Ray Turner 6'9 - Texas a&m university vs south carolina

>> Tom: EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT DURING FOOTBALL SEASON. >> I'M NELSON WITH THE TEXAS YELL LEADERS, HOW AS A HEAD COACH DO YOU CHANGE YOUR GAME PLAN WHILE HEADING INTO OVERTIME. THANKS. >> MIDNIGHT YELL PRACTICE YOU GET TO KISS YOUR DATE ONCE THE LIGHTS GO OUT. THERE'S NOT AS MUCH GAME WHEN WITH YOU LOSE IN OVERTIME GAME OR QUADRUPLE OVERTIME GAME. >> Matt: NO. WHEN YOU GO TO THE OVERTIME, WERE YOU LEADING? IF YOU'RE LEADING YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR GUYS UP. YOU DON'T WANT TO SHOW BEING DOWN YOURSELF AS A COACH. HAVE YOU TO BE POSITIVE AND SAY ISN'T THIS EXCITING. IT'S GOING TO PREPARE US FOR THE NCAA TOURNAMENT OR CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT. BUT IF YOU'RE DOWN AND COME IN OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE NATURALLY FIRED UP AND HAVE A SECOND LIFE. NEW LIFE. >> A QUADRUPLE OVERTIME LOSS TO TENNESSEE. THE VOLS GOT SOME BIG SHOTS DOWN THE STRETCH IN THAT ONE. MEANWHILE, SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE OVERTIME WITH GEORGIA. DID NOT -- GOT OUTSCORED 9-1 IN OVERTIME AND ALSO LAST SATURDAY, LSU KNOCKED OFF ALABAMA IN TRIPLE OVERTIME. 97-94. TREY GOLDEN HAD A CAREER HIGH 32 POINTS IN THE WIN FOR TENNESSEE IN COLLEGE STATION INCLUDING 15 AFTER REGULATION. HERE'S SMITH. >> SOUTH CAROLINA GOOD JOB OF GETTING THE BALL TO THE SWEET SPOT BUT YOU THROW IT OUT TO A GUY IN SMITH THAT'S NOT A GOOD OUTSIDE SHOOTER. 27% FROM THE THREE-POINT LINE. >> Tom: CARRERA GOT T'D UP AND STILL GOING AFTER IT WITH ANDREW YOUNG. IT'S A TWO-POINT GAME. THE FOUL WAS ON CARRERA AFTER HE GOT TIED UP WITH YOUNG TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. >> Matt: RUNNING DOWN FLOOR. IN THE POST. >> Tom: HE GOT TIED UP WITH ELLINGTON AND THEN CARRERA DECIDED TO GET INVOLVED. >> Matt: UNNECESSARY. A FOUL ON ELLINGTON? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO. THIS IS WHERE YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EMOTION IN CHECK. IN THE FIRST HALF IT WAS RAY TURNER. I'M SORRY, KOURTNEY ROBERSON WHO GOT THE TECHNICAL AND NOW CARRERA. HAVE YOU TO PLAY HARD BUT PLAY SMART AND INTELLIGENTLY. DON'T WANT TO GIVE AWAY FREE POINTS. >> Tom: ELSTON TURNER ONE OF THE BEST FREE-THROW SHOOTERS IN THE SEC. >> Matt: ELLINGTON FIGHTING IN THE POST. >> Tom: THAT WOULD BE OFFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE. >> Matt: I THINK THEY CALL A FLAG ON THAT. >> Tom: 16 NOW FOR ELSTON TURNER. CARRERA STAYS IN THE GAME. THERE'S SOME CONFUSION AS TO WHETHER THE TECHNICALS ARE ON ELLINGTON OR CARRERA. >> Matt: NOW THEY JUST WARN STEVE ANDERSON, WARN FRANK MARTIN. SO ELLINGTON HAS FOUR AND THEN THE BENCH WARNING ON THE SOUTH CAROLINA BENCH. FOUR PERSONAL