Trap Game
Trap Game
I’m worried about the CSU game. It is the perfect trap game.
1. It’s on the road
2. We are coming off a big victory
3. CSU has an extra day to prepare
4. CSU will be plenty motivated after getting handled by UNLV at home
5. CSU has struggled this year, but still has plenty of talent including the top pg in the conference. They won at St Mary’s
6. We may be tired. Other teams have had bury weeks, but ours came after Hawaii. Our next one does not come till close till the end of the season

Re: Trap Game
CSU is more than capable of beating the Aggies. They are solid at home. They have soom good shooters as well as one of the best players in the league. I think the team will be focused and motivated but it won't be easy. Need a fast start.

Re: Trap Game
This is kind of the point. The team has been up and down a bit. When they are good, they beat really good teams, but then they tend to let down inexplicably.
When will they have another down game?

Re: Trap Game
Agreed, no trap about this game. We could easy just straight up lose. Good team on the road...

Re: Trap Game
It is absolutely crucial that we as message board commenters don't look past this game. I pledge that I will not.

Re: Trap Game
Definitely a trap game, but I like how the Ags are playing right now. I think they will be dialed in.

Re: Trap Game
Just how quickly will we bury this thread after the Aggies win by 15?

Re: Trap Game
I really don't think there are an easy or gimmee games in this league. Every team is tough, every venue is tough...it's really a great basketball conference.

Re: Trap Game
Sucks for CSU, they still have Steven's who is capable of going for 30-40. They will be playing loose with nothing to lose.

Re: Trap Game
Do we have a Martineau to throw at their Freeman? Throw a box and one at em?
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Re: Trap Game
Throw in the fact that the MW has told the refs to call games against us.. this makes any MW game all the harder.

Re: Trap Game
This is not a trap game as I define them — which is a gimme game sandwiched between two very tough games leading a team to not prepare for the gimme. Any team that can lose to Weber St. on its home court has no gimme games.
Re: Trap Game
So if a team loses a trap (gimme) game is it then determined it was never a gimme game in the first place and thus was never a trap game? Therefore any trap game lost really was not a trap game?

Re: Trap Game
I can’t see Gordo’s post, so I don’t know if he mentioned this, but apparently CSU will only have 7 scholarship players available tonight.

Re: Trap Game
We better be attacking the basket and being aggressive. They are not going to want to foul and will play soft.
If we are just shooting 3s and fadeaways I will question someones smarts.
