In order for the Aggies to beat the minors, I see 4 keys, They have to keep the turnovers under 15, shoot a good percentage on the free throws and dominate the boards but I feel the most important key is stopping the dribble penetration and pick and roll. If they are effective in these areas, they win. By the way, isn't college BB a funny game? Louisiana Lafayette comes to Pan Am and lose by 20 + and then they go to #15 Michigan State and lose by 3 with a chance to win the game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-86716613263568101422012-11-26T21:42:14.833-07:002012-11-26T21:42:14.833-07:00The Aggies also got into trouble slowing the game ...The Aggies also got into trouble slowing the game down against the Ragin Cajuns with that 37 point lead. I understand taking some time off the clock. However, when you slow the game, passing the ball around the perimeter, you not only take yourself out of your offense, you take your defensive edge away as well. <br /><br />There's no harm in being deliberate when you have a big lead. Just don't stand around and expect to score points in the last four seconds of the shot clock. Late in the Cajun game, the Aggies either turned it over late in the shot clock and didn't get a shot off, or hurried in the last seconds, missed the shot, and then had the Cajuns flying down court with the rebound to make an easy layup or a wide open 3.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
