Col St., SDSU, New Mex., and Nevada go to BSU first before Boise travels to any of those places to play. That is pretty favorable IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 minutes from one of the soon to be ineligibles. And did you know that the Magnificent Seven played the entire 2nd half and outscored Air Force 50-21 in the first 15+ minutes?

A total combined 19 minutes between the three in the game before that against SJSU, the bulk of which went to Butler. Total of four points between the three of them. The difference in the game was 5 points. It looks like Larry is using this "grace period" to wean the team off of relying on those three. I think he should have gone cold turkey, but he didn't break any rules and seems to feel like he's doing what's best for all 10 of the players whether I agree with it or not. This shortage will hurt us, but no way do we finish last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpotato Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 i think a lot of people are discounting Colorado State in these rank-ems. They have two of the better OOC wins in Colorado and NMSU, and are very close to being the only 4-0 team in the conference. While it is deplorable what they are doing with their ineligibles, they are playing pretty good basketball and will have a solid 7 man rotation... which is as many as UNR plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say where CSU will finish but I dont think it'll be at the bottom. Does it surprise you that it was a SJSU fan that had CSU at the bottom given their "rich" basketball history?

Just based on results, I think the Rams have the strongest argument for the 3rd spot. They have the best wins and are the best on the road outside of the top 2.

Not only did you leave SJSU off your first four games, but the conference record of UNRs first four games are 5-10. The conference record Boise's are 7-9. That's 4-7 and 7-5 if you take the games against Boise and UNR. Looks like UNR is the one with the cake schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanforHeisman Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Fresno and CSU are the big question marks for me. Could beat anyone or lose to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure CSU has shown they could lose to anyone. They lost a couple they probably should have won, but they aren't horrible losses. Fresno has some horrible losses. The dogs will be tough at home, but they aren't consistent enough to win the conference. If the winner of the conference does end up with 4 or 5 losses, CSU might be able to do that. Depth is an issue, but that's an issue with UNR too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
