I would steer clear of UNLV. They haven’t been relevant in years. Maybe playing in a new stadium is a recruit draw but I can’t see them being a good program anytime soon. Jay Hill would be a stronger candidate

I was there as a UOP recruit. None of their coaches came out after to chat. They were humiliated

and Sochor and company had all summer to prep for them! One year we opened there with a win (78) and they were coming off a lose at South Carolina.

Unless waving a towel in street clothes counts as participation, TT didn’t in those two games. Lots of duplicate numbers out there, especially at home games

his individual stats shows carries vs Cal, Lehigh, NDSU and Montana. Allow shows Poly and Weber with 0 attempts. i'm positive those two games are incorrect.

I see that also but I think it’s wrong. He missed USD, and I don’t think he suited up after Montana. I know he was on the sidelines for Weber, Portland and MSU. I don’t know where the other two games would be

that was my understanding.

Thomas missed San Diego do only played in 4 games

My mistake: Mooney played and scored 4. He hasn’t been in a groove lately

comparing this era with the Sochor era is kinda crazy. When I played, our regular season consisted of 7-8 teams where we were CLEARLY more talented. This years team played 5 of the top 6 seeds, USD and a bowl-bound California.

You don’t win 10 games at this level with subpar coaching. We’ll be back

No Mooney? Nice to see Printup contribute. Besides Nuefeld and Manjon (although he was 2-11 from the field) , we haven’t seen a consistent scorer. Playing without Mooney and Squire makes it tough. Gotta survive this next week without this early season beating these guys down

That’s shocking. I wasn’t that impressed by MSU. So we win and ISU over Weber and we have a 5-way tie. Weird. I don’t see Weber losing do they’d get the auto bid regardless (I think)

This is their biggest game. Win and they win the Big Sky (at least tied) and possibly get a top 4 seed depending on how others do. Lose, and the title is gone and the seed drops toward a dreaded 7 or 8.

The two games we were expected to lose (and by double digits) might have been our most complete games. Our defense is better now and If we limit turnovers (had a few at Fargo) and maybe it’s our day.

we started 81 1-4. The last of those two losses were road losses at Humboldt (ending FWC winning streak at something like 35 in a row) and a 30-0 bestdown at Poly. Won the last 5 for a winning record and FWC title. 82 won 12 straight, so 17 in a row

Ken started in 80; we were 7-2-1. 81, we were 6-4.

we shot 37% from the floor, 0-5 from 3. if you take away Nuefeld's 8-13 shooting, we're down to 29%. Sac was 44% from the floor (lot of points in the paint), 1-11 from 3.

no review of the Brussel Sprouts? they were good, just not brisket and/or rib good!

I might have been a little harsh on my comments on Mooney. I think he showed last year he had developed more offensive skills than just spot-up shooter. I think Stefan could be a valuable defensive-minded, spot-shooting starter on a more complete team....but.....that's not this team.

we got to the hospitality late last night at Sauced, after the delicious ribs and brisket were scrafed down, and the only thing left were some bruissel sprouts. last night, the Aggies seemed like the bruissel sprouts of the doubleheader. not bad, but not the same caliber as the rest. Nuefeld had a good game offensively, Manjon looks like he's going to be a player, and Stefan and Mooney look like solid role players......beyond that? not much. Sac (and the other two teams) just looked so much more physical and agressive than us. I know its tough to shot in the big arenas, but, most of our outside shots looked like they never had a chance. Sac overplayed us defensively and we didn't have anyone that could create points when they did.

i hope i'm wrong, but it looks like a very long season.

we really need all of our playmakers to rise up to the ocassion (besides Ulonzo, who has been a stud week in and week out).

Sac is coming off a convincing win over Riverside. Riverside has beat Idaho and Nebraska (who also lost to SUU!), so this should be a good test for us. After playing in front of thousands of empty seats in Arkansas, playing at the Golden 1 in front of a modest but lively crowd should give both teams some energy. I was there last year, and we played really poorly in a lose -> a harbinger of the rest of the season. I'm hoping the team defense makes a big leap forward, and we get more scoring from the bench (still waiting on that big shooting game from Gonzalez). I'll be there for the early tip-off. I really like the arena and the surrounding area. Sac did a great job there.
