In the 4 successful cases, the btb was the right choice given the d. The pass could not have been completed normally. <br /><br />I'm glad they continued to be aggressive after extending the lead. Just wish the d had been equally aggressive.Jbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-6477192552567027452011-11-21T19:07:28.599-07:002011-11-21T19:07:28.599-07:00Noted how in pregame comment Jack honed in on UTEP...Noted how in pregame comment Jack honed in on UTEP rebuilding with freshmen. Floyd is smart and using the same approach as Menzies - one proven over time. Now I don't want too much success while Laroche and Mckines are seniors. We might risk the Sacramento Kings approaching Coach Menzies(jk). Did Sacramento get to keep their team in time for a lockout; I think so? I know he's a humble guy and always says call me Marvin, but he's earned my huge respect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-83540034665496743892011-11-21T18:07:43.221-07:002011-11-21T18:07:43.221-07:00Aggies picked up 4 votes in the AP Top 25Aggies picked up 4 votes in the AP Top 25Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-39628961748949215432011-11-21T09:41:24.566-07:002011-11-21T09:41:24.566-07:00I think the last one or two behind the back passes...I think the last one or two behind the back passes failed. <br /><br />The Aggies played pretty good D and were in position to rebound.

It really gets on my nerves that the people of LC won't come support the Aggies. It's the best show in town by far. There has to be something done (other than beating UNM on the road and UTEP at home) to put 9,000 in the Pan Am each game. Or at least the rivalry games and the Utah State, Nevada games. Hoping to see more at the Arizona game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-60497787376426653452011-11-20T12:40:11.828-07:002011-11-20T12:40:11.828-07:00They really should hold back on the top 25 comment...They really should hold back on the top 25 comments. LaRoche started talking about that last year and we know what happened to that. They just need to play their game and not get ahead of themselves. Also, please find a better halftime show.

Let the kids play, that's one of their strengths. Every team can make a run and we got that lead up around 20 again when it was all said and done. I don't understand why Menzies continued to press man to man when the Miners were spreading the court and blowing by our defenders and getting lay ups and dunks. I like the pressure, but theres a time where you have to back off a bit and just play solid team defense.

I would think, though, that with bigger, better athletes in the front court, the Aggies would have gone inside sooner and forced the Miners to contend with the Aggie strength. Not doing so allowed the Miners to compete when they shouldn't have been able to.<br /><br />It's too early to say whether or not the Aggies will be that "special" team. Throwing behind-the-back passes and losing 10 points off a 20 point lead late in the game is a good way to ensure the mediocrity we are all used to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-62937782807965513102011-11-20T00:56:44.985-07:002011-11-20T00:56:44.985-07:00If the Aggies have a blatant weekness, it is at ce...If the Aggies have a blatant weekness, it is at center!
