jdw Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Couple of good games, couple meh today. THE GOOD UNM vs Iona, The Pit, 4:30 Mountain, FoxSports 1 Father-son, Jedi-Padawan, Sensei-student, call it what you will, this is going to be fun. Both Rick and Richard Pitino have been pumping this one up for a while. Even DickieV talked about it during the Kansas game yesterday. Richard Pitino (the Younger), didn't think his Lobos would be this far ahead of schedule right now, but took the home and home this summer to create excitement around the program. He's succeeded. Nearly full house expected and the faithful are pumped. Also, however, nervous. The win in Moraga vs. St.Mary's demonstrates the Bo's have game, but Iona offers a challenge they haven't seen thus far. On paper UNM has a bit more talent, but it isn't a vast gap. Both teams like to go fast, Vegas has the Over at 150. The challenge for New Mexico is that Iona will press relentlessly, testing the backcourt. Actually a great gam for UNM as a prep for conference, especially against UNLV. You have a chance, watch this one. Colorado State vs St.Mary's, Moraga, CA, 6:00 Mountain WCC Network I'll leave it to Swoll to break this one down if he cares to. It could be good, it could be really bad. Which Ram team shows up? Slow start due to injuries, but The Superior Lifestyle has some game. The Meh Oakland visiting Boise State, 2:00 Mountain. MWC Network Do I really need to say anything about this one? Vegas has Boise by 20. That's a lot of points. Broncs are that good. Tarleton State at the United States Air Force Academy, 1:30 Mountain, MWC Network Yes, I like to type "United States Air Force Academy". Don't know why, but if Tarleton holds a lead longer than that title I'll be dissapointed. Don't choke Zoomies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rowsup Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Looking forward to new Mexico Iona. Have not watched UNM yet this year. Let's see if all the hype is deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headbutt Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Tavi Jackson out for CSU (foot), and Jaylen Lake a gametime decision (shoulder). RAMS are already struggling to find chemistry and rely heavily on those two. I think beating St. Mary's was going to be unlikely with a healthy roster, not much chance without one IMO.

Two good things about these last few cupcake games were that they didn't hurt us in the major metrics (other than our overall SoS) and bench players were able to get extended PT and gain confidence.

MWC rallies from a horrible 0-4 Saturday for a 4-0 Sunday. Only bad thing about UNM and CSU both beating St. Mary's on the road is that it takes a little shine off both those wins...although should still be Q1 road wins at the end of the year.

Both will certainly be Quad 1’s by seasons end. In CSU’s case, they’re probably already behind the 8 ball. UNM is in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdw Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 Only thing between UNM and an undefeated OOC is Prairie View (Tue. at the Pit). Did I mention it really sucks to be Prairie View right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He found a zone there for a while and showed why he gets the accolades. Put the team on his shoulders and kept us alive. Swoll, how about Kyle Evans development from his first game through tonight? There's some future there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobonado Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 College basketball is crazy. A few weeks ago CSU lost at home to No. Colorado and today they go on the road and beat St. Mary's. I guess that's why they play the games. CSU visits the Pit on Dec. 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
