Texas A&M Pre-game Thread


Recommended Posts

ESPN preview
"There's a number in front of our name now," Turgeon said. "People will get pretty excited to play us now. So Akron was an NCAA tournament team that a lot of my friends told me not to schedule. Well I did. So we'll have to be really ready to play Friday night."
Akron beat Texas A&M 75-67 in the only previous meeting Jan. 1, 1949.
It's go time!

(-12) to a top 25 team on the road 1,000 miles away is fairly respectable from Vegas. Thoughts?
It's about what I expected. somewhere from 11 to 14. Figure 3 or 4 just for A&M being at home with a 600 game winning streak or whatever .. so Vegas sees it as a 8 or 9 point game on neutral ground.This probably has less to do with the line setters as it does with the action the past few weeks. Niagara was a 1 or 2 point favorite Sunday and left with a double digit loss. Things like that get noticed by the guys buying the slips.I think basketball folks respect the Zips because they've got the makings of a very solid club. As we're watching, they're putting it together. 2nd half Sunday a good example. It's early December and they're not doing it for 40 yet .. but it's coming. Zeke will be up and down for a little while more, but soon it will be more up than down .. and then it's game on. B) B) B) B) Go Zips!!

Give me a good, solid 40 minutes of basketball and some worried faces on the Aggies sidelines and I'll be content regardless of the outcome. Give me an upset win and it will make holiday shopping and studying for finals this weekend a whole lot more enjoyable. Gotta show up for all 40 minutes. No disappearing acts in this one if we want to give ourselves any chance.

Weather may hurt their attendance. Apparently there's a blizzard down there.
Source?Must be a localized thing :thumb:http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/tex...tation-2383087/
The source is their own message board. Besides, if even .5 inches of snow falls down there at any time during the day, the whole region shuts down.
