SMC Tonight . . . Count it as a win!
Rewatched the previous SMC v BYU game last night and really do not see how we can play much worse and yet we still were in that game till the end. We will do better in several areas tonight compared to our previous meeting:
1) Guarding Waldo - He had his way with our bigs. Doubt he could do any better than last game. Hopefully our big guys have learned a move or two since then
2) Dumb, unforced errors. last game we had several uncharacteristic unforced turnovers. This will not happen at home.
3) Home court. We get a lift from the home crowd and SMC will falter a little from the crowd.
4) Anson Winder - hopefully he plays significant minutes - we missed his ability to drive to the basket.
5) Collinsworth - No stupid fouls to keep him off the floor this time around.
Really missed an opportunity last time we played these guys. Maybe too little too late, but I see a win tonight.

I expect that Winder will not play. If true, it will hurt our chances. Why can't we get our kids healthy?

It is time for good games from Haws and Collinsworth. We need one of Fischer or Halford so shoot the ball well. And Kaufusi needs to stay on the floor.

Winder not playing throws a wrinkle into things.
That said. It was a close game without him at SMC; so, I think we have the Gaels tonight.

If Winder doesn't play we will struggle a little to win, more of a toss up game, but I think our guys pull off the victory still.

Nixon was a disaster against SMC.

This is what happens when Anson Winder doesn't play! Oh wait, I guess that's not true, what a phenomenal effort by the players to come together.

Tonight is what happens when Kyle Collinsworth comes out aggressive looking to score and dominate. The guy is our only legit NBA talent and needs to take over this team.
