10 turnovers in the first half and 12% (1 for 8) 3-pt shooting killed us. The other is the frequent occurrence of multiple minute scoring droughts. Nevada shot 48% over the game, which shows a lack of defensive pressure. Defense wins championships.

I thought we played well enough to win until the last 4 minutes. Seemed to run out of gas.

100%. Steve Fisher famously walked SDSU's campus giving away tickets when he started coaching there.

NM shot 37% from 3. This is average. We didn’t play well. The refs didn’t impact the outcome. I would state anything above 30% is above average. I'll see if I can find the national average in D-1. Average was hard to find, but median is 33.6%, so I was wrong. See https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-b...

They still need to limit turnovers and scoring droughts. The AFA game was the best I've seen all year.

I'd love to see us win this game. Our road record indicates it will be a huge challenge.

For sure. I would coach it too. But if I could wave a magic wand that would never be a foul for anyone. If it’s a honest shot attempt with contact, it should be a foul. If anyone in their right mind can tell a shooter would never do what they did unless it was to try and get a foul. No way. But I d...

Another problem is the 7 minutes of not scoring. We have had that in many of our losses. I've seen as many as 10 minute stretches. Poor shot selection, turnovers killing us.

It’s pretty simple to me. Saying you ‘don’t accept mediocrity’ is absolutely hollow without action. Put your money where your mouth is and throw the money at NIL. But beating a drum saying ‘I don’t accept mediocrity’ while at the same time doing absolutely nothing about it other than complaining it...

This is nonsense. Non-revenue sport athletes at Wyoming can succeed on a world stage (Bryce Meredith). If the decision is academics there are even some programs where the University of Wyoming is the best in the country/world (see Energy Engineering/School of Energy Resources). But ‘non-revenue spo...

I watched SFA beat West Virginia with Bob Huggins one year. They are hard nosed and tough.

I love their mascot, "Hardrockers!"

Barnes can plan all he wants. They will not have any way to do so as the buyouts remain next year.

There are contract stipulations to prevent raiding the conference and from what I've read, OSU and WSU won't really have the $$ to try to force it. I read that floated around prior to the announcement of this agreement. Did you find something that said the scheduling agreement contained a "no ...

My brother lives in SLC and has Utah basketball tickets, but will not buy Football because of Whittingham.

Cut down on the turnovers and we can compete. A stat I like: 94.1% from the free throw line.

There is another one that shows "historic performance":
