PV? C'mon dude. A&M could suspend half the scholarship players and still probably beat Prairie View, they are HORRIBLE.

They could play the game at Prairie View, have Prairie View students officiate it, lower the rims to 9 feet and let Prairie View practice on those rims for a week, move the three point line in three feet and not allow A&M to shoot threes and they'd still probably lose.
Prairie View isn't even good in the SWAC, and their RPI was even lower than Southern's which is saying something (and who is also on the schedule.)
A&M has some decent games, but playing five teams that are 270+ in the RPI isn't going to do their SOS any favors.
Southern, Prairie View, Army, Houston Baptist, and A&M Corpus Christi are all absolutely horrible teams.

Just did some number crunching, A&M's only opponent that finished in the top 200 of the RPI last year is Louisiana Tech who finished just outside the top 150. The average RPI of their home opponents is 260. A&M's had some bad home schedules before, but this probably takes the cake.

It's dangerous for two reasons: 1) It's early in the season against an A&M team, if you can call them that at that point, which will basically be starting an entirely new lineup. 2) It's on a Thursday at 7:00 p.m. I'm guessing their may be more PV parents of players than A&M fans in the seats.
Even for previous NCAA tourney teams, those dead pre-Christmas games could get uncomfortably close.

Odd take

Aggies got pretty spoiled by the transition from BCG to Turgeon. It went A LOT smoother than most coaching transitions go. The thing with the BCG/Turgeon change was that both had very similar coaching philosophies. BK and Turgeon are very different in their approach to the game, especially on offense.
We'll see how year 2 goes. I think we'll be much improved but at this point, who knows.

Losing to t.u. just provided a convenient excuse. Sherman and Byrne were begging to be fired by Loftin with how they acted with the SEC deal. Can you imagine either, especially Sherman as our HC moving forward into the SEC.

I'm not saying A&M is going to be good, just pointing out how terrible PV and the rest of the home schedule is.

If they end up close to the bubble, they desperately need to get on the floor with Kansas. Otherwise their non-con is going to be meaningless.

I think the realistic expectations for this season are an NIT bid, and this schedule does a good job of building to that. You don't have to win your way to the NIT, but you can definitely lose your way out of it. So we stock up on a bunch of winnable games, kind of a quantity over quality approach, and get some positive energy going into next year

National hoops guy Jon Rothstein tweeted earlier today that he's heard Keith Davis is coming on strong and could be an X-factor for the Ags this season.
Don't know if this is true but any help from Keith would be very welcome.

Yeah, I've heard some good things about Keith, but obviously anything he does offensively is really a bonus.
