February Madness

Less than 48 hours after the biggest road win in program history, the Texas A&M basketball team turns around to play the no. 23-ranked t-sips tonight in another nationally televised game on ESPN. As much as I'd love to heap derision in the direction of Austin, I can't, because freshman phenom Kevin Durant is probably the best player A&M will face this year--is probably the single best player in all of college basketball. Blink, and you'll miss him, because next year he'll be starring on an NBA squad somewhere. The Ags did manage to shut down Oklahoma State's star Mario Boggan earlier in the season, though, so we'll see if they can work that magic again tonight.

This whole "basketball power" thing is still messing with my worldview. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. But the idea of thousands of students turning out at 2 a.m. to greet the basketball team is something that was once unheard of at A&M.
