  1. I can't believe you had 3 guys play all 40 minutes... that's crazy.
  2. Who do you have?? I've got... Clavell Marshall Hutchinson Omogbo Oliver Brown, Clarke, and Caroline all have arguments for the 1st team also. I'd give POY to Oliver, but I'm guessing it will go to Marshall instead.
  3. I actually like CSU's road assuming we don't see SDSU in the semis. I think CSU can beat Wyo and Boise, and hopefully we get a rematch w/ Nevada. I'd love to see that game on a neutral court. That place was a madhouse last night and it really impacted the game.
  4. Gian has been amazing to watch. He's really turned into a great leader for this team and he's going to be sorely missed next year. Omogbo unfortunately picked up two ticky tack fouls early and sat nearly the last 10 minutes of the first half. He looked tentative in the second half too. CSU's lack of front court depth really showed last night.
  5. Congrats UNR! You were the better team tonight and deserve the title. CSU gave their best effort tonight... Enjoy the night to the evening to the max... we'll see you again!
  6. Props to UNR for finishing the the regular season. I'm not totally disappointed in the outcome though. CSU was playing w/ house money tonight. I suspect we'll see each other again in Vegas and there will be a neutral whistle. I will say, though, Cameron Oliver is a beast. We had no answer for him tonight and if he won CPOY, I wouldn't have any argument against it. Kid is a stud.
  7. I'll take csu +6.5 all day long!
  8. I'm stoked for tomorrow's matchup... in my totally uneducated, inexpert opinion, I think its going to be a great matchup. First, everyone makes a big deal of CSU's 7 player rotation, meanwhile, UNR basically plays a 6 man rotation w/ token appearances from a few others. That being said, if you look at the individual matchups, I'd break them down as follows: Drew v. Nixon - Drew has height advantage, Nixon is better scorer - Advantage - Tie Fenner v Paige - Fenner is better scorer, Paige is better defender - Advantage - Tie Marshall v. Clavell - Two MWC POY candidates going at it will be funnest match up to watch. Marshall has had two turd games (@USU & @SDSU) and can't afford another one Saturday. Clavell is one of CSU's best defenders. I think this matchup determines the outcome Saturday night - Advantage - CSU (bias fully admitted) Caroline v. Omogbo - repeat from above, two legit MWC POY candidates going at each other. Omogbo set MWC record for most double/doubles in a season. Caroline is a stud scorer and rebounder. I gave the edge above to Clavell and I'll give the edge here to Caroline just to balance the score - Advantage - Nevada Oliver v. Carvacho - for CSU, this is the 2nd biggest individual match up of the night. If Carvacho can at least contain Oliver, which is not out of the realm of possibility, CSU is in great shape. Oliver has the bigger name and bigger resume, so I'll give this match up to Nevada, although I think Carvacho will ultimately hold his own based on his length and skill - Advantage - Nevada Bench - Interestingly enough, Nevada is the one team CSU might have a bench advantage over. Koelliker and Bonner have both been very good in limited time. Nevada's primary players off the bench appear to be King and Hall and both appear to be inconsistent at best - Advantage - CSU I really think both teams match up very well against each other and it should be one hell of a ball game. I really see this thing coming down to a last second shot and hopefully CSU has one more rabbit in the hat!
  9. Good to see the meth and Crack heads taking interest in Reno bball! They should see a great Rammie W!!
  10. You should be able to download the WatchESPN app and plug in your DirecTV log in info and be good to go.
  11. I tend to agree. Not sure CSU has enough to pull another rabbit out, but they've proven everyone wrong all season so I won't say it can't happen. Should be a fun preview for Vegas either way. I also second the star healthy comment. It amazing how many late season injuries we've seen and that's something this squad just can't afford.
  12. I agree with this and thus the reason the Aztecs are the one team I believe CSU should fear the most in the tourney.
  13. I wouldn't hate a rematch w/ Wyo. The only team I don't want to see in Vegas is SDSU.
  14. I think Clavell's defense is what really makes this kid special. Its amazing to watch him follow his guy off the ball.
  15. LOL... someone is crusty this morning..
  16. Maybe so... but buyer beware.. sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. We can agree on the Magnificent 7 though... really stoked to see how this team finishes the season! What an incredible ride so far!!
  17. I know you've been banging this drum for a while and you might be right. I for one hope you aren't. From an outsider's perspective, it really looks like Larry has made noticeable changes and I commend him for that. CSU could do a lot worse that riding out the next 4 years w/ him.
  18. The magic carpet ride continues!! On to reno baby!!
  19. CSU needs to worry about Wyo Tuesday night first.
  20. clearly, nobody thought this game had an opportunity to determine the conference championship, which is why its on ESPN3.
  21. if it is the game to decide the championship, it could also be the game that decides the POY. I'd love to see Clavell have a winner take all opportunity!
  22. Looks like the magic carpet ride continues for this scrappy bunch. What a night, what a game, and what a shot! Couldn't be happier for this team and especially Omogbo, who's one of the humblest kids you'll ever meet. As for SDSU, last night is nothing to hang your heads about. That defensive effort was first class and the Aztecs are the one team I do not want to see in the tourney. Csu doesn't have any lives left to spare against you guys.
  23. I believe the men have only lost one orange out game and that was last year to Wyo.
  24. Does the CSU magic continue tonight?? I'm guessing it does. This team is on a roll!
