Elated to win the regular season conference title
There are two differing thoughts among the talking heads, one (from O&B honks) that last night didn't matter. The other supposedly comes from the Pope camp that the secret sauce to taking down Auburn is to force everything through Johni.
Texas A@M finally played some defense last night and really worked the boards.
They had much more to play for after dropping four straight and I think we are in really good shape heading into the dance especially with our guard play and defense.
In it to win it.
That game was rough. The energy just wasn’t there, and A&M definitely looked like the hungrier team. Broome’s movement did seem off—he looks a step slow. The lack of awareness for landmarks that the commentators mentioned might just be him compensating for the pain.
The rebounding effort was frustrating. A&M was crashing the glass for second/third/fourth chances while our guys were just watching. That’s the kind of stuff that gets you beat. Besides the effort from Pettiford & CBM, it felt like we were just going through the motions.
