  • Pretty crazy that Frankamp is TWENTY ONE on this list. Perhaps because he's eligible midseason? Or that he's behind All-Americans? Just shows how awesome we are.

    • I think the thing that surprises me the most is Sterling Gibbs at #2. I mean sure, the kids a good player, but I've definitely never thought of him as a world beater.

      • COMMENTARY: Aggies have chances for good non-conference wins - Las Cruces Sun-News




        "...December has a lot of key games for the Aggies, as they also travel to Baylor (Dec. 23) and Wichita State (Dec. 28) for two guarantee games. Both teams could be in the Top 25 in late December. NMSU is receiving $100,000 for the Baylor game and $125,000 for the Wichita State game...."


        The only thing I can't figure out is, "is this a good thing or a bad thing that we have to pay $25,000 more than Baylor."

          I'm not sure. It's probably a bit of a sign that it's still next to impossible to schedule teams from good conferences to come to Koch. Hence the extra cash to get them to bite.

            • We could have gotten Alabama A &M or Jackson State for 100k. I like this better.

                Flying commercial, it is extremely difficult and expensive to get to Wichita from anywhere. To fly, they would drive 55 minutes to El Paso then fly to Waco or Wichita. The cost per person is about $690 for either trip unless you pay less and have 3-4 hour extra layover time.

                According to Google maps, it is 9:49 to 11:44 in driving time difference as well.

                  • It could be that they want the additional $25k for the extra beating they are in for.

                        You could do worse picking the first team.

                        After that, you almost have to try to do that poorly.

                          • Parrish loves Skal Labrisse so much because he enjoys being able to pronounce his name and he is from Memphis. Other than that...

                            Trimble and Brogdon over Baker is just for funs, though.

                              Did Ron Baker not play for Team USA this summer?

                              I could have sworn I saw him play as well or better than any other college player on the floor.