FOULS ON ELLINGTON AFTER THE TECHNICAL. FOUR-POINT A&M LEAD. >> Matt: HERE COMES THE TRAP. >> Tom: AN OFFENSIVE FOUL. FIRST ON ELSTON TURNER. >> Matt: END OF CLOCK, TURNER LIKES TO GO ONE-ON-ONE. YOU SAW NUMBER FIVE SMITH TO GO DOUBLE BUT BRIAN STEELE DID NOT FORCE THE BALL HANDLER, TURNER, TO HIS LEFT HAND. >> Tom: IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE FOR SOUTH CAROLINA AFTER THE TECHNICAL IN THE AGGIE'S POSSESSION AND INSTEAD TURNS INTO AN OFFENSIVE POSSESSION ON ELSTON TURNER. >> Matt: THE TOUGH THING ABOUT THE ZONE IS YOU HAVE TO GET IT TO THE SWEET SPOT AND WHAT DOES THAT DO? NOW YOUR BIG MEN HAVE TO BE THE PLAYMAKERS AND THEY MOSTLY MORE OFTEN THAN NOT AREN'T COMFORTABLE MAKING PASSES AND READS HENCE THE TURNOVER BY SLAWSON OF SOUTH CAROLINA. SMITH GOT A HAND ON IT. AGGIES UP BY FOUR. MINDAUGAS WILL RETURN TO THE GAME FOR SOUTH CAROLINA. THERE'S A FRANK MARTIN HEAD ON THE TEXAS A&M STUDENT SECTION. THERE'S A NEAT STORY BY THE WAY. THEY HAD TWO OF THOSE HEADS AND WHEN SOUTH CAROLINA. PARDON ME, WHEN KANSAS -- START OVER. >> Matt: THAT HEAD SCARES ME. >> Tom: WHEN HE WAS HERE AS THE KANSAS STATE HEAD COACH THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. LOW AND BEHOLD HE GOES SOUTH CAROLINA AND REJOIN THE SEC BUT THOSE FANS THE ROWDIES TOOK THE BIG HEAD TO FRANK MARTIN AFTER THE LAST GAME WITH KANSAS STATE AND ASKED HIM TO AUTOGRAPH IT. HE AUTOGRAPHED AND THEY PRESENTED IT TO HIM AS A GIFT HE HAS IT IN HIS SON'S CLOSET. >> Matt: THAT'S A BIG CLOSET. >> Tom: SOMETIMES KIDS ASK IS THERE A BOOGIE MAN UNDER THE BED? NO, BUT THAT'S ONE IN THE CLOSET. HE BROUGHT IT ON THE BUS TO SHOW HIS APPRECIATION TO THE TEXAS A&M STUDENT WHO PRESENTED HIM WITH IT LAST YEAR. THEY DIDN'T THINK THEY'D SEE HIM AGAIN. >> Matt: TALK ABOUT A SON. FRANK IS A NEAT DAD. HIS DAUGHTER HAD A VOLLEYBALL GAME AND HIS FIVE-YEAR-OLD, CHRISTIAN, WAS HERE ON THE TRIP AND IT'S NEAT TO SEE COACHES THAT ARE SO INTENSE AND BEING LOVING DAD AND HUSBANDS. SHOT CLOCK AT FIVE. TURNAROUND JUMPER AND STEELE THAT'S BOARDS. FRANK MARTIN YELLING MONEY IS THE PLAY. OBVIOUSLY A GO-TO-PLAY. >> Tom: KACINAS WOULD HAVE SOME CHING THERE AND STEPPED ON THE INLINE. IT WILL STAY WITH SOUTH CAROLINA. >> Matt: MONEY. MONEY MEANS IT'S YOUR GO-TO-PLAY. LET'S SEE -- YOU CAN'T TELL FROM THAT ANGLE. HIS HEEL WAS UP. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT ONE. >> Tom: TAKE IT AWAY. BEAUTIFUL STEEL FROM CARUSO WHO READ THE PASS AND TURNER HAS EIGHT. >> Matt: CARUSO READ SMITH'S EYES THE WHOLE WAY ON THE OUT OF BOUNDS PLAY. HAVE YOU TO FAKE WITH THE BALL BUT ALSO FAKE WITH YOUR EYES. LOOK OFF THE RECEIVER OF THE BALL THAT YOU'RE THROWING TO. >> Tom: SCHOOL RECORD FOR FRESHMAN STEALS FOR ALEX CARUSO. STEELE. AND IT WILL STAY WITH SOUTH CAROLINA