It hasn't happened yet. Two years ago (their WAC championship year) the Aggies ranked last in the WAC in scoring defense and sixth in field goal percentage defense. Last year they were seventh in scoring defense and eighth in field goal percentage defense. <br /><br />I would also add rebounding in there as a key.<br /><br />I agree with you though. Wendell should have a good year and again, the pieces are in place, but they haven't done it over time.Jason Groveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865320061941648252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-92228687587332805722011-09-16T15:47:56.250-06:002011-09-16T15:47:56.250-06:00Forget the averages Groves.

Wendell McKines<br /><br />Wen is a leader which the Aggies have lacked throughout the MM era. It is his team and his year.<br /><br />They will be better than last year's team. Hopefully A LOT better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-17407097664967594202011-09-16T12:36:57.436-06:002011-09-16T12:36:57.436-06:00This lineup can/should be changed no politics no f...This lineup can/should be changed no politics no favorites just ballersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-66219473034662558182011-09-16T10:30:06.805-06:002011-09-16T10:30:06.805-06:00Starting five

Our best scoring plays are going to be the kick out or dump off. CK can get to the hole and draw the D in then the kick out will be open. Wen will draw a lot of double teams under the basket and is athletic enough to dump it off to the open guy. We don’t have many players that can create their own shots so this is the only way I see the offence operating.Aggievatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02329724439292470535noreply@blogger.com
