A swift kick in the ass and some bench time might help.

I'm surprised at how bad Indiana is tonight. I'm more surprised at how much worse the Pokes are. Reynolds has to spell Maldo for a while. Giving the ball to them can't go on.

... not by any stretch but still calling it. This is not a good match for the Pokes.

Looks like the Pokes are NIT. Now way now committee puts 4 MWC teams in I am so tired of seeing posts like this. Are these so you can feel better when we get into the dance, or so your not so disappointed if it doesn't happen What are forums like this for if one can only express observations and op...

Ike seems to be just a half step too slow when the opposition figures out how to handle him.

Boise getting inside at will. Only Poke that can is Reynolds but his shots are off. Gonna need one hellava lot of luck to pull this one out. Can't even get open for threes.

One coach made the right adjustments at half-time. One coach didn't

Its the weight of the long grueling season. I dont think a few days of rest will matter. He shots are short. UNLV will not double team him, so he will have his chances to game up. You don’t think UNLV will double Ike? Yes they will. That's why the "other three" have to be on their game to...

Two of the top five players in the MWC on the same team. But the team finishes only fourth in the MWC. Where does that put the other three starters on that team?

Yes, won. Still pretty good. But Pokes aren't what they were a month ago. What happened?

Interesting. Looks like Williams continued with his erratic behavior at A&M.

This is exactly 95% of the problem IMHO (except for Reynolds - but that is not enough)

With the SDSU tight defense and usual low scoring games, the Pokes will need a high percentage shooting night

Do I detect that the Poke defense is playing a lot closer and tighter than in previous games?

Pokes (and CSU) a lock into big Dance. Maybe.

Really?

I'm wondering if the participants of this thread can spot a jest when they see it. Maybe not.

Absolutely true. He was out-coached this time. I was wondering how long it would take for an opponent to really put the pressure on Ike and Maldo. Now that the recipe is out, I expect big problems for the Pokes unless Linder changes things a bit for the remaining games.

Simple. Just play like UNLV did.
