3 horrible possessions in a row. even their announcers agree with us.

please, no OT. i can't stomach it

Need a score and a stop and we might be able to pull this out.

60-57 us, our ball with 4:00 to go.

what can they discuss on the elbow into Omer's face? that was blatent. we're obviously not getting the flagrent 1 on them, and got a foul for a face to the elbow.

I hate when we go 5-out and milk the clock with 5 minutes to go. never get a good shot.

to make things more interesting....i was checking my flights to Vegas for next Wednesday. It is 8:40....PM!!!!!

thankfully i was able to switch to the day at minimal cost of miles!

losing my brain.

got to make the FT's! 48-46 with 11:30 to go after Chappell's first 3!

starting the 2nd half much like the first half.....39-34 with 16 to go. 3 FT's in 4 minutes.

Daugherty and Chappell a blistering 1-13, 1-9 from 3.

I see Bob Biggs (who never ages) and Tony Franks.

considering we are down 3 of our top 6 players, maybe its as good as we could expect? we have 5 guys with 2 fouls so i expect they will keep pushing inside. we can't afford any cheap fouls.

I'm hoping we see more Omer (assuming his ankle is 100%). He was about the only one on offense with any confidence.

why do we come out with 50 seconds left on offense with Rowlins and Franklin on the floor and Wilson sitting? Mind boggling. I can see sitting WIlson on defense (2 fouls) but offense?


lucked out on the goal-tend after a horrible last possession for the beach....34-31 at the half.

we can't possibly play worse; not sure they can play any better.

nobody looks like they want to take a shot from outside the paint. i don't think ESPN has this in mind when they moved us to the ESPN2 game on Saturday!

this is hard to watch. if the beach were just below-average, we would be down 20 by now.

down 25-17 with 8 to go, and its not looking good. 2-11 from 3, and getting beat up on the boards. recipe for disaster (and 8 seed).

At least the announcers are decent.

thankfully Omer is playing; he's keeping us in the game. didn't recognize Chappell at first with the new do. Sevilla has been battling leg injuries all year. Maybe we are playing it safe since there's not much gain with wins this week.

my biggest concern about MW, and this is selfish of me, is game times. I think the 6:00 tipoffs might be a thing of the past - same for Thursday night. MWC seems to play lots of M, Tu 7:00 or 7:30 tipoffs for TV - that’s gonna be a pain coming and going for me. Same with the Saturday matinees - I think those will be night games.

Of course, I might be in the minority of fans who like the current home format.

I remember about 3 years ago, i was part of a BigWest 'study' where they had fans/administrators/press sit in a zoom discussion (there were several of these, each with about 15 participants). It was mostly about branding, marketing, what the BigWest brought to the schools, etc. Bako was new to the BigWest and they were just bubbly about joining and what it would do for their 'brand' moving forward. Reality hasn't quite met those expectations.

We are only 1.5 point favorites - I hope that’s not an indication about our health going into tonight. If we are down 3 guys (Cooper, Stokes and Omer), we’re not going to be on a roll heading to Henderson.

the odds sites are really 'interesting'. several seem to have us as something like 53-55% chance of winning, but something called SportsGrid has a model with us as 79% chance of winning by 13!
