Nevada Convert Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 This is probably the biggest game of the regular season. Beating a ranked team is just what Muss and the team need to stay in the top #3 to #8 and hopefully a #1 seed in the tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are right, seems like a lot of points against a top 20 team, I'm just hoping for a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oddsmakers might have ASU ranked similarly to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sputnik46 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The MWC has been abysmal in OOC. We need this one badly to carry the flag for the conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueAg Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I watched the USU vs ASU game in person (87-82 win for ASU) at T-Mobile Arena. The main goal for the Pack has to be to stop Dort. The guy is an NBA player already and is a handful to deal with all over the court. He's quick, he's strong with the ball, and he can hang and draw contact at will. It's almost as if he dares the refs not to blow the whistle with how violent he drives to the hoop. Sometimes the best defense against him was for the defender to look like they were going to body him up and then do a little matador action and watch him go out of control and miss the shot because he was expecting contact. You can expect to see Remy Martin play PG pretty erratic and sometimes chippy but he makes things go for them when he's out there. They don't have a lot of great shooters but Cherry and Lawrence can get hot from 3PT. We all know about Zylan Cheatham in the MWC of course but he didn't have much impact on our game. He seemed like he was more of a glue guy that was used to get rebounds and facilitate ball movement on the offensive end. I think the line seems about right for Nevada. They will have to play well, but not perfect, to beat the SunDevils. EDIT: Oh, and be ready to want to punch Bobby Hurley in the face all over again. The dude is non-stop whining and sideline antics.

No doubt because that also includes the MWC tourney which can be a bit squirrelly. I still can’t believe this. If on the day Carter was fired, God told us that in 3.5 years we’d have a team that started the season as high as #5 with a shot at a 1 seed and a reasonable shot at a Final 4 and a real actual chance at the title game and get lucky and win it all??????? WE WOULD BE: 1. Shitting our pants in disbelief 2. Praising Jesus that Groth was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
