I agree, the loss to Vegas was a bad loss. Meh. Yes, the UNLV loss was a bad one (Q3 loss) but one that will be meaningless unless USU drops another game to an also-ran (Wyoming, Fresno or UNR). That most certainly could happen, so there’s no room for error. The UNLV loss is even meaningless as to ...

We had this debate last week. Many won't agree with you, but I will. For this one year, 4 teams is fine with me.

It’s a great idea provided your team is one of the 4 invited teams.

If history is any guide USU will sweep..Nevada is in a bit of a rebuild and rarely wins in Logan even with good teams... My point was some here were shocked by the outcome calling a loss to Nevada an embarrassment. The margin was surprising but not the win. You have a good team and I respect what y...

You guys had a clunker against Vegas and lost a close game on the road..It happens..However, I am not at all impressed with UNLV. Nevada has lost 5 conference games, 4 on the road, by a total of 21 points..Vegas lost to a team picked near the bottom of the conference by 29 points.. Nevada did shoot...

Looks like maybe the 2nd game was postponed. I don’t see any scores and it’s not listed on CBS Sports.

The game is scheduled for tomorrow night.

UNR beating UNLV by 30 points is not going to help our resume.

Smith’s comment about sums it up. “If we’re good enough we’ll get in. If we’re not, we won’t.”

SDS is bludgeoning every team it plays — especially Wyoming. 3-point shooting? 48%. FG%? 61% Rebounding? 35 to 20. FT %? 86% only 8 TO and an A:TO ratio of almost three. You couldn’t ask for a better stat line than that. They are going to be a load in the MWC tourney. I would welcome the Aztecs to h...

We are now beyond having played half of our conference schedule. Here are the grades I think the major contributors (9 deep) have earned so far. My grades are based on the expectations going into the season versus what they have actually delivered thus far. Queta: A- Neemias has pretty much done eve...

Bean taking 3’s takes him out of the picture of what he does best — get offensive rebounds. We have a few serviceable 3-point shooters — Miller, Anderson, Ashworth and even Anthony. Although I am perplexed as to why Anthony can hit 40% of his threes het only 63% of his FTs — barely better than Queta...

We find ourselves rooting for BSU to beat CSU tomorrow and then for BAU to lose both games to SDS. Then we need to at least split with BSU. A 4-way tie with 3 losses gives us the edge. If BSU loses again to CSU then we would either need to sweep BSU or hope for another CSU loss. Losing to anyone out...

For a team of players that some said were all “elite defenders” we have sure done a p-poor job the last game and one-half defending the 3-point line.

Those Colgate Raiders are crushing it this year. Number 13 in the NET with a record of 5-1 (only against Q3 and Q4 opponents) Haha....I look at that every day and it bugs the holy hell out of me. They've played exactly 3 opponents on the season. Their best win is against #89 Army West Point (who is...

Napolean may or may not have said the following: “God is on the side of the army with the best artillery.” Sight unseen, and everything else being equal, I have found it to better to bet on the team that is 2-0 when it is playing another team for the third time. Granted, if in the MWC tourney USU pl...

The following held between 2008 and 2018: “According to STATS LLC., there have been 981 similar matchups across Division I college basketball over the past 10 seasons.

Won’t be popular, but I would honestly reduce it to the top 4 teams this year.

The Aggies would have likely controlled its own destiny had they won last night against CSU. Now there’s little room for error. Likely 3 losses ties for or takes the regular season championship outright. That means the Aggies must at least split with BSU, and have CSU do the same while SDS sweeps th...

According to TR we are #35, two spots ahead of BSU.

I think that Miller is a good defender, one of the best on the team. Probably why we haven't seen any of the Euros playing. Defense is instinct and hustle. He has both. He's growing a player. He get's his 3-point percentage around 45%, I really like our chances of competing in the tournament. I’ll ...

I was pretty hard on Anthony the first few games of the season... and he may have deserved it. I wanted to post something great I noticed about Anthony this week though. His scoring was down and he couldn't drive past SDSU defense to get into the lane for scoring chances like he could against other...

The keys: - Queta being Queta - Bean and Anthony getting off the schneid - Miller continuing with his 40% 3-point shooting - Ashcroft continuing to do what we’ve seen him do - Worster not turning the ball over a bunch All that = Aggie 10 point win Ashcroft?

Meh. The stats I noted were through Friday’s games. Ken Palm’s rankings are through Saturday’s games — which likely explains the difference between the NCAA’s #11 defensive ranking for the Aggies and Ken Palm’s #7 defensive ranking. Let’s just agree that USU’s defense is legit and simply leave it at...

Regarding defense, the Aggies have allowed 52, 48, 53, 45, 46 and 45 points in their last six games. That doesn’t happen unless EVERYONE is playing great defense. Give me data that supports such an over-arching statement. Not everyone on the team excells at defense. Uh, when you’ve statistically be...

Watch Hair invite Houston and Tulsa to the MWC now, you know he'd try it. And he absolutely should be proactive. But more so BYU and Houston.

Queta makes every player on our team a better defensive player. We can overplay and take more risks on the perimeter.

I just watched the replay of the game. As we know Queta and Miller were the heroes. I like Worster, and he’s a scrapper, but he gets himself into a lot of trouble driving deep into the lane with no where to go and no one to pass to. Bean and Anthony had less than steller offensive games but boy thei...

With NM playing Dixie St. tomorrow in St. George and then at UNLV on Jan. 16 and 18 (120 miles from St. George) and then “home” against SJS on Jan. 21 and 23 (in St. George) will the Lobos just take up temporary residency in Utah?

They had some nice pieces with Maldonado, Marble, Thompson, and Foster but they’ve had some other players step up. They’ve always had some talent but never had much of an identity or system under Edward. Linder is a much better coach though and it’ll be interesting if they can build some success. T...

Brock is playing well. He is taking good shots. He is also playing really good defense, i am happy for him. You are watching a different Miller than I am. Brock’s lateral speed is terrible. He can’t seem to keep in front of his man. Queta erases some of Brock’s defensive mistakes. His 3-pont shooti...
