Last Thursday, Texas A&M (14-2) lost to the LSU Tigers (13-3). In that game, Aggies star guard Chennedy Carter left in the first half with a foot injury and didn't return. The Aggies had the lead at the half, but LSU came back and earned the victory thanks to a strong second half, including a fourth quarter where it held A&M to eight points.

That A&M lost that game without Carter prompted some to wonder about how A&M would fare if Carter were to miss an extended period of time. Thankfully, it looks like Carter will be back for A&M's next game against Kentucky ?— an extremely good team led by sophomore Rhyne Howard, who's arguably the best second-year player in the country right now ?— but the whole idea that the Aggies could be without Carter got me thinking about how the rest of this A&M roster isn't getting enough respect.
