This team is one of the best I remember seeing in quite some time. I'd put them up against the Ewing/Davis/Uche teams of the early 2000s.

I'm not ready to go that far. And Ewing was not on those teams. That Uche/davis teams had Marcus bailey, Donte Richardson, and Jay Straight. Ewing came later, along with Brad Jones and Justin Williams.

Good catch. Was definitely thinking of Straight, not Ewing. Also, how did I forget to mention Bailey?!

Not quite that caliber, but they do have their own style that truly makes it fun to watch....I'm seriously considering a trip to Vegas in March!!

The DuSell injury could be a little silver lining if he is only out for a few games in that it gives Reynolds and Dut the opportunity for some minutes and experience. I’d love to have a little backcourt depth. And frontcourt depth too for that matter but it looks like we are gonna ride Ike-Oden-Thompson in some combination of two and pray for the best.

I think Thompson is doing much better this year and the coaches have the luxury of using him situationally.

Ike didn't play much of the second half vs. Nevada big athletic post players and I think the lead grew without Thompson or JO in the game. Thompson played pretty well aside from the fumbled rebound.

If Nevadas bigs can't exploit Thompson when he's on the floor the majority of the second half, SDSU and Fresno might be the only MW teams that can.
