Game Thread: CSU Bakersfield @ Wyoming

[DVDA]

CSUB will be playing their first road game and are 3-0 on the season. Their wins have come against San Diego Christian, Idaho, and Fresno Pacific.

They have played 7 guys 20+ mpg and have an 8th guy with 13.5 mpg. The rest seem to be scrap minutes.

They start a 6'9" 250 lb center(#42) and run 4 smaller players around him. When he goes out, they put in a 6'8" 205 lb guy(#33).

Their leading rebounder, Kevin Mays(#10), is a 6'4" 220 lb forward. He has 12 offensive boards and 18 defensive on the season. Wyoming will need to get a body on him every possession.

They have a guy shooting 45% on 31 threes. The rest of the team is low volume low percentage outside shooters. Their team percentage of 37% is almost entirely on Damiyne Durham(#23). He's 6'4", but only 175 lbs so the team shouldn't have that difficult of a time staying in his hip pocket and disrupting his flow.

Wyoming should match up with these guys really well. Herndon's height advantage against #10's weight advantage will be a very important matchup for deciding this game.

I expect a close game. Hopefully we can see improvement on defense and on the boards. Go, Pokes!

And Brent Wrapp, son of Alumni Mark Wrapp is on CSU Bakersfield's team.

I'll set the O/U at 25 for how many Adams scores tonight. That's his current average, so it sounds reasonable.

I'll take the over.

Over if he's hitting the 3, under if his shot is off.

Very most probably less than 36, based on the "Regression to the Mean" principle. However hitting three's or not may not be the most important factor. He has an unexpired drivers license , so he may put it to use frequently. How often the cops stop to check this license may determine how well he does.

Mine is HD, zero buffering. It's probably your provider...

 

[laxwyo]

And just like that, a comfortable lead is gone

I personally think Dalton and Lieberman should be playing less at the moment.

I personally think Dalton and Lieberman should be playing less at the moment.

There's different recent for their struggles, though. Dalton doesn't have the strength yet to play defense and doesn't provide an interior threat. Lieberman is just in a funk (like hankerson last year) and will snap out of it.

 

[CowboyNV]

Why is Dalton in there at crunch time?

 

[calpoke25]

If you want to show someone how to not break the press, show them what Dalton just did.

 

[calpoke25]

That was a bad call on the charge but I will take it.

For a crowd of only 150 they made some noise at the end, haha. Nice win for the kids tonight. Now we need a little payback on Saturday.
