Numbers also represent the challenge.
We know we have to prepare and play well to be competitive. Gillom learned that hard lesson in her debut a year ago. Her first Aggies team dropped its final 10 games and tumbled into the Big 12 cellar with a 2-14 conference record. Nine of the Aggies' 20 losses were by five points or less. This season Gillom has a solid foundation on which to build - three returning starters and five reserves, all of whom averaged at least five minutes per game last season.
