No. 17 Texas A&M Aggies trounce LSU 71-38 in SEC Tournament

March 14 21:00 2016

Here’s the complete broadcast schedule and previews of some of the top conference games for this Selection Sunday. “He has led our team to Texas A&M’s first conference championship in 30 years, with an NCAA Tournament invitation likely to come on Sunday”. They needed the SEC’s auto-bid. The Tigers lost four of five February 10-23 but have played better since. “We got down, and we didn’t stop”.

The Texas A&M Aggies are very solid team and will be a hard team to knock out in this tournament. The Aggies and Wildcats are third and fourth seeds, respectively, while Vanderbilt squeezed in as an 11th seed. Dude was grabbing rebounds over three guys, knocking down one-handed putbacks, and going all Greg Jennings in Madden, putting his team on his back dude (Google it). So not only did the SEC have four fewer teams than those Power 5 conferences, but Vandy barely got in as an at-large team.

Since that game, both teams have made a case for being the best in the SEC this season, and Kentucky fans feel their team was robbed by an official who could have easily looked at Humphries’ slamming the ball to the floor as a celebration and not an outburst directed at anyone. The Orange is a 10th seed.

These teams split the regular season title after the Aggies edged Kentucky in College Station in overtime on February 20 and each finished 13-5 in league play.

In a surprise to no one, he was named SEC Tournament Most Valuable Player after leading United Kingdom to its second comeback from a halftime deficit in as many days and their first two of the season.

Tonny Trocha-Morales scored 13 points as Texas A&M trounced LSU and freshman star Ben Simmons 71-38 on Saturday to reach the Aggies’ first conference tournament championship game since 1994. The freshman guard had a big SEC Tournament and showed he can be a real difference-maker on the offensive end in addition to already being a bulldog of a defender. The extremely pro-Kentucky crowd had a clear effect on the zebras, as they repeatedly swallowed their whistles when A&M attacked the rim. Here’s how they’ll do.

“I’ve never, never been in a game like this”, said LSU guard Tim Quarterman, who was 2 of 14 from the field for six points after scoring 18 in an 84-75 win over Tennessee Friday.

Arkansas-Little Rock 70, Louisiana-Monroe 50: Roger Woods scored 19 points and the Trojans (29-4) punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament with a dominant second half in the Sun Belt tournament final. Kentucky should get past Stony Brook to set up a potential showdown against a historically familiar foe – Indiana. Turning point: The rebound on a Tyler Ulis miss with 1:30 showing went out of bounds to Kentucky. Neither Kentucky nor IN could beat North Carolina IN the Sweet 16, but the Wildcats won’t get that opportunity.

“You don’t envision beating someone by 40 in the semifinal game before you try and go to the championship, but that’s just how the game played out”, Aggies senior guard Alex Caruso said.

Texas A&M: The Aggies’ two tournament titles came in 1980 and 1987.

Tournament run: Sweet enough. In Kentucky’s past three games, Humphries has played one minute in each contest and he’s unlikely to he a factor in the rematch, but he wasn’t supposed to play a big part the first time around either.
