@midmajortapes Don’t anybody think he could make 3s…that was a fluke!😎😎😎

Tai Wesley was an ANIMAL at Utah State!

Bucky McMillan should win SEC Coach of the Year. He was the last power conference head coach hired, had 0 scholarship players on the roster, and was 2 weeks late to the portal. Last in the SEC in returning production (1.7%) Picked to finish 13th in the preseason. Finished 11-7 and in a tie for 4th place. No team exceeded their preseason projected finish by more than A&M, who jumped up 9 spots. With 14 new players, most of the roster got here by June but they had multiple preseason injuries. A&M didn’t have their first practice together as a completely healthy team until December 3rd. Then they played only 3 games together before losing Mackenzie Mgbako, their best player and a projected NBA Draft pick, for the season to a fractured foot. They entered SEC play with 34% odds to make the NCAA Tournament according to Torvik. @JonRothstein and @ryanhammer09 saw the vision, picking A&M as their sleeper team in the SEC, but this team was mostly ignored by the national media until their 7-1 start. February wasn’t pretty, but they rallied to win 4 of their last 6 games and fight their way into the NCAA Tournament and tie for fourth place in the toughest league in the country. They’re the shortest team in the league, have one player in their top 8 rotation taller than 6-foot-7, have just one player averaging over 12 PPG, and no elite one on one defenders. Yet they found a way to win 11 games and finish with a top 3 defense in the SEC, per KenPom. That’s a well-coached, bought in team. Someone please find me a better story and a better coaching job than a team most people thought would win 4 games in the SEC losing their best player and still finishing at the top of the league. You can’t find one. Bucky McMillan should be your 2026 Coach of the Year in the SEC... And it’s not even close 👍

If you live in the state you are fully aware of the 'lake effect'. In the 3rd quarter of the Woods Cross-Highland Quarterfinal you were introduced to the 'Lee Effect'. Grady Lee went for 10 points in the 3rd quarter alone helping the Rams create a lead they would never look back from! @kslsports @TABBank @oberholtzerjo @IsaiahDrisdom @BodieDodge @sorenries

Poor guy…has only 2 HR since June 23
