If I hear any “but for the refs we would have won” comments I’ll absolutely lose it.

Can't play a bad game against a better team. UNR is better than we are at every position.

I don't agree that Nevada is a better team overall. They were tonight and kicked our (I can't express myself without swearing) but I will be stubborn and believe the Aggies are still the better team.

I took two at halftime and it didn't help!

Our soft Defense was hard to watch. We had so many chances to cut it to 2 or 3 points in the second half. But immediately after hitting a big shot, we got lazy and Nevada literally just dunked it on us or got an easy lay in. Killed our momentum.

Nevada is not a better team than us. Teams have off nights.

I honestly think we overlooked this Nevada team last night. We were looking towards an emotional night with the court renaming and against a rival in BSU.
I know talking to some other students last night the mindset was get through this game were more ready and looking forward to Saturday. It’s a huge game on Saturday that’s been circled on the calendar for a while now. So we honestly might’ve gotten caught because we just looked off last night.

I was hoping your lads would take the game lightly. Here is a bit of trivia..That is the first Pack road win against a ranked opponent since 1981...Yikes!!

I thought this game was reffed fine.

I still think the SDSU game was a reffing travesty. Eliminating Falslev and Uduje that early in the first half through 2 fouls each really affected our game. When the team that plays handsy physical defense ends up with almost half the fouls of the team that was playing passively because of early fouls, something is off.

I was hoping your guys would correlate Logan to Laramie and play accordingly. When your guys are on, they're really good.

This game should serve as a wakeup call. We aren't invincible in the Spectrum. Gotta play well and focused at home too, can't just roll the ball out and expect the home court advantage and crowd to win the game. I think we rebound from this and show up angry and ready to prove a point Saturday.

I hope you are right but that is what i expected to see last night and we didn't. Boise is very good. They are coming off a loss and will want to return the favor of the Aggies beating them in Boise. The Aggies will need to play with their on fire on Saturday. I certainly think they can and am hoping to see the fire that is needed to beat good teams even at home.