AGAIN. KNOCKED OUT OF BOUNDS BY RAY TURNER. DEFENSE TO OFFENSE ON THIS REPLAY. >> Matt: HERE'S THE STEAL. HE READS IT AND NOW THEY CAN'T GET BACK. LOOKS A LITTLE TIRED. CANNOT STAY IN FRONT. CREDIT TURNER FOR BRINGING THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LANE. >> Tom: CARRERA PUT IT ON THE FLOOR. IT'S ANOTHER STEAL BY CARUSO WHO GETS TRIPPED UP. >> Matt: THE REASON WHY CARUSO PLAYS. HE CAN HANDLE THE BALL, PASS THE BALL AND HE'S TREMENDOUS IN TERMS OF HIS DEFENSIVE ANTICIPATION AND QUICKNESS. >> Tom: AGGIES IN THE BONUS LEADING BY SIX. HARRIS IS TRYING TO SNEAK AWAY SOME FREE THROWS. HE GETS BUSTED. HE'S AN 85% FREE-THROW SHOOTER, CARUSO 62%. AND HARRIS SAYS, WELL, IF I DIDN'T TRY -- AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW, CARUSO NAILS THE FRONT END. >> Matt: BILLY KENNEDY. WHETHER HE'S BEEN HE'S DONE A GOOD JOB. HE WAS AT MURRAY STATE. TWO-TIME OVC COACH OF THE YEAR AND GOT THEM TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT AND AT HIS ALMA MATER, SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA TOOK THEM TO THE NCAAs AS WELL. >> HE'S AVERAGED 20 WINS A SEASON OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. A WIN HERE TODAY A&M HAS A VERY GOOD CHANCE OF REACHING THE 20-WIN PLATEAU AGAIN THIS SEASON. 12-0, AGGIE RUN TO OPEN UP AN 8-POINT LEAD. WE FINALLY GET THE BASELINE CUTTER. >> Tom: TURNER TO HARRIS. >> Matt: A TIME-OUT MAY BE COMING HERE. 14-0, TEXAS A&M RUN. IS SOUTH CAROLINA WORN OUT? >> Matt: I DON'T THINK THEY'RE WORN OUT, NO. THE ZONE HAS GOT THEM STAGNANT AND THEN THEY'VE HAD TERRIBLE TURNOVERS. THEY'VE HAD TURNOVERS LIKE PICK SIX IN FOOTBALL THAT HAVE LED TO DIRECT BASKETS. YOU'VE GOT TO BE MORE SAVVY WITH YOUR PASSING. AND THEN THE GOOD THING WITH A&M IS RAY TURNER DIDN'T JUST ASSUME THAT FABYON HARRIS WAS GOING SCORE THE LAYUP. HE KEPT RUNNING. YOU HAVE TO ASSUME HE'S GOING TO MISS AND CREDIT TURNER FOR SPRINTING THE FLOOR AND USING HIS OFF-HAND FOR THE TIP. WE TALKED ABOUT ELSTON TURNER'S OFFENSE BUT HE'S A SAVVY DEFENDER. LONG ARMS AND I THINK HE HAS TWO STEALS ON THE EVENING. >> ESPN COLLEGE BASKETBALL IS AVAILABLE LIVE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE ON YOUR COMPUTER, TABLET OR SMART PHONE AND WATCH ESPN DOT COM AND WITH THE ESPN APP. >> Matt: LOVE THE ESPN APP. LOVE IT. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. >> Tom: WHICH GAMES DID YOU WATCH THIS MORNING? >> Matt: SOUTH CAROLINA RIDING THE BIKE. >> Tom: THAT'S NOT RECOMMENDED. A&M STAYING IN THE ZONE. LEONARD. GOT IT. >> Matt: GOOD BALL MOVEMENT SIDE TO SIDE. I GOT IT TO THE BASELINE. I LOVE PHILLIPS QUICK PASS TO THE SHOOTER. >> Tom: LEONARD'S COMING OFF A CAREER HIGH SITTING SIX THREE AGAINST THE TIGERS. >> Matt: LEONARD NEEDS TO WORK ON HIS DEFENSE. HE GOT BEAT BACKDOOR. FABYON