Overtime loss at their place? With their only loss being against the same Green Bay team that just beat ranked Miami? In green and Vincent's 2nd game, when our team misses a bunch of open threes? I don't think there is much to be ashamed of there... I think that game and the kansas game are both available on espn3 if you want to watch and see if our atrocious three point shooting was great D or bad shooting.

This one is going to be tough.

All of the people who get there around halftime will be in for an entertaining second half!

Do not get defensive Gaucho. No need. We are just trying to get information.

No worries, the honest truth is, it's too early to tell how good this Gaucho team is.

We've only lost pretty explainable/expected losses, but we've destroyed almost all the other opponent's... We are definitely Al focused... In any major program, he gets serious POY consideration... He's the real deAl and arizona/az state blew it by passing him over because his height... We've been excited to have him for awhile (wish the staff would have scheduled stronger last year). He deserves every bit of attention he gets this year. We finally have the supporting cast he needs to succeed. It's been missed primarily due to the injury troubles of john green, but gave Vincent and Dejuan smith beat the loss of Boswell and brown from last year's squad.

Besides playing too much zone, and Nic being a 2nd half stud, what can the Gauchos expect?

Too much zone? I hope that is a joke hah.

I would expect Yanick on big Al with help def. Why help def? Bc we help to a fault. Our weakness so far has been the in and out game or just general 3pt game.

Yanick held Lance Jr. (14 pt per game over last 2 yrs) to 4. However he can be a cupcake on offensive end when he isnt "mean".

What is Big Al's weight?

Nobody here will judge 6'8. Our best player who is ineligible 1 more game is 6'9...

He is listed as 265 on their roster. He is a load.

The way my wife is spending money and children and grandchildren picking my pockets, it has gone from 6 months to 1 1/2 years and may climb some more. Now with the repricing I will most likely just drop my cheap tickets and hope I can buy my way back in when I get there. I do hope to make some of the conference games this year but the days on which they are playing are not cooperating with me.

I guess no hurry to bolt from Arky. It's a nice state. You should just go in with someone next year. 18 games can be a bit much for even the most dedicated.

They seem cocky. Not sure they watched us defend against Wyoming. That's our game when we execute it like the 2nd half.
