BSU's strategy of seldom doubling Queta paid off yet again...despite him dominating again. On to SDSU for us...that series may be even more epic than BSU vs. USU was. Queta should be the MW POTW despite going 0-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupslam1 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Wow, what a two game series. Both games were fiercely competitive. USU is as tough a team as there is in the MWC. It took everything we had to beat them twice. Armus came up huge in the last few minutes. Anyone that says Queta isn’t an NBA player doesn’t know basketball. Not only a good player, but he’s one helluva competitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not want to see USU in the tournament either I don't think anyone in the top-4 wants to see another top-4 team in the tourney...and you can probably throw Nevada into that group too.

soupslam1 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 These two games are exactly what we needed heading into the games against SDSU. You know they are going to be as hotly contested as these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupslam1 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 We made 17-23 in the second half and we needed every one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not want to see USU in the tournament either Should have been more clear - on to the MWC tournament for USU. Our at large hopes are gone. I don't want to see Boise, CSU, or SDSU lol. May not want to see UNR either depending on how next week goes. I knew Alston was going to be a matchup problem going in, but he destroyed us.

Broncos4life Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 That felt like a split series. BSU was fortunate to get both. While there are more important players on BSU, Rice, Shaver and Dennis seem to be the difference in close games. When they are good, BSU wins. When they aren’t, we don’t. Dare I say BSU seems to be clicking at the right time? Need one of the final two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took their best shot and made the big plays when it counted. We’re peaking at the right time. The two games with the Aztecs will be wars. To be the big dog you have to beat the big dog. After all these years in the MWC we finally have the talent and athletes to match theirs. Our guys need to embrace the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSUTOP25 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 It’s an absolute must to split with SUDS. Getting swept pretty much eliminates any chance of an at large bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmartigan Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Fantastic game by Boise. You just have to tip your hat. What did you shoot in the second half? It seemed like Kigab went all Mamba and Armus went nuts as well. Stings to lose that one, but Boise made the plays. USU really really misses Worster. There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupslam1 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Utah State missed Worster if nothing else he would have provided more depth. Plus, he’s their starting PG as a freshman. Tough to lose a starter on any team. Miller was a non factor because we defended him well for the most part and he can’t create his own shot. Whomever thought he could defend Alston was out of their mind. The USU team is Queta. Without him the Aggies are a very mediocre team. The Broncos proved it by letting Queta get his points and shut down the others. He had 40% of the Aggies points both nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
