Aggies have made it out of the 2nd round 4 times in their program history, looks to be an epic 1st round game
I'm already feeling pretty stupid because ticket prices from last week have now jumped 50%+ in many cases. I fear I'm going to have to pay through the nose for the Round of 16 unless JMU or Vermont go. The round of 8 is a toss-up because I imagine that the prices drop a lot on the day before the game after the 2 losing teams' fans liquidate their tickets for the regional.
I admire your determination to support the Cougars. Wish there had been more fans like you in Kansas City.
Buying tickets early comes with risk. But it's something you have to do. My biggest burn was bought tickets for the AFC championship Game in Buffalo. The Oilers never made it. So I had to watch Kubiak try to defeat the Bills in a Buffalo Blizzard. I still went.
I sure hope everyone is getting good rest and treatment. Coogs are going to need everyone possible to get through the rest of the month. I personally like the potential match ups and the story line they could produce in the South. For example it would be fun to see NC State down the road. They will drum up a ton of stories about Jimmy V and Phil Slama Jama. Some good potential blue bloods to add to the list for Sampson and company. Hopefully Friday night is just enough of a tune up to stay sharp but not wear them team out any. Should be good since Longwood is a slower pace team. To me this season is house money. Got a chance as good as anyone, better than most. Go Coogs
So, the Coogs 5th and 6th most important players are DNP'ing the tourney. The 2nd/3rd most important player (Roberts) is semi-injured. Sweet 16 -- maybe Elite 8 -- seems the pinnacle of this squad. Hope for the best, but health matters in sports. Sweet 16 is probably the best outcome.
If Roberts is healthy, Coogs are fine. Nothing is guaranteed in March Madness…but if he’s healthy, they have as good a chance or better than anyone else.
