This is one our guys have to win. Will be interesting to see how well Boise competes at Oregon

I remember there actually was a Mountain West TV network. I remember going to 1st and 10 to watch a TCU game several years ago when TCU was in the Mountain. Looking online, however, it looks like the actual network shut down in 2012 so this is actually going to just be an internet stream. I couldn't find any sign up or price info, so looks like it may be free, who knows. Hopefully, the quality is decent like ESPN3.

I was hoping it would slide in under my 7 day Sling trial. I guess not.

I think Boise State is playing Oregon tonight.

Boise played Oregon tough...at Oregon. Hope the Ducks aren't really the # 13 team in the country but any way you cut it, this will be a challenge for our guys

As of Tuesday:

SMU is projected to win 70-67 (63% Win Probability)

When SMU has the ball:
SMU Off: Scoring 111.1 pts. / 100 possessions (#32)
BOISE STATE Def: Giving up 99.7 pts. / 100 possessions (#104)

When BOISE STATE has the Ball
BOISE STATE Off: Scoring 103.5 pts. / 100 possessions (#132)
SMU Def: Giving up 96.1 pts. / 100 possessions (#55)

Boise is shooting 32% from 3, so they vastly outperformed vs. Oregon (11-28, 39%).

Paris Austin played 40 minutes, Nick Duncan played 38 minutes, Justinian Jessup played 33 minutes, and Chandler Hutchison played 32 minutes. May be some tired legs on Wednesday night. Sadly, SMU is one of the slowest teams in the nation (# of possessions / tempo), hopefully we can push the pace and wear these guys out.

Their best player, Dillon Brooks, has only played 2 games this season and has been downright bad.

I wish we would push the pace and use the entire roster...especially in these non-conference games, but road game at Boise is not the place/team to experiment against. Meanwhile, I see that Austin, Duncan & Jessup all hit 40% of their three pointers. Will need to play good perimeter D
