Thanks to the FSSW network, the A&M vs. LSU game was available in its entirety last night.  This was the first opportunity I’ve had to watch my team play.  Unfortunately, the results was a disappointing 12 point loss.

My observations:

• The Aggie defense is going to be really good again this year.  There is promise in December, so I’m hopeful that all will be in place by March.

• The Aggie offense needs a lot of work at this point.  Of course, the two early fouls on our primary inside guy, Joseph Jones, served to disrupt the offense all night.  In my opinion, shot selection was poor and the Aggies couldn’t finish when they got in close.

• For LSU, Glen “Big Baby” Davis was an Alpha Male out there.  Wow!  This is a guy who lumbered up and down the court last March weighing in at over 3 bills.  This year, he’s a svelte 280 or so.  Its amazing how much quicker he was.  He dominated all night and almost by himself won LSU the game.

And so my hopes for a 1-1 road trip now rest on a victory at #1 UCLA on Saturday.  Suffice it to say that I won’t be relying on this game to make my weekend.  Let’s just keep it close, boys!
