Uh, you know, Mike, you know, it's, it's, I, I, you know, talking to our producer Frank
00:03
here before the show, he made a pretty good point.
00:05
He said that this game was probably bigger for A&M than it was for Auburn, who seems
00:09
to probably have locked in a number one seed.
00:12
If they're not the number one team in the country, I mean, who knows, maybe they lose
00:15
one more time in their number two team in the country, but definitely a signature win
00:18
for A&M, which is going to help their seeding coming up in a couple of weeks.
00:22
Absolutely.
00:23
And plus, don't forget, A&M was on a four game losing streak.
00:26
So they needed to write their circumstance.
00:30
They couldn't go into the SEC tournament on a significant losing streak, or even if
00:36
they'd win this weekend, a five of six type deal, they needed to get it back.
00:40
And this was an opportunity to get a big one.
00:42
I caught a vibe when I was looking at that game that reminded me a little bit of, of
00:50
Florida in their 2006, 07 season when they won the championship, but they went into the
00:54
SEC tournament losing three of five, because it just didn't matter to them.
00:59
They clinched the SEC regular season championship with a lot of time left, a week and a half
01:04
left in the season.
01:05
And they just seemed to, okay, we, we, this, this didn't mean that much to us, given that
01:09
we're trying to go two in a row, but it meant something.
01:12
And now there's not anything that means anything to us the rest of the way until we get to
01:16
the SEC tournament.
01:18
So that's kind of how it went.
01:19
And I felt like that with Auburn, Auburn is going to be the number one overall seed,
01:25
if they lose their next two, I think they still will be the one overall seed because
01:29
of all they've accomplished.
01:31
And so I don't know about the poll ranking, but I don't care about it.
01:35
And I don't think they do either.
01:37
They want to win in March.
01:39
They want to win the biggest trophy.
01:41
Certainly they already have the SEC regular season.
01:45
And they certainly would like to win the SEC tournament as well.
01:48
But the big trophy is the one they're after.
01:50
A desperation can do a lot of things at this time of year.
01:53
And you saw that across the bubble on Tuesday night, how, how intense the games were, how
01:59
competitive they were, how well played they were because of what everybody is trying to
02:04
get done.
02:05
And I think although A&M is far from the bubble, I think the same concept was at work because
02:10
of the losing streak.