HARRIS SMELLS BLOOD. >> Tom: LEONARD WANTS IT BACK ON THE WING. IS FIRED A FASTBALL OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE BACKBOARD. AGGIES ON THE OFFENSIVE GLASS. ROBERSON BRINGS IT BACK OUT. CARUSO DOESN'T WASTE TIME. OH! THE MISSED WHISTLE TURNS INTO THE EXCLAMATION POINT FOR THE AGGIES. >> Matt: IT'S FUNNY YOU GO ZONE YOU DON'T THINK YOU'LL GET AS MANY STEALS BUT THEY'RE PICKING THEM APART DEFENSIVELY IN THEIR ZONE. I'M TALKING ABOUT A&M. THAT'S BEEN THE DIFFERENCE. >> ISN'T THAT JUST BAD LUCK IF YOU'RE FRANK MARTIN AND YOU CALLED IT? THE MISSED CHARGE AND THEN THE DUNK AND NOW THE FLOATER FROM POINT-BLANK RANGE. >> Matt: ON THE ONE PLAY, YES BUT ON THE OFFENSIVE END THEY HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB OF FAKING PASSES, MAKING PASSES AND GETTING THE BALL TO THE SWEET SPOT OF ZONE. SWEET SPOT AT THE SEC LOGO AND THE BASELINE NEAR THE LANE. >> Tom: ANOTHER TURNOVER. ANOTHER RUN OUT FOR THE AGGIES. THREE ON TWO. TRANSITION THREE! AGGIES ARE RED HOT. ELSTON TURNER'S GOT 19. HIS FIRST THREE OF THE AND A HALF CAME ONCE AGAIN AFTER THE REBOUND -- AFTER THE STEAL. >> Matt: HERE'S WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE MISSED CHARGE. I REALLY FELT THAT CARUSO CHARGED THE BENEFICIARY TURNER. SENDING IT IN. HERE'S THE CHARGE. NO CALL. I THINK THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING CALLED THERE. GOES BACK TO THE IOWA STATE-KANSAS GAME. YOU HAVE MAKE A, BLOCK OR CHARGE AND GOOD PATIENCE AND STOP BY HARRIS. I'M SURE THERE WAS COMMUNICATION. USUALLY SOMEONE SAYS TRAILER, TRAILER, AND THE STEP-IN THREE BY ONE OF THE BEST SCORERS IN THE COUNTRY. THAT'S ELSTON TURNER. THE WHOLE THING STARTED WHEN A&M WENT ZONE AND SOUTH CAROLINA HASN'T FOUND AN ANSWER. >> Tom: IT'S A 21-3 RUN FOR TEXAS A&M. >> Matt: WAY HAND IN YOUR FACE LIKE BRENTON WILLIAMS JUST DID. >> Tom: MAKES IT AN 11-POINT GAME UNDER SIX TO GO. >> Matt: THEY WENT OVER THESE SETS TODAY. INEXCUSABLE FOR ELLINGTON TO GET FEED OFF THE DRIBBLE BY TURNER LIKE THAT. THAT WAS JUST TOO EASY. >> Tom: TURNER 6'5", 109. ELLINGTON, 5'9", 197. ANOTHER LOOK AT RAY TURNER BRINGING THE HAMMER. >> Matt: RAY TURNER WITH THE HAMMER! SEND IT IN, JEROME. >> Tom: TENNESSEE AND ALABAMA NOW THE FIRST TWO OUT ACCORDING TO JOE LUNARDI. >> Matt: IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE BAYLOR SLIDE INTO THE LAST FOUR, NOVA, TEMPLE, BOY OH, BOY, THEY WERE DEAD AGAINST DETROIT AT HOME. A GAME THAT WAS MADE UP BECAUSE OF A SNOW POSTPONEMENT BACK IN DECEMBER. THEY DON'T WIN AND THEY'RE DONE. THAT'S A FINE LINE IN BASKETBALL. REFEREES' CALL, MISSED SHOT, INJURY, YOU COULD BE PLAYING IN THE NIT OR NOT AT ALL IN MARCH. >> Tom: ONE OF THE BENCHMARKS NOT USED ANY MORE IS HOW THE TEAM PERFORMS OVER THE LAST TEN GAMES OF THE