Texas A&M

[StatGeek]

Is 1-7 vs the RPI top 150. There only win was a 1pt victory over RPI #148 St. John's. A&M's RPI is in the 175-180 range.

They have lost two home games this year: Rice & Iowa State.

OU's RPI is in the 65-70 range so a win over the Sooners would be their best win of the season.

OU is 9-0 against teams ranked worse than 150th in the RPI. But none of the wins were on the road.

Any thoughts?

I think we can win this one. But I don't know if we will.

Pretty much. I feel less optimistic about this game than I did going into Stillwater.

We've changes a couple of things since then, but I agree.

Not me. We had chances to win there the last 2 years. I think we led both games until deep into the 2nd half. I think we can win, no question, and would be surprised if we don't.

Game is in College Station...it's a toss-up for us.

Been hard to win in CS lately. ATM has the athletes to put it on us if they get it going. Of course if we pulled a 50 plus percent shooting effort out of our rears combined with KSU like defense anything can happen. But shooting well against them is hard, and that's one thing they do well. ATM by 8 or more. If OU wins I will eat crow and also be very impressed...

A&M has been really bad so far. I'm afraid that they may get back on track and start winning games, starting with this one.

OU is going to win. OU needs this game and they are going to win.

Denver: Are you going to the game?

Yep. I worry about that, too.

OU seems to have a way of bringing out the best in a team, especially when it's on their home court. Players who can't hit the broad side of a barn from deep, suddenly catch fire and shoot the lights out; while still others break out of their slump and look like All-American candidates.

I'd like to have a dollar for every time I've seen that happen over the years when OU comes to town. :facepalm

We were really bad Tuesday night so I hope we get back on track and play better against A&M!!!

I see A&M as a huge game. May be one of only a couple away games we can win. As I see it, we have lost to Kansas, and will lose to Baylor and Mizz at home. We didn't beat OSU on the road, and probably won't beat anyone else except maybe Tech and A&M on the road. If we do lose all of our road games and get beat by Baylor and Mizz at home, we won't be 500 in the conference and won't have a good enough records for post season play in all likelihood.

Our 3 biggest away games were OSU, Tech and A&M, because we had our best chance to win those. We are already down one, and really need to win the other 2.

I predicted we would win half of our conference games, plus or minus one game. It is hard to see us winning this many at this point unless we steal a couple. Still like everything I am seeing with the program right now.

Denver: Are you going to the game?

No. I am too lazy to drive that far when it is on TV.

I think OU can win in Ames, Manhatten and Austin. I am not saying OU will win those games, I just think they are winnable. I see OU having little to no chance in Waco and Lawrence.
