So it appears that A&M is pretty good

They are 14-1 and a 2 point loss to BC away from being undefeated. They've beaten Temple, Washington and just blasted OSU. Mark Turgeon's name came up back during our coaching search and I remember saying I wanted no part of him. Well turns out he's a pretty darned good coach.

Agreed.

I thought Turgeon was a dork and didn't want him either, still think Dana Altman is a dork too

...and when they get to the tournament they win games. Turgeon has never lost an opening round match up, I believe. Continually one of the most underappreciated coaches in the nation, everyone doubts his Aggies every year but they always take care of business.

Turgeon is a very good coach. He has A&M playing way above their talent level.

Their starting backcourt is Dash Harris and BJ Holmes...that's all you need to know.

Dash and BJ? Sounds like porn stars.

They have a rare and good combination of having a lot of experience, but their youngest player that plays big minutes (Middleton) is their best player. He's kind of a poor mans Kevin Durant IMO.

This is the 3rd or 4th year in a row that many on this board have underestimated A&M. Yet they make the NCAA tourney nearly every year. A&M under Turgeon is a similar program to what OU was like under Kelvin for the most part, very consistent....only they lose in the 2nd round of the tournament every year instead of the 1st. (j/k, don't start a war)
