Is the ooc schedule even out yet? If not, I'd wait before prognosticating. There's also the issue of consistently disappearing players to consider. It never is out this early. It will likely be similar, though. That typed... I know what I know, similar to men's hoops heading into 2017-18. I'm still taking the over.

I have been saying that all along about our conference being weak with overpaid coaches. Robinson has been a fixture at A&T for at least 14 years and has become complacent knowing as long as he shows up in the conference, he will keep his job. The next hire should be someone without any ties to Aggieland.
He seems to have a recluse personality in public and maybe an intimidating personality to his players and coaching staff behind close doors.
He will win next year only if his players want to win for him because he does not have the ability to coach talent and make his players better in games.

The OOC schedule is not out yet.....but let's keep it real here. We went 16-0 (1 loss in the MEAC tourney)......but lost 12 games and won 20 total. You all can do the math.....yet you're confidence we're gonna finish over .500 OOC next year? hmmmmm
We went 23-9 the year before that.....18 of those wins were in conference. Only 1 of our 9 losses was in conference......again - do the math......yet you're confident we're gonna finish over .500 OOC next year? hmmmm.
I'm not calling for Robinson's dismissal.....but I am calling for him to improve. He has clearly made us MEAC good. I'm not taking that away from him - no one should or can't. However, he has gotta start looking beyond just the MEAC....or at least should be urged to do so. The potential is there, but he has to seize it.

[|qoute] We have never seen any development at the post with all the bigs we transferred in none have been developed. This conversation is insane, Deja Vu! I agree Stats don’t Lie, Isanity is defined as doing the same thing the same way and expecting a different result! This notion of players coming in and elevating our situation by themselves. They are coming from another team that they didn’t elevate, Okay I get it we will elevate above the MEAC! Men’s basketball regressed with the departure of the Coach from NY!

I think the two transfers have some offensive skills so that should improve our ability to score. We certainly needed someone that can consistently average double digit points per game.
We do need some development particularly with our post players none of them leave their feet when posting up or rebounding. Alot reaching over the top because they maybe tallest player on the floor when playing in conference. This is the biggest reason why our post miss so many easy put backs. In addition there is no excuse for the amount of layups we miss....none. The amount of unchallenged layups we missed would not even be acceptable at the highschool level.

I have said that the game STATS will tell you a lot about the team. That's the evaluation or measurement stick for our team and coaches. Every year, folks talk about how great the new recruits coming in are, and how great the transfers sitting out are suppose to be. This includes the men's team too. I digress. I decided some years ago to ignore the noise and use my own ability to judge players and coaches. Player development is a big issue for us. Retention is a major issue too. Why is that?? Women transfer out and become all everything in their new conference, and that new conference is only 1/10 of a step behind us. We had a veteran team this year, that was battle tested with 16-0 wins in conference play. We ended the season with ten women players, and three of them were freshmen. Why?? Teaching and player development needs to be our GOAL!! Player Retention needs to be another GOAL!! If we recruit players, we need to make them the best players ever. We have to be able to compete and win beyond our conference against D1 competition and not be embarrassed by lesser conferences.

I concur with both friscotx and baseball. Our players year over year has not shown improvement. The time for improvement is now thru Nov. to be ready for the start of the season. Height has been our advantage over most teams but we have been unable to take advantage of it because of the problems outline above. The team needs to rededicate itself to get better by getting in the gym working on the fundamentals and bringing in someone to work specifically with the Bigs. Oh yea, the play by play guy for Madison said that Peeples had left the team for personal reasons.

all i know is what this program looked like before bibbs and coach rob arrived. ya'll wanna complain? we need to do better ooc? yeah, i agree we need to do better out of conference. but is that something to complain about? i can understand wanting more, but to complain about a program that wins 20 games or more almost every season?
all i can say is, if ya wanna complain now, just take a look at this program prior to bibbs and coach rob. then, take a look at how all d1 hbcu's are performing year after year. other than hampton in recent years, you ain't gone find another d1 hbcu women's program that fairs better than our lady aggies on the regular.
let me put it this way, we could do a whole lot worse than what coach rob is doing. i think our overall talent level is fine. we've been at or near the top of the meac for the last 5 or 6 years if my memory serves me correctly. me personally? i don't think it would be "easy" to find a better coach for a&t than coach rob. i think he does a great job even though his teams always seem to struggle during early season ooc games. but we still could do a lot worse...

When a player decides to leave a program for whatever reason (injuries or no playing time etc)no one ever knows what kind of mental state of mind they will be in after they come to your program. Some players don't recover to become the players they once were. We are disappointment with most of them when they don't play up to the hype not realizing that A&T wasn't their first choice.
His constant tweaking the rotations and lineups will throw anyone out of rhythm if players are thinking the sub bus is always coming to get them.

I hope you end up being right.....with me being wrong. That would suggest PROGRESS with our women's basketball program. The OOC record was respectable in BIBBS and Robs years with her recruits, 11-12 we were (6-9), 12-13(9-6), 13-14(11-4), 14-15(11-4) all of Coach Bibbs recruits were gone after 14-15. Seasons beginning 15-16 all where Robbs recruits OOC record (7-8), 16-17(6-10), 17-18(8-8), 18-19(4-12, some of you guys drink too much JIM JONES Juice. True post player development began with us Coach Harris and Nakia Gorham in 11-12 she went from a purely passing 4 to a double double threat every game. at one point she was the leading low post scorers in the conference trading back and forth with the center from Howard.

T-S-U, T-S-U, We See You Ryan McGinty March 26, 2019 Basketball, Features Tweet 0 Share0 Email History is unfolding right before our eyes as Texas Southern advanced to the quarterfinals of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) on Monday night. Monday’s win marked the first time since 2010 an HBCU has won multiple games in postseason play.
While some may discount the quality of the tournament due to the fact that it’s third in the postseason pecking order, the CIT is a solid mid-major tournament which provides additional court time for teams in addition to winnable games. Texas Southern has taken advantage of the additional action as the Tigers are riding a two-game win streak with wins over New Orleans (Southland) and University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (WAC). Up next for TSU is a contest at Louisiana at Monroe on Thursday at 7 p.m. Once again, this is a winnable contest as ULM barely beat Grambling State earlier this season.
Now that the basics are out the way, let’s focus on what’s unfolding at 3100 Cleburne.
The last time an HBCU had a postseason run this long occurred in Greensboro, N.C. in 2010 when the North Carolina A&T State women knocked off Wake Forest and UNC Charlotte in NIT action under Pat Bibbs. While there have been several impressive wins in NCAA Tournament action over the years, no HBCU has won multiple postseason contests since joining the NCAA Division I ranks. You can chalk that stat up to resident sports professor Dr. Kenyatta Cavil.
In Texas Southern’s case, this is an impressive feat. The Tigers arguably are the SWAC’s most successful men’s basketball program with eight NCAA Tournament appearances and 16 SWAC regular season championships since 1954-55. TSU has an NCAA Tournament win (2018) under its belt and won four games en route to being crowned the 1977 NAIA Champions.
What makes this team special is that the Tigers only have eight players available for the CIT and have come close to suiting up legendary radio announcer Lary “Chattabox” Hale and athletic director Kevin Granger at times due to depth issues. This unit overcame a 10-point second half deficit at UTRGV Monday night and will have to continue to walk a fine line with ULM being well-rested.
While TSU’s run is history-making, a bigger opportunity may be on the horizon as fellow HBCU and Big South member Hampton University has an opportunity to earn its second win. The Pirates will face Charleston Southern Tuesday night. If both TSU and Hampton win, history could happen with a match-up on the hardwood in the semifinals.
In the words of Chattabox, keep on sipping the victory champagne and “GOOOOOOO TIGERS!”
