I feel like the Basketball team falling apart might be related to so many games in a short period of time. But the games were lost put us on the bubble in a 12 seed so if we’re one and done at the tournament I don’t expect us to get in.

I’ve seen us as a 9 seed in most brackets. Seems like a stretch that one more loss to a good team would completely knock us out

I agree. We saved our asses yesterday. One and done may drop us to a play-in game, but I think the respect for the Mountain West this year will carry us in. Always depends what happens with other teams and conferences though

Yah but they haven’t beaten Vegas in Vegas since I had a full head of hair 20 years ago. Unfortunately I think they are one done. Hope I’m wrong.

Why don't you go back to making your crappy imperialist maps on twitter and stop trolling our board. We know who you are.

For those who don’t know, losing to a team every time on their home court since 1993 is a word called a “trend.” A trend is the general course or prevailing tendency. This could also be called a “pattern” or “theme.”

When determining what a most likely outcome is, one can rely on statistical and historical data, or as we discussed earlier, “trends.” If you forgot what that means already, jump back up to the first paragraph. For instance, if a team hasn’t defeated another team on its home court since Bill Clinton’s first term, the data would suggest that said team LIKELY won’t defeat the other team on its home court when they play again on that court.

These are not hard and fast rules. Team A could certainly defeat Team B on their home court, but history, or the “trend” tells us the opposite is more likely. If this isn’t clear I can explain further. Just let me know.

Now if we had SDSU reputation than we would still be a 11-12 seed. However we’re Wyoming and I believe we have to win at least two in Vegas. One would be a bubble team that would have to fight with a bunch of other bubble teams that scenario is bad for us.

There is also a thing that team B is due to win one eventually. Plus your year is wrong. 2002 or 2003 is the last time the Pokes won there.

Could somebody enlighten us relative newcomers what is going on in this thread...I feel like I'm missing some background.

From what I can piece together... SDpoke is not confident that we can win against UNLV in the opening round of the tournament (a sentiment I share). SDpoke then says that the reason he is not confident has to do with a poor track record against UNLV in recent and not-so recent history (I agree that the history is terrible at the T&M but that is not the reason I'm lacking confidence). At this point the conversation devolves into areas that I can't understand involving imperialist map-making and Braveheart. What is the backstory here? Am I missing an inside joke?
