It isn’t an
overwhelming profile, but fourth place in the Big 12 is good enough for a
dance. The losses aren’t that bad and the Aggies have that one big win
against the Longhorns. TAMU, led by Acie Law, dishes out nearly 17 assists
per game. The Aggies game also counts on steals. A few times a game, Law
or Dominique Kirk will change momentum with a steal and a quick two the
other way. In March, when momentum and confidence becomes even more
important, those quick points will keep Texas A&M in the game. What won’t
keep them in games is shooting 67% from the charity stripe.
