Game Thread: #2 Utah State vs #7 New Mexico

[Lester_in_reno]

Lobo athleticism finally woke up. Sam Merrill  really pissed as he's getting no fouls in the paint. UNM covered the 1st half (+6.5) needless to say! Go Lobos!

After the first ten minutes, I was not expecting much. Glad Lobos tied it half with basically only Lyle with a good half. Hoping Vance and a few others get in a groove to sink some open shots. 
 

queta could gave been called for a few more IMO, but we all see things in a biased way. 
 

Merrill attempting to impersonate a few Lobos tonight with the pouting toward the refs lol.

This USU team looks like a CBI bound team if that.  Not impressed.

[madmartigan]

Very inconsistent reffing. Do they want to call it close OR let them play? Hand checks being called in the second half. 

[cherrycrush]

Lobos taking over like you thought they would. USU wetting the bed on its whole season 

[B_Lootz]

USU in meltdown mode... for a veteran squad they exhibit a severe lack of composure.

No Merrill, no bueno.

That's a wrap. Merrill with 4 fouls in the first 6 minutes of the second half and Porter is MIA. Without those two to bring the ball up against the press we're done.

Aggies teetering on the edge of oblivion.

Not to mention a lack of athleticism. They simply can’t keep up with UNM

[LoboMan59]

Dont count them out just yet. Lobos have proved to be able to shet the bed themselves in tight games.

I'm a nervous wreck  right now!

NIT bound

Does Utah State have any legitimate ball handlers coming in next season? And if Queta doesn’t come back, who the heck will Be a primary scorer.

[soupslam1]

Aggie fans lamenting why they didn’t recruit a PG. Smiths biggest failure. 

[LoboMan59]

We need Vance to wake up!

Don’t be. 

[lobo81]

Lobos need to drive it. Queta has 3 fouls and are in the bonus. Dont settle for outside shots because the Lobos arent a good shooting team. 

[soupslam1]

Did the announcer say Miller is a three point specialist? 

[soupslam1]

The Lobos are USUs worst nightmare.

It would be nice to play Wyoming after this and get Boise in the final.  One can hope. It’s March.
