Call me crazy but I'm thinking of opening up a shop selling Justin Bean Voodoo dolls in Lubbock.  I might just buy one myself.  My gut tells me that he and Queta will drive TT batty.  If either Miller or Bairstow can get hot for a few minutes, this game could get away from TT.

Tech is not a good rebounding team. Bean is going to have a field day. Still, athletic teams have always been the Aggies Achilles heel. Other than Queta the others will struggle to score.

Bad matchup. The very best defender now in the NBA was on that team and completely shut Sam Merrill down. 

It's not Rudy Gobert ?

I wish this was the year the aggies were going to win, but TT will be a really tough matchup for us.  They play with great intensity and have really athletic guards, 2 of the things we struggle against.  If they can somehow get Queta going he might neutralize some of it.  I do think the aggies defensively will be solid enough to win, but we struggle offensively.  The 2 keys for an aggie victory from my perspective are, <12 turnovers and shoot at least 38% from 3.  We struggle when we turn the ball over and our 3 point shooting overall has been poor this year.  If we do those things we would have a decent shot in my opinion for the victory.

Queta will get his but won't go off.  The utah guards are not good enough.  10 to 15 point loss.  I am loading up

Hoping Utah State wins, and hoping they have enough good bodies to last the full game.

TT’s players fly to the ball.. think of it as five Bean’s on the floor. I think it’ll be a double-digit loss for USU, 15-20 pt range.

Nice analysis. Good to see an Aggie fan that thinks with his head instead of his heart.

Your hatred for all things Aggie must be seen through to the end!

I don't believe I am wrong.  And I would never gamble with feelings.  I am betting your perimeter is not up to the task and that queta doesn't get 35.  Pretty straight forward.  Are you betting they win or cover?
