It's been a while....

I apologize for my lack of posts lately. It certainly was not for the lack of information to write about.

The team has been playing with a lot heart since the La Tech game. I was shocked like many that the Ags were able to win the road games at Idaho, Seattle U and San Jose St. I hate to say it, but I wasn't sure if they would be able to pull off three wins in a row on the road. Especially to 3 teams that caused us some trouble in Logan. I am very happy we got those wins, and on that road trip this "new" Aggie team was starting to figure everything out. That is a positive.

I will be the first to admit it, I was unimpressed by the way Jarred Shaw played first half of the season. But boy am I glad he has come together. He has really stepped up his game and has been key to the road wins and last nights win against NMSU. He is a key player to this Aggie team.

Speaking of key players, Spencer "freaking" Butterfield is a hard nosed gritty player that is just plain fun to watch. He is just insane when he flies in to get rebounds. Sometimes I wonder if he will make it out alive.

It still scares me a bit each time we start a game not knowing if we will end the game with 5 players on the court...I get worried a lot about fouls. And probably the whole coaching staff is worried about fouls. We haven't had to get too terribly worried yet, thank goodness. But we have a lot of games to play and 1 of them is in Provo...

The students were ready last night and were fun to watch. At times they showed a glimpse of the Spectrum I know and love.

There is truly nothin' like watching Aggie Basketball.

(Side note: If you were wondering, yes Coach Morrill was wearing a brown suit. And yes, that is different)

RECORD: 18-6 (9-5 WAC)

  1. I hear ya on the fouls - Gregg and I were just talking about poor Clifford - he just walks on the court and gets fouls called on him. Ridiculous! But I, too, am glad to see Butterfield and Shaw stepping up. They were animals last night. It was fun to watch.
