what does everybody think, they are kinda a Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde team from last year.....i really haven't been keeping tabs on them too close this year, i'm sure sheeeep faithful are very down from last years squad. Avilla seems good, Bejarano and Octeus are really all I remember and know about. They aren't really tall and I don't miss Iverson at all, I think we can match up decently.....if Riley and Sobey have a game I think we can steal this one at the Barn....
UW 58 CSU 55....beeeet the sheeep
 
The game is winnable. In fact, even without Nance, I like our chances. But Adams has to play better. He has been a turnover machine as of late. Hankerson and Granberry will need to pick it up on the boards and offensively. This team is the polar opposite of last year's team. Everyone on this team is unselfish, almost to a fault. Last year, we had 2 players who chucked it up from anywhere.
 
Shyatt said in his press conference this morning that Halderson and Sellers will probably be seeing time on the court with Nance out. I'm very curious to see how that will work out. Maybe they just weren't playing because Larry hardly ever came out of the game.

Maybe Josh and Riley, being from Colorado will want to play good on their "home turf" and show them what they're missing
As for Sellers and Haldorson, give em a shot, why not they might surprise us and there's no sense of leaving everything on the bench, we're kinda force to use all our troops, maybe if they woulda been brought along more often Larry coulda had a rest here and there and this darned injury wouldn't have happened.
Beeeet the Sheeeep
 
As long as the guys don't play down-and-out because of the Nance injury, I like our chances. I still think we could sweep CSU and beat Air Force. Boise will be tough because of their talent, and Utah State has some size. I'm not sold that we'll lose in Logan, however. Utah State, home or away, really isn't all that good. They're WAC good. Not MWC good.
 
From the article "Less is More" in New Scientist, Jan 18-24, 2014:

"It is the second game of the 1999 US National Basketball Association play-offs - the New York Knicks vs the Indiana Pacers. The eighth-seeded Knicks are holding their own against the number 2 seeds when their best player, Patrick Ewing, tears his Achilles tendon. All seems lost with the Pacers heavily favored for the rest of the series. Yet against all odds, the Knicks go on to win the series 4-2 and qualify for the finals.

The Knick's success against the Pacers was so unexpected that the story behind it has become a legend, even gaining its own name. The so-called 'Ewing effect' has been evoked by pundits to explain sporting victories in which the underdog inexplicitly triumphs."

Will the Pokes have a "Nance effect"?

The article is by subscription only (I will post if I can free it from its bounds) but talks about the Nash equilibrium and technical things including basketball. New Scientist should be available in university libraries.
