  1. And where did you have Cincinnati ranked? Fact is that this is practically the same unm team that was a kenpom top 25 team last year iirc. Maybe it's too early for your little model to have any predictive value.
  2. Your guards are very good, but better than UNM's? I really don't think so. I've seen both teams play this year and I expect a good hard fought game but really New Mexico does have the better guards. And better post. That said, it's extremely hard to win on the road in college basketball. Good luck Billikens (whatever that is)...
  3. Sounds like -4 should be easy money for someone.
  4. Keep it up and your team may well be in the same league as the UNMs of the basketball world. You've got a long way to go though.
  5. I don't get it. Perhaps the crowd affected some calls but I didn't see it. I mean, what are SLU fans complaining about? You just aren't going to draw fouls (although you did get one) by shooting 3 pointers. We drew fouls by driving and we gt called for several charging violations, many of them could have been called on SLU.
  6. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't unless the neutral fan knew nothing about basketball. UNM usually takes many more 3 point attempts but the SLU defense was overplaying so aggressively (it really was their only chance) that UNM did what good teams do: we adjusted. Our guards started slashing and your guards had no answer so they fouled. Maybe coach Alford taught the old dog a few new tricks last night.
  7. It's just amazing that you are are still blaming the refs. There were bad calls for and against both teams!! What about that blocked 3 pointer with 7 seconds left??? The refs actually TRIED to let you guys win that game. The fact of the matter is that your team stood around the arc and heaved up bricks while our guards drove to the hole and forced the refs to make a call. Many times it was a charge. But you can't just look at the FT disparity and assume that the refs were jobbing you. Seriously, you guys would make great byu fans.
  8. The Lobos can only dream of such a cupcake post season game
  9. From http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/billikens-fight-tough-new-mexico-team-to-buzzer-but-lose/article_7bcc1cdb-a69b-56d1-a894-814683c992c5.html With 1:40 to play, New Mexico got the stop when Ellis didn't put enough on a pass to Cassity and Kendall Williams stole the ball and laid it in to put New Mexico up 60-55. Ellis answered with a 3 that made it 60-58, and Conklin then drew a charge that gave SLU a chance to tie the game with less than a minute to play. But after working the ball around, Jett drove the baseline and was called for a charge with 53 seconds left, and that chance was lost. Williams made one of two free throws with 34.5 seconds left, giving SLU one more chance to tie, but Ellis' next 3 missed. Williams kept SLU's hopes alive by making just one of two free throws with 14.6 seconds left, and Ellis was fouled trying a 3 with 7.4 seconds left. Ellis made the first two but missed the third — Read more: http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/billikens-fight-tough-new-mexico-team-to-buzzer-but-lose/article_7bcc1cdb-a69b-56d1-a894-814683c992c5.html#ixzz1iCL399B1 A couple of points: 1: Kendall didn't just lay it up but threw down a Pit igniting dunk. 2: That charge that Conklin drew was weak and 3: Gordons foul on Ellis's 3 was most bogus. The refs gave you every chance to pull that game out!!!
  10. We can only wish we get such a weak team in March
  11. From LoboMike: I think you have to forgive their fans some. They are just not used to big games or big time atmospheres. They haven't been to the big dance in twelve years and this is the Fat Man's fifth year there and the first real good team he's had. This is all new territory for them and they don't know how to react when things don't go their way. They're like children who aren't used to success or the failure that can sometimes go with that when you are trying to move up the ladder. Consider that UNM fans have packed the Pit for an eternity, we've been in wars for conference championships in front of 22,000 in Provo, huge games in places like the Thomas and Mack and Viejas in recent years, and it's just a different level that Lobo fans are at. We know big time basketball and big time battles. SLU folks don't. They got a lesson in it on Saturday, but they don't know how to take it yet. Their first stage was denial. Let's see if they progress. Word!
  12. You over-achieved on defense, got some BS offensive fouls called on UNM and still lost. I hope you are really better than this.
  13. That all you got? No refs screwed us whine? Do you not live in the greater st louis area?
  14. I find t funny that you think the AC-10 is remotely comparable to the MWC. Is there some kind of systemic irrationality problem in the st louis area?
