Big Games

Postby Nacho » Wed Mar 05, 2003 12:00 pm

Big games tonight:

Fresno at Tulsa. Will Freson come out and play like champs or chumps? My guess: they will come out and give TU everything they've got. TU is hot at home, winning 5 straight. Should be a good one.

Rice at Nevada. Can Rice win a very big game on the road? My guess: probably not.

At least the field will separate out some after tonight. Lots of scenarios still pending.

Fresno has nothing to gain by winning. They are already the regular season champs and a win doesn’t do them any good. There is no tomorrow for Fresno players (post season tourney).

Only if Fresno players feel motivated to play hard will they do anything.

In 1981, the SMU football team was not eligible for post-season play yet the team went out and won the SWC Championship. It is a matter of character. I don’t know the character of the Fresno team.
