The Wiz Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 SC is not as good as Upstate. I had Upstate rated as C+ (slightly above average). SC is a C- (slightly below average). So we should be able to handle them readily as long as we take care of business. This game will conclude our warmup period. Things will ramp up substantially with TAMU.....a winnable game yet very difficult. We need to use the SC game as a tuneup for the KC tournament....ie leave our starters in a little longer and make sure we finish this game as opposed to letting SC back in once we have a lead. We need to win by at least 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Really? 18? I would nothave thought us that high. Of course, it is a year unlike any other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyJumpUp Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Really? 18? I would nothave thought us that high. Of course, it is a year unlike any other. I figured it would actually be over 20. We should dominate both gimme games before going to Kansas City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Really? 18? I would nothave thought us that high. Of course, it is a year unlike any other. Well if we were favored by 12 against Upstate which was a C+ team, it should not be that surprising to be favored by 18 against a C- team. If we play SC like we did Upstate a team we beat by 17, we will win by more than 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play SC like we did Upstate a team we beat by 17, we will win by more than 20. Few more of those 3's drop and we would have won by 25+. I smell a beatdown.

wgstl Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 after reading some stuff about SC season last year, they only lost to NM by 3 in OT and beat nova. They return most of the key scores. and are from what it seems to be a small scoring team, best scorers come in around 6 foot - 6'5. And a 6'8. Jett will have a field day.

jjray Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Steve Nash is an SC alum. The memory of Steve Nash two decades later counts for 5 points. Bills by 15. Getting Cory back helps the good guys though. One would think Carter gets better by the day. I'm expected us to play better than the Upstate game. We need incremental progress each game. Beast mode in conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsgo Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 They have some dude named Roquemore who's pretty good. He tore up New Mexico in the 76 classic last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 -it was last season but i don't thnk santa clara won a conf game (in the best conf on the west coast) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 -it was last season but i don't thnk santa clara won a conf game (in the best conf on the west coast) Sounds like they had some injury and eligibility issues last year. Rammer says they basically have everyone back from a team that won 20+ games two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
