UCLA going on a run, Gonzaga beating SMC, and us beating Pepperdine on the road are all working in our favor.

Colby Ross averages 20 pts a game. We held him to 8 points tonight. 8! That's some amazing defense. Colby was never able to get it going. Pepperdine went with the same game plan San Diego and Santa Clara went with: try to shut down BYU's three point shooting. That meant going 1:1 against Yoli on def...

SMC escapes.

Big weekend in WCC hoops.

Santa Clara is hanging with SMC. A Santa Clara win would put SMC and Pacific tied for 3rd in the WCC. SMC plays Gonzaga on Sat, which will likely be a loss. If SMC drops these two, we likely play Pacific in the WCC tournament. I'd rather play Pacific. Should SMC and Pacific finish tied for 3rd, I th...

Colby Ross. Slow him down and Pepperdine becomes toothless. On the offensive side of the ball, we just need to keep the ball moving and Pepperdine will be spinning in circles. Pepperdine is in a pickle. If they double Yoli, he passes it out and we find an open shooter on the perimeter which they hav...

I like the potential.

If Pope can do with him what he has done with Colby Lee, then he could turn out pretty good.

At the most, we have 3 games left before March Madness begins. We're being projected as a 6 seed this morning by Lunardi. I like a 6. I'd like a 5 better, but I wonder where we will land. It is most probable that we'll win one game in the WCC and then lose to Gonzaga. Yes, now we know we can beat t...

Harding shortly after got called for a foul on a similar play. It was the game plan to defend the pick and roll. There is an interesting exchange on Twitter between Trent Plaisted and some other former pro. Basically, Trent says what TJ did was at most a common foul, and that what TJ did is pretty ...

What a bunch of whiners: http://guboards.spokesmanreview.com/forumdisplay.php?2-Men-s-Basketball Just read through the posts about last night's game. According to them we are "thugs" and don't know how to play basketball, like basketball is supposed to be played with your pinkies out and c...

BYU wins - Should be a huge boost to the resume. Kansas wins, which should buffer the SDSU loss a little. I also wasn't a fan of Rose leaving. But Pope has made all the right moves so far it seems. He's losing a lot of talent in the next 6 or so weeks. I think Pope realizes this more than anyone, w...
