We're notsure if their has ever been a faster rebuilding job anywhere in the country than what Billy Gillespie has done in College Station. The Aggies finished 0-16 in the Big 12 in '04, now they are winning 20+ games two years in a row, and even winning an NCAA tournament game. Now comes the national ranking, and rightfully so. This is a deep talented team, that plays 40 minutes every night. We typically shy away from high priced chalks, but not here. LA Tech has lost Paul Millsap to the NBA, and with him he takes 19.6 ppg and 13.3 rpg. The other key losses are 2nd leading scorer Corey Dean, and point guard and assist leader Daevon Haskins (161 assists). That leaves this team devoid of a point guard, little rebounding, and no scoring. Texas A &M is not shy about beating people, since they were usually the victims, now they are serving up the beatdowns. Last year they had pre-conference wins of 40,31,26,30,33, and 25 points, and in their 2 games this year they have won by 3 2, and 34. This one fits the criteria, and the punishment continues.
