Texas A&M 73, McNeese State 50

The media really wants DJ to be the story of the game, claiming that he "overshadowed" Turge in the pair's first victory as Aggies. However, if you listen to the coaches, the game ball goes to Bryan Davis and Derek Roland for their efforts on defense. Before BD (I think that is what the team calls Davis) and Roland came into the game, McNeese State had put 15 points up in five minutes. After he came in we held them to 11 points in the next 15 minutes. BD finished with 9 boards, 2 blocks, 2 steals, and 8 points. Don't get me wrong, DJ's 12 points were very good, but the dude only pulled down 2 boards. He is 7 feet tall!

Free throws were a problems again. We only made 56% of our shots, which is odd for a team that shoots several thousand a week. McNeese State made all of their shots from the line, all three of them. Yep, Joe Jones had more fouls (4) than the other team had foul shots.

When Turge first put Dom Kirk at the point the thought we had "problems." But after dropping six dimes in this game, it is pretty obvious that he has come a long way. Sloan is not quite where Kirk is yet, but once he is there this team is "going to be fun to watch."