SEASON. YOU HAVE A HANDFUL OF TEAMS ESPECIALLY APPLICABLE TO THE SEC AS CARUSO FIRES A THREE. AND AGAIN, INSIDE TO RAY TURNER. THE TEAMS OVER THE LAST TEN GAMES, MATT, ARE NOT PERFORMING WELL BUT WILL GET JUDGED THE SAME BECAUSE OF THEIR ENTIRE BODY OF WORK. >> Matt: YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE BODY OF WORK BUT I DON'T. I JUST THINK NOW A DAYS WITH SO MANY YOUNG PLAYERS IMPACTING COLLEGE BASKETBALL THAT A TEAM LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT IN FEBRUARY. LATE FEBRUARY THAN THEY DO IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. AND SOME ADJUST BECAUSE OF INJURY LIKE TENNESSEE. TENNESSEE'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TEAM THAN THEY WERE IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. >> ELLINGTON GETS THE REACH FROM CARUSO. HIS FOURTH. ALEX CARUSO, SEVENTH IN THE LEAGUE BETTER THAN TWO AND A HALF ASSISTS A GAME. >> Matt: I LOVE THE DRIBBLE OFF THE PASS THOUGH IT WENT THROUGH ARMS. GOOD SOMEONE. I LIKE THE NO-CALL THERE BECAUSE I FELT CARRERA FLOPPED. THAT'S WHERE DEFENSIVELY, YOU'RE GUARDING CARUSO AND KNOW HE'S A PASSER, NON-SHOOTER, HANDS UP. IF YOU HAVE YOUR HANDS DOWN YOU WANT TO THROW THE BALL BY GUYS' EARS OR HIPS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THEIR HANDS THERE AS QUICKLY. BUT CARRERA HAD HIS HANDS DOWN AND LET CARUSO PICK HIM APART. >> Tom: BRIAN STEELE BACK ON THE FLOOR AND BRUCE ELLINGTON BACK TO THE FREE-THROW LINE. CARRERA GRABS THE INSIDE, AGAIN REJECTED! THE TOUCH FOR ELSTON TURNER. 23. HE STAYS RED HOT AT HOME. >> Matt: BECAUSE YOU GET THE OFFENSIVE REBOUND IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO PUT IT UP. THERE'S POINTS OFF TURNOVER. SINCE A&M'S GONE ZONE, ALL RIGHT, SOUTH CAROLINA STRUGGLED IN TURNOVERS LEADING TO 18 POINTS. THAT'S FREE MONEY THEY'RE GIVING A&M. >> Tom: HARRIS BEAT EVERYBODY DOWN THE COURT. TURNER WITH ANOTHER! >> Matt: WOW. ALL I GOT TO SAY IS, WOW. >> Tom: OVER THE LAST FIVE GAMES ELSTON TURNER'S AVERAGING 27 POINTS ON 40% SHOOTING ON THREE AND SITTING AT 26 TODAY. AGGIES TAKING CONTROL. NUMBER ONE SEED ON THE U IN 15 MINUTES. TOM. >> Tom: THANKS. THAT'S A FRANK MARTIN FACE THAT'S RECORDED VIA THE PHOTO AND NOW HAVE IT LIVE THANKS TO THIS PLAY INSIDE. IT WAS A NO-WHISTLE WITH YOUNG TUGGING ON CARRERA'S JERSEY AND AS SOON AS WE WENT TO TIME-OUT, FRANK MARTIN WENT TO WORK. HE GETS T'D UP. REMEMBER, EARLIER IN THE GAME THERE WAS A BENCH WARNING ON SOUTH CAROLINA. >> Matt: TO THE REFEREE'S CREDIT ONCE THEY T'D UP COACH MARTIN THEY TURNED THEIR BACK TO THEM AND SOMETHING YOU HAVE DO AS AN OFFICIAL AND HEAD COACH SOMETIMES IS IGNORE. LEARN TO IGNORE. THEY DON'T WANT TO RUN FRANK OUT. COACH MARTIN OUT BUT THEY HAD TO T HIM UP. >> Tom: AND SO SECOND TECHNICAL AGAINST SOUTH CAROLINA