our bigs got in foul trouble we were cooked.

It’s very rare to ever see a 7’4” man that looks like Frankenstein on the court. Edey protects the rim and paint and alters so much of what we and teams want to do.

Thank you coaching staff and team for delivering a magical season. Hope we can find lightening in a bottle for the 3rd time in 3 years.

There’s no question they would have beaten Kansas by 30 or more this season.
