WAC Tournament

The Aggies went into the WAC Tournament with a firm grip on the first seed. The Aggies were confident and ready to win 3 games. They showed that for about 2 1/2 games.

Boise State
The Aggies were matched up with Boise State for the first round. Personally this was a scary position for the Aggies. They broncos were rolling and ready to do some damage. Well, the Aggies had a different plan. The game was pretty much in the books a few minutes into the second half. The Aggies won by 24.

Louisianan Tech
After cruising in the first game the Aggies were looking for a little more of a challenge so to speak in the second game. Well, La Tech didn't show up. The Aggies won by 30. That is all I am going to say.

New Mexico State
The Aggies vs the Aggies. Who would have thought that the New Mexico Aggies were going to beat Nevada on their home court? Not many I am guessing. Going into this game I was very nervous. The Aggies haven't had any real challenge and not any real excitement in the games previous. I guess in a way that is why they lost, or maybe they were just unlucky that night with there shots. I could go on and on about what ifs. But I think the Aggies played an OK game not a spectacular game like I know are able to play. But that is OK. They played hard and didn't give up. But I am very thankful for a certain Senior Point Guard named Jared Quayle. What a stud? He carried this team through out the whole game.

Aggie Post Season
Following a 7(?) point loss the Aggies were now in the wait and see game. The game to determine if they would again be Dancing in the NCAA Tourney. The good news, the Aggies got in. But barely says most people. I don't care if it was just barely or not, the Aggies are in. They got pared up with number 5 seed Texas A&M. Yep, another Aggies vs Aggies game. Joy! I am very excited for the game it is on Friday in the middle of the afternoon, so don't expect to see it on TV. I love Aggie Basketball! The Aggies get to play some were close to home, in Spokane Washington. This location is TONS better than Providence Rhode Island. Can you imagine playing there?

Tai's Broken Nose
After playing only seconds in the WAC Championship game Tai got hit in the nose and blood started gushing out his nose. He was taken out, and and to struggle to get the bleeding stopped. The athletic trainers got his nose plugged up, only Tai got hit again minutes later in the game. So this time they went to the locker room to take a closer look. After getting the bleeding to stop AGAIN, he came back and played the rest of the game. He scored 13 points and had 12 rebounds. He was named to the All-WAC Tourney team. While answering questions in a press conference following the game Tai was asked about his nose. And he answered that it was broken. Great another Aggie that will probably have to wear a mask! Have you ever seen 2 players in the same season were a protective mask? I haven't! We don't know for sure if Tai will have to end up wearing the mask, he was fitted for one. One thing is for sure though HE WILL PLAY ON FRIDAY. I am pretty confident in that, he is a determined young man who loves basketball.

I think that about covers it for this week!

GO AGGIES (that are of the color blue)! See ya in Washington!