TODAY. SECOND OPPORTUNITY FOR ELSTON TURNER TO ADD TO HIS GAME HIGH. THAT'S AT 27. >> Matt: THE GAME GOT AWAY FROM COACH MARTIN'S GAMECOCKS VERY QUICKLY. I UNDERSTAND HIS FRUSTRATION. ON THE ROAD ESPECIALLY. YOU ALMOST HAVE TO PLAY A PERFECT GAME TO HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN. AND TO PLAY 40 MINUTES OF PERFECT BASKETBALL IS ALMOST TOO MUCH TO ASK. BUT WHEN YOU'RE CLOSE AND SEE ONE SLIP AWAY IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING. >> Tom: STEELE FUMBLED THE EXCHANGE. SHOT CLOCK IN DOUBLE DIGITS NOW. WILLIAMS, BACK RIMS IT. >> Matt: THE SHOT GOES UP AND BRUCE ELLINGTON GOES TO THE OFFENSIVE BOARDS AND WHEN HE DOES THERE'S ONLY ONE MAN BACK AGAINST TWO AND OFFENSIVE PLAYERS FOR A&M. >> Tom: SECOND PERSONAL ON JAHNS AFTER THE DRIVE BY WILLIAMS. AS A COACH YOU DON'T WANT -- >> Matt: LISTEN, EVERYONE'S DIFFERENT. WHAT I WANTED AND THIS IS THE DEAN SMITH WHEN I PLAYED FOR COACH SMITH THAT'S SHOT GOES UP YOU WANT YOUR POINT GUARD IDEALLY AT HALF-COURT. YOU WANT YOUR TWO TEN AT THE FOUL LINE FOR THE TOP OF THE KEY AND YOUR THREE, FOUR AND FIVE MAN OFFENSIVE GLASS. IF YOU'RE ONE-MAN GOES IN FOR A LAYUP, THE TWO MEN ROTATE BACK TO HALF-COURT AND THE ONE MAN IS CONSIDERED THE HALF MAN BACK SO YOU WANT ONE AND A HALF BACK. NOW, AT NOTRE DAME WE WEREN'T AS ATHLETIC. I ONLY SENT THREE GUYS TO THE BOARDS AND TWO BACK TO HALF COURT TO ELIMINATE THE TRANSITION BASKET. >> Tom: CARRERA TO THE THREE-POINT LINE. THEY'RE GETTING TANGLED UP ON THE REBOUND MONDAY AND TUESDAY ESPNU HAS TWO OF THE NATION'S ELITE BASKETBALL PROGRAMS ON ITS AIR. FIRST ON MONDAY, THE SIXTH-RANKED KANSAS JAYHAWKS PLAY HOST TO TEXAS TECH AT 7:00 EASTERN AND THEN TUESDAY NUMBER THREE DUKE WITH A HUGE WIN AGAINST MIAMI TODAY BEHIND THE HOT SHOOTING OF RYAN KELLY WILL HAVE VIRGINIA TECH AT CAMERON INDOOR. KANSAS AND DUKE ON ESPNU MONDAY AND TUESDAY AT 7:00 EASTERN. >> Matt: LITTLE TRIANGLE AND TWO ON SOUTH CAROLINA AND WORKED ON IT THIS AFTERNOON IN PRACTICE. >> Tom: ELLINGTON WITH THE LONG REBOUND. >> Tom: FOR BRIAN STEELE, THE WALK-ON WITH EXTENDED MINUTES TODAY, THAT'S TURNED INTO THE TOUGHEST PRACTICE OF THE SEASON YOU THINK? >> Matt: YEAH, HE'LL BE WORN OUT. HE'LL SLEEP WELL ON THE CHARTER BACK TO CAROLINA, I PROMISE. >> Tom: AND HE'S BEEN ON THE FLOOR ALL NIGHT AFTER ONLY PLAYING FIVE MINUTES OVER THE COURSE OF THE ENTIRE SEASON. TWO SHOTS FOR ELLINGTON. THINK STEELE CAN GET HIS NAME ON THE JERSEY BY THE NEXT GAME? >> Matt: THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S TOUGH. WHEN I HAD MY TEAM AT SMU I ALWAYS WANTED MY WALK-ONS, I NEVER WANTED TO WALL THEM A WALK-ON. I WANTED THEM ONCE THEY MADE THE TEAM THE FIRST THING THAT GOES UP IS THEIR NAME IN THE LOCKER AND THEIR NAME ON THE BACK OF THE JERSEY. I'M SURE COACH MARTIN WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT WHEN THEY GET BACK YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO STAND OUT IN A NEGATIVE WAY. HE'S PART OF THE TEAM AND HAS EARNED AND NOW EARNING IT ON THE FLOOR. BACK AGAIN, TRIANGLE AND TWO AND YOU THINK WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THIS EARLIER? YOU CAN'T SET YOUR DEFENSE. WHEN YOU TAKE GOOD SHOTS OR OUR SCORE THEN YOU CAN SAID THE YOUR DEFENSE TO BE WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE. >> Tom: TWO GUYS PLAYING MAN TO MAN ARE PHILLIPS AND STEELE. TWO BENCH GUYS. CARUSO WITH THE THREE! >> Matt: THAT COULD BE REALLY GOOD FOR CARUSO'S CONFIDENCE GOING FORWARD. IF HE CAN DEVELOP THE OUTSIDE SHOT AND BE CONSISTENT HE COULD HAVE A CHANCE TO BE A VERY GOOD PLAYER IN THE SEC. >> Tom: HE HIT TWO THREES AGAINST VANDY A BIT AGO AND A CONFIDENT SHOT FROM SHANE PHILLIPS, THE SENIOR. THIRD PERSONAL ON PHILLIPS. TEXAS A&M IS GOING TO GO TO 17-12 WITH THEIR SEVENTH CONFERENCE VICTORY TODAY. BEHIND THE PLAY OF ELSTON TURN WE ARE 28. CAME IN AVERAGING NEARLY 38 AND SET THE REED ARENA RECORD AGAINST OLE MISS WITH 37 AND BROKE HIS OWN RECORD AGAINST TENNESSEE NEXT TIME OUT WITH 38 AND A SCHOOL RECORD 58 MINUTES AND A WELL-DESERVED OVATION FOR THE SENIOR, TURNER. NEXT TIME OUT, SENIOR NIGHT AGAINST LSU ON WEDNESDAY. >> Matt: THE THING ABOUT TURNER'S GAME I LIKE IS IT'S AN EASY GAME. HE DOESN'T FORCE ANYTHING. HE'S IN THE FLOW. HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S A GOOD TEAMMATE. UNSELFISH SCORER, IF YOU WILL. >> Tom: WE'VE GOT A LOT OF OVATIONS THIS YEAR THE ONE MOST IMPRESSIVE WAS THE ONE BIG BLUE KENTUCKY GAVE HIM AND GOT 40 AND THE CROWD GAVE HIM A STANDING O. THEY WERE HAPPY TO SEE HIM LEAVE THE FLOOR. McDONALD ON THE FLOOR FOR A&M. HE CAME INTO THE GAME WITH FIVE MINUTES TOTAL ALL SEASON AND WILL LEAVE WITH FIVE PERSONAL FOULS IN THE GAME. AND 23 MINUTES PLAYED. HIS THREE RIGHT BEFORE THE BREAK TIED IT AT 32. GAMECOCKS TOOK THE LEAD IN THE SECOND HALF BUT THEN TURNED IT OVER AND THE AGGIES WILL TAKE THIS ONE GOING AWAY. GRANT JOLLY ENTERS AS JAHNS TAKES A SEAT. >> Matt: WHO DO YOU LIKE IN THE SEC TOURNAMENT IN NASHVILLE? >> Tom: I THINK I LIKE FLORIDA A TICK MORE THAN YOU DO. YOU KNOW, JUST IN TERMS OF OVERALL TALENT BUT I DON'T WANT -- IF I'M A COACH I DON'T WANT TO FACE THIS A&M TEAM WITH ONE GUY -- WE'VE SEEN GUYS IN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT PLAY HOT AND CARRY THEIR TEAM AND McNAMARA AT SYRACUSE. RANDOLPH CHILDRESS DID IT FOR WAKE FOREST YEARS GO IN THE ACC. >> Matt: I THINK MISSOURI COULD BE A TEAM THAT CAN RUN THROUGH THE TOURNAMENT AND WIN IT. IT WILL BE A FUN WEEK IN NASHVILLE. SOUTH CAROLINA WILL BE PLAYING ON THE FIRST DAY, TEXAS A&M TRYING TO MAKE SURE THEY GET WEDNESDAY OFF.
