Rams could be in NIT trouble

The A-Sun tourney just tipped and eight seed Kennesaw beat top seed Lipscomb. The somewhat new rule that says a regular season conference champ automatically goes to the NIT, so Lipscomb is going to the NIT which means a team will get knocked out to the NIT to the CBI. That team could be CSU.

low scoring game

As I said in the preview TCU is keeping it close by slowing it down.

Not good

They played close to CSU and Utah the past two weeks.

I think SDSU will beat them in Vegas

If the top 4 teams win their first games

It would be

New Mexico and SDSU

BYU and UNLV

In the second round. Looks like a BYU SDSU final to me.

5-13 Free Throws?

Who do you think you are, the Aztecs?

Free throws

They did that against BYU were 9-20 in that game. FTs will be their weakness in close games.

BYU Michael Floyd

Is stepping it up and could be an asset in the conference and NCAA tourney.

by Jeremy Mauss on Mar 3, 2010 6:54 PM PST reply actions  

He should play well in their loss to A & M

LOBOS WIN

MWC Champions! Thank you Roman Martinez for 4 years of hard work!

by rockies17_4 on Mar 3, 2010 7:45 PM PST reply actions  

At the end of the day

I would rather have 28 ugly wins than 27 pretty wins

by rockies17_4 on Mar 3, 2010 8:15 PM PST up reply actions  

of course

but it could be trouble if they want to make a deep NCAA tourney run.

by Jeremy Mauss on Mar 3, 2010 8:55 PM PST up reply actions  

They always

play down a notch against lower teams for some reason.

Frustrating loss for the Utes

Offense was completely out of sync
Shots did not fall whatsoever
Rebounding was pathetic

by Michael Rueckert on Mar 3, 2010 8:33 PM PST reply actions  

i know

Only good sign is that their entire team is basically freshman and sophomores, so hopefully next year they will get over the hump. However, basically the entire league comes back with little attrition.

by Jeremy Mauss on Mar 3, 2010 8:56 PM PST up reply actions  

I think the top 4 are only going to get better

I think Utah will be better but wow they were pathetic tonight.

Boylen has got to do a better job on offense. The team is completely out of sync. Rebounding is a major issue too.

by Michael Rueckert on Mar 3, 2010 9:03 PM PST up reply actions  

SDSU

scares me…Kawhi Leonard is a beast.
