We'll get final confirmation in an hour or so, but according to the SBNation blog, Blogging The Bracket, A&M projects as a #6 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

I'm just hoping that we are placed somewhere geographically close, so fans are able to travel to the game.

Aggie Women Win 2010 Big 12 Basketball Tournament Championship

The #11 Texas A&M women's basketball team defeated the #12 Oklahoma Sooners women's basketball team, 74-67, on Sunday afternoon. Tara White scored 16, Danielle Adams had 19, and Adaora Elonu added 10 as the Aggies won the rubber match between the two programs; the teams had split the regular season series, with each team winning at home.

This victory may be enough to garner A&M a #2 seed when the NCAA Tournament brackets are announced tomorrow. Of bigger concern right now is the play of A&M's defense the last two games; usually the Aggies' strong suit, the defense has given up over 50% shooting to both Nebraska and Oklahoma in consecutive games. The Aggies have won both games with some an offensive explosion themselves, but I hope we aren't forgetting the fundamental strength that brought us to where we are under Gary Blair, and that is relentless defensive pressure. We'll worry about the hows and whys we won at a later time, though. Right now, the Aggie women are the 2010 Big 12 Women's Basketball Tournament Champions, and for that they deserve congratulations and a big Whoop!!!

Aggie Women Defeat Unbeaten Nebraska, 80-70

The Texas A&M women's basketball team defeated previously unbeaten Nebraska, 80-70, in a game that quickly became no-contest for the distaff Aggies. A&M led by as many as 18 points in the second half, as Nebraska star Kelsey Griffin was stuck on the bench for much of the game, saddled with foul trouble. Nebraska was unable to stop the Aggie offense, with the team shooting 51% in the first half, 54% in the second half, and 53% from the floor for the game. The Aggie defense held Nebraska to just 37% shooting from the floor for the game. The Aggies had three players in double-figures, led by Danielle Adams' 22 points. The Aggies dominated Nebraska on the boards, snagging 46 rebounds to Nebraska's 32. Nebraska was just simply unable to stop A&M's offense, while the Aggies were able to clamp down on defense, and that was the story of the game.

To put this win in persepctive, it is a big win for the team, a win that would be on par of the men beating Kansas this year. Congratulations are in order for the women's team, but they now need to get ready for the Big 12 Tournament Championship, a game in which they will face the winner of the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game. It is always nice to beat a top 5 team, though (Nebraska was ranked #3 in the nation), so congratulations, ladies.

Aggies Lose To Kansas, 79-66

An eight minute scoring drought in the second half doomed the Aggies, while a 21-2 run helped Kansas come from behind and overtake the A&M. Donald Sloan, who had 24 points in the game, scored at the 8:52 mark of the second half, and he and the rest of the team didn't have a bucket again until there was under 50 seconds left in the game. Khris Middleton (14) and B.J. Holmes (12) were the only other Aggies to score in double-figures. Kansas did a good job inside, holding Bryan Davis to 0 points for the game.

The Aggies shot 50% from the floor in the first half as the took a 38-35 lead into the locker room at halftime, but were able to hit only 36% of their shots in the second half, including a miserable 15% from beyond the arc.  Credit has to be given to Kansas for playing well and taking advatange of our cold spell; they hit 55% fo their shots in the second half, and 56% of their shots from the field for the whole game. That is how you win games.

The Aggies are now left to wait until Sunday, where they will see where they will be seeded and where they will be headed for their first round game in the NCAA Tournament.

Behind 23 points from Donald Sloan and 17 points from Khris Middleton, the Aggies held off Nebraska, 70-64. Nebraska was able to stay in the game by outrebounding the Aggies, something that can't happen if the Ags are to be successful in their next game, a semifinal matchup with the #1 team in the nation, the Kansas Jayhawks. Three Aggies scored in double-figures, with the Midget Assassin™ B.J. Holmes adding 11 points on 3-7 shooting from beyond the arc.

Nebraska shot 55% from the floor in the first half and 50% for the game, a percentage that has to drop dramatically if the Aggies are to beat Kansas. The Aggies shot 46% from the floor for the game, but were helped by hitting 9 three-pointers. 

Moving forward, we really need David Loubeau to step up on offense if we're going to have a chance to beat Kansas. We'll need more from him than just 6 points and 3 rebounds in 28 minutes of playing time. I also think Ray Turner needs to see the floor more than 9 minutes, especially since we'll be facing the Morris twins and Cole Aldrich. We'll need Turner's presence in the middle to combat their depth in the post.

Our game against Kansas starts at 6 PM and will be shown KTXA in Dallas and KTBU in Houston. Until then, we can enjoy our win over Nebraska.

Quick Recruiting Note

Ags picked up their second commit of the season when Denton Guyer CB Josh Stewart 5'10 165 gave his verbal pledge to A&M today. The Ags are going to be very selective in offering recruits this year with a limited number of ships. Stewart gives the Ags an early start at addressing a big position of need. The Ags need to add LBs and DBs in this class and Stewart is a good place to begin.

High School Basketball Team Forfeits Game Because Of Fast
Highlight video of LaDarius Phillips, a 2-star RB recruit signed by Auburn. The kid may eventually move to DE or DT, but I hope they give him a legitimate shot at RB. 

I enjoyed watching the various ways his high school team used him to run the ball (notice the power single wing package at at the 4:14 mark, and love the wishbone) almost as much as I enjoyed watching him.
