We have a very balanced team and if the seniors take control early were off to the next round.<br /><br />P.s Groves - tremendous job covering the team all year. Lord knows the El Paso Slimes Times would be lost as would the Aggie faithful without ya!<br /><br />Antonio BasketballAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-5010469127066518932013-03-19T18:50:04.400-06:002013-03-19T18:50:04.400-06:00Sim has made huge improvements on offense this yea...Sim has made huge improvements on offense this year but for the Aggies to win, it's not his offense but his defense that is crucial. I agree with Jason. This is a very well balanced team and everybody shares in the scoring. We are winning on defense and that is where Sim is key.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-34406871985049653982013-03-19T17:41:55.147-06:002013-03-19T17:41:55.147-06:00Last year Indiana had WAY too many easy layups, an...Last year Indiana had WAY too many easy layups, and before long we were down double digits. There is no way that is happening again! This group of Aggies will not tolerate easy buckets, and their defense is tireless to the point that we should see alot of frustration mounting from St. Louis! We just need to box out and make sure our motor is always running, and that we are relentless, aggressive, and confident! I really like this group of players, and Coach Menzies will have them ready. *Gil*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-72297867148144714422013-03-19T16:27:31.023-06:002013-03-19T16:27:31.023-06:00I hope they have a better game plan than "let...I hope they have a better game plan than "let's get to the line."<br /><br />I also like how this team is not talking smack like previous years.

Any at large team was VOTED in by a bunch of guys sitting around a table drinking coffee and diet cokes.<br /><br />And guess what, there are a 100 other schools that would like to be in exactly NMSU's position. It sure is bad to be one of those schools. (Listen to the weeping coming from El Paso if you don't believe it.)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-32503921625461271012013-03-19T15:30:32.882-06:002013-03-19T15:30:32.882-06:00Anon 225.

So if St. Louis wants to shut down Sim or let Sim have his points, I think this team is more balanced. I will expand on it though.

Guess that...Joe your comments were blah blah blah. Guess that's why 20 other conferences sent only 1 team to the tournament. You're probably a big supporter of the BCS too. The NCAA tournament is about seeing underdogs beat favorites. There's that old saying about "any given Sunday." Anyone can win. Hence MARCH MADNESS!!!! This tournament, thankfully, isn't about seeing ONLY Big East or Big Ten schools play. I may have plenty of issues regarding MM, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to support my Aggies. I hope for the best and I'll be watching the game on TV.

We carry a height advantage, and we have great athletes. <br /><br />We will see. <br /><br />I am lucky to be able to go and see the game in person. <br /><br />Alan<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-91328611457221275382013-03-19T08:55:14.233-06:002013-03-19T08:55:14.233-06:00blah blah blah here we go again face it aggies are...blah blah blah here we go again face it aggies are in cause wac is so weak why do you think they only take the winner of the tournament duh!joenoreply@blogger.com
