We’ve had 3 home-home with WCC teams the past two years, hoping Portland comes to us next year. We had a home-home one season with UOP; nothing with them since. Seems like we’re limited to Big Sky or WCC (besides SMC and Gonzaga) as choices, unless a team from the Midwest can combine us with another local school (NIU played at SMC)

I was frustrated last season; had everybody coming back but never out it together.

I remember texting a friend after the Sac game ‘it’s gonna be a long season’. Since then, the young guys really grew up, and Mooney, Nuefeld and Gonzales have really been consistent offensive weapons. We play good D, protect the ball and do OK on the boards.

Hard to project the league due to schedules. A month ago I thought we’d be at the bottom (with poly); now hoping for a winning conference record and top half. I’ve enjoyed watching this group; planning out some Saturdays to come up and watch

I think it’s chance to brush off some of the post holiday rust and to give the bench guys a chance to play. Minutes for those guys in conference play will be few and far between, but you need them engaged and energetic for practices if you hope to compete

Holy schmoly, 101-41. Good to see everybody get a chance to play. Back to reality next week

I believe men’s game Friday is free also

Free admission, correct?

Printup puzzles me. I was sitting on the court for NIU and thought he provided some physicality and length on defense, and was solid on offense. He had a good outing at Portland with 11 points in something like 20 minutes (he may have started). Seems like we could have used him yesterday against a big, athletic team

Reno has a nice balloon festival and Tahoe is nearby. Similar descriptions of their highlights

if I lived in Albuquerque I would have a nasty outlook on life also

Tough loss since we struggled in the last 2 minutes with a couple costly turnovers and missed shots. I would have loved to beat those guys

They do play with an attitude; probably frustrated that the smart kids are hanging tough . Down 2 with 2 1/2. Team had some grit

At 10:17 it shows Ts on Nuefeld and Squire, and 2 of their players. That T hurt on Matt since he’s out now

What tbd heck happened? Live stats shows 4 T’s, 2 on players from each team!

Mooney’s 3 fouls could be an issue. Young guys need to settle. Pepper and Manjon both have 3 turnovers

First solid half to be down 2. 13 turnovers is not good ( that half court trap caused issues) but they have 11 to keep us close. These guys are a throwback to the phi slamma jamma style of play

Way too long and athletic for us unless we take care of the ball and shoot lights out

agree completely. The one and done had killed my interest in college basketball. But the programs like New Mexico really bother me

I read that 2 of their starters are suspended. Both are transfers (with checkered pasts) so it MSU be an eligiblity issue. They have many transfers (with checkered pasts). Like to see a solid competitive game; we’re not great after layoffs

Fullerton win is shocker based on their record coming in. They were red hot from the arc (over 50%)
