Maybe all those teams light it up against us because we really aren't as good defensively and maybe we never light it up like that because we aren't as good offensively? I don't want to be a downer, I'm just saying, although I do think we are a good defensive team. Our PPG being so low is inflated due to our pace but we're still a fundamentally solid defense. I don't think we are close to a shut down defense though like SDSU is. I love this team and am not any lesser fan than the kansascowboy type just because I say such a thing. I just think that were a team with some holes in it. Yes we are in first place right now and this is our best team since 02 or 03...... But the 02 team would wipe the floor clean with this years team I think. The MW is very down this year. And if we don't turn things around very fast were going from first to third or fourth very soon. Just because I say such a thing doesn't mean I am not rocking a brown and gold polo today and will root like hell for us to find a miracle tonight in SD, because that's what it's going to take.
I agree with some of this. Our good defense has a lot to do wit hour pace and overall we are not as good as the PPG makes it out to be. I still think we are a solid defenisve team. But on the flip side our offense is actually better than you would be lead to beleive by our PPG. We are a pretty good offensively. Oblvious both offense and defense are hurt by not having Nance but I still think we have a better offense than SDSU while they have a better defense(quite a bit better without Nance) so we will see how that plays out tonight. It doesn't look good ofr us tonight but I think we can still get the win(No predicting but beleive we can, otherwise whats the point in watching).calpoke25 said:ragtimejoe1 said:Strange things can happen.

You're not being a downer. You're just wrong. Pointing out all the reasons we suck is both delusional and lame. We're in 1st place in the conference very late in the season. We've been rated with a high offensive efficiency all year. Don't let facts get in the way of your argument that Wyoming never had a chance this year.
It really sucks that we don't have Nance down the final stretch, because unlike most everyone on this board, I believe that if we were healthy, we'd win the conference without a doubt. Of all the contenders, we have BY FAR the easiest remaining schedule. Hell, if we lose tonight but get Nance back and win out after that, I bet we still win the conference.
This team would beat the 02 team 7 times out of 10 on a neutral court because the 02 team is this year's CSU, and Larry Shyatt would coach circles around Steve McClain. Our team now is a lot closer to the 02 Utah squad in style and personnel. I LOVED the 2002 team - it had some of my favorite Cowboys of all time - but the current style is going to win more basketball games in the MWC. The current style is sustainable. Shyatt has proven year after year that his style will win in Wyoming, but every year his team is robbed of its potential by some bullshit.
Anyway, neither Wyoming nor SDSU play a style that will lead to a blowout tonight. We're going to be within striking distance tonight, and I hope that we can get a little lucky, knock down a few shots, and pull out an inspired win tonight. It's far from impossible, despite everyone on this board that simply trembles with fear when the see that we're playing the mighty Aztecs. Don't let the fact that SDSU isn't that great effect your opinion that we'll get blown out.

We just got ear holed by a really poor AF team. Last time I checked SDSU was in first place along with Wyoming. Local line is Pokes +12. I'll take off my brown and gold glasses for this one and say the Cowboys are lucky to cover. Don't get me wrong, I hope they win and make me eat a ton of crow. But without Nance, this team will be lucky to beat anyone down the stretch. Different year, same old results. :twocents:
