You just lost credibility…wssu would not beat us. Don’t forget they look ok playing against D2 talent not Div1! Just like in football we looked great playing against MEAC teams then lost to BSC teams. Don't know if they could or couldn't because we don't play them . We would beat Duke and Kansas

I won't go as far as to say that WSSU or ANY CIAA team would beat A&T (Well, maybe Virginia Union could get us). Look at the box scores of the games in the tournament if you didn't watch any of the games. NO TEAM could shoot, and very few had a grasp on the fundamentals of basketball, like boxing out, help side defense, cutting off the baseline, eliminating excess passes, etc. You know, the very same stuff we seem not to be able to do at A&T. The CIAA players were VERY thin like they've NEVER seen a weight room, so our players would outmuscle those teams any day!
It is FRUSTRATING, though, to watch us. Certain players are very selfish, ego-maniacal, entitled, and definitely out for themselves. Some of you have even identified the body language of some of the players when Fat Joe and Dillinger "do their thing" to NO reprisal, but when others not named Fat Joe and Dillinger take a questionable shot and get snatched out of the game immediately, one cannot help but wonder WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON? When I saw Fillmore jack up a three from Kernersville, I said to my lady, "I bet he is saying shucks, if Fat Joe and Dillinger can shoot 55 times a game and make 8 of them, I can take a bad one now and then!"
I hope we hire a capable coach who will review the film, do a deion and tell some of them to hit the portal because he's bringing luggage and it's Louis, and go to work IMMEDIATELY on bringing in some PLAYERS who will help us to compete in the CAA.

Certain players are very selfish, ego-maniacal, entitled, and definitely out for themselves. The season summary. And last season, too. Shumpert did a decent job in general but couldn't control this. Neither did Jones. On to DC. i hope DMV Aggies show up.

I thought Season played out about right with Coach change and lost of some Bigs. The Biggest issue no true ID on play calling, Poor Poor Rebouding and players playing for self team needs the right type of Coach and keeping Powell and our Young Back Court intake. I watch WSSU in CIAA Championship yesterday they would beat us by 10 or more Team is well Coach. You just lost credibility…wssu would not beat us. Don’t forget they look ok playing against D2 talent not Div1! Just like in football we looked great playing against MEAC teams then lost to BSC teams. He did, in my book. There's different levels to this Smokey (aggieforlife).

I hope Horton has another year of eligibility and returns for a graduate year. I think he could be a holdover who the new coach can work with. I tried telling y'all that Bettis needed to start while Machine Gun Kelly and Fat Joe enjoyed the game from a bird's eye view. I'll ask again...What is the collective energy behind this lineup for the first tournament game against Stony Brook, at least: G-Bettis, with Duke spelling him at the 1, then G-Elliott, with Machine Gun Kelly spelling him at the 2, then G-Horton, with Fat Joe spelling him at the 3, then Swing-McDuffie, with Powell spelling him and easing back into the traditional 4, then PF-Powell, with Johnson and Filmore providing some depth and spelling Powell by moving into the traditional 5 role. Johnson doesn't give us anything offensively, but he has averaged 10 boards over the last 3 games, and Filmore had a breakout offensive night vs UD, so the capability may be there for some bench scoring and some tough inside looks if he and Johnson can simply FINISH 8 inches from the basket! This gives us a different look vs Stony Brook, shows that we aren't predictable, and will make the scouting report tough for the 2nd round and beyond if the capable and disciplined Aggie team shows up.

PG - Bettis, if Woods can't go. SG - Horton SF - Watson PF - Powell C - Johnson If they don't perform well, then bring in those others on a case-by-case basis or to spell as needed.

I like the following starting lineup for the CAA Tournament only because it is too late to make any drastic changes this late in the season and knowing a little about how our coach thinks.
PG - Woods, Bettis if Woods is hurt. SG - Horton SF - Watson PF - Powell C - Johnson
I would have a quick leash on all players and definitely play more players off the bench in these tournament games. Notice I said games. Let them get the development and experience so the returning players don't forget that feeling and come back energized and motivated under a new coach.
