Utah State Overview (Preview)

[djm19]

These are always full of numbers. Helps give people one location on what to expect. Lots of filler garbage, but you learn a lot about USU and WYO by reading it.

is it me or is anyone else nervous??? LOL, it's be neat to win there for the 1st time since 1975, the year of 1sts for our Pokes, in a tough place to play

Moore and Collette. As they go, the team goes.

Collette is a headcase. He fouls nonstop. I don't think USU front line can match the Pokes. The past couple game sdin Logan have been a blowout win over AF and a tough loss to NM that they should have won.

I think the Pokes match up well with them. USU is a very streaky team. They get a little momentum and can reel off 10-12 points in no time. If we shoot like we did vs SJSU or even SDSU and this game is a sure L.

We bring our "A" game - we win. There is no quit or give up in this Cowboy team.

Capital Q "quitting" tonight. I'm beginning to hate our offense.

We didn't quit - we just didn't bring our "A" game. This one falls on the coaches as much as the players. If we don't get more physical in our game, we will not go very far.

We quit. Ten minutes left and you could see our guys were done playing. It was unacceptable

Is it my imagination? -- it seems like the Pokes do better when things get chaotic - like when they get a turnover, or a ball gets batted around on offense and Riley (or someone) picks it up and sinks a shot. In other words, the Pokes seem to do best when their unconscious basketball instinct kicks in, not when they have to "think" about every move they make.

Totally agree.
The Hank buzzer beater 3s throughout the year, the put back dunks, alley-oops, all of those seem to be in the moment. We think too hard we lose. Just go play ball.

Seems like if the dunks aren't there for DC he really disappears, this game reminded me so much of when I went down to SMU and the bigs clogged the lane and Larry couldn't be Larry. Josh will NOT have a bad game on Saturday again, but come on DC and Hank and even Jason, time to score some points and be a factor as opposed to a person on the court

I like McManimal so much but he needs to be behind Aka Gorski until he proves he deserves it. Aka Gorski, in his limited playing time, has shown he can score and has the ability to be hit shots more than once a game.
