This is true. Many good teams are tanking their conference tournament games. The conference tournaments are a waste of time.
Chris Beard to Texas
- Thread starter KChorn11
- Start date
Who is overracting? Is talking about our concerns considered overreacting all of a sudden? The fact is Beard hasn't impressed so far in year one, but he has more years to keep building his program. No one is mad at him, we're just giving our opinions.
I agree about the conference tournaments. It only helps bubble teams improve thier stock, the rest basically use it as exhibition games.
I'm just saying lets wait until the season is over to assess whether the season was a success or a failure. Beard has already matched Shaka's highest win total in his first season. I think all this team lacks a little bit of chemistry and that's probably in part to it being made up of mostly transfers. Still not a bad season at all to this point though.
Aggies are about to get their asses handed to them by Tennessee. I'm calling it.
Rick Barnes is a damn good coach. Always liked him. Another wonderful move by Steve Patterson to terminate him. What a douchebag Patterson was....he so badly wanted to be relevant and woke. Hiring Strong and Smart set our athletics program back for an entire decade.

Remember that time someone on here warned us about that guy Patterson?
You damn sure did, but, to be fair, was there ever a hire you liked? Lol
If we can pull out a 5 seed that would be ideal. Need to stay away from a 7-9 seed as that would give us a likely 2nd round match up with a 1 or 2 seed. If we can get out of the 1st round as a 5 seed, we're looking at going against another 4-6 seed in the 2nd round.
We got a 6 seed in the East bracket. Playing Virginia Tech who is an 11 seed. Va Tech beat Duke yesterday to win the ACC tournament. They’re one of the hottest teams in the tournament. This will not be an easy game but we should be considered the favorite.
If we can get past Va Tech it puts us in a likely 2nd round matchup with Purdue, the 3 seed.
Aggy and Sooner didn’t make the tournament. They’re both probably NIT bound.

Va Tech is 13-2 in their last 15 games. No way they’re an 11 seed. Very bad draw for us.
Yep, and Duke choking against Va Tech.
The Hokies were one of the worst teams in the country the first half of the season. They had to win the ACC tournament to get into the NCAA tournament. Crazy!
None of the teams in the ACC had a defense ranked in the top 20. Va Tech will be facing the top defense they’ve seen all year. If we get to the next round against Purdue it’ll be a top 5 defense against a top 5 offense.
we'll beat va tech, guys. if they hadn't won the acct they wouldn't have made the ncaa. and my first inclination is to retract my s16/e8 call when i see purdue. but crazy stuff happens in the tournament and it almost always happens to teams like purdue. they're good and matt painter is good, but seems like they always fall short of expectations. so we're a threat to them. beat va tech first. one at a time. we have it in us, as kansas and tennessee will attest, and probably tech and baylor too if you hooked them up to a lie detector.
If we play 40 minutes of sound defense, we're a threat to the Hokies and Purdue. I wouldn't have made this statement last season.
On the other hand, this time of the season, the game is played on the court and not on paper. Strange things happen. Anyone remember ACU?

But hey, they were equitable hires so theres that. That said I had high hopes for Smart and Strong showed promise with what he did at Louisville. It just didn't work out.
You guys have a good coach now too, a younger version. Rick Barnes will probably be out of coaching in a handful of years at his age. Maybe have spun wheels for a few years to get there but at least you are there now IMO.
Quality win over a quality team. Nice 1st round win.
1st tourney win in 8 years? I’m not gonna mention any names, but uh, yeah somebody can officially stfu now.
My condolences to nobody in particular who may or may not be disappointed that Chris Beard did in one season what Kirkland-brand Tony Robbins couldn’t do in six.
You are correct, my bad. I must have read espn wrong. 63-46 late in the 4th.
Wow. Chris Beard is now 5-0 in first round NCAA Tournament games. Did not know that.
Let me just bump this…one coach is still playing and it isn’t CCC - I think the season just proved me right young man…
