What the f..k are you doing with the money? You're not educating your kids or buying real houses? What's going on over there? But skip, pjamj (whatever that means) based his posts on facts, not useless conjecture like census data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobogabe Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Great Videos PNWlobo, Be afraid of the Mighty Pit, this is one of the best in college basketball. So excited for this game, it's going to be a sold out crowd to welcome back Coach Majerus and the bills. That's what a REAL arena looks like!

ACE Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Some of these Lobo yahoos are starting to make basketballcountry look like a rocket scientist. When it is all said and done they may prove to be worse than Methdale trolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 As I stated in the opening post, this will be a close game. They have the Pit, we have the better team. Those 2 things pretty much cancel each other out. So it will come down to whichever team or players get hot. As we have had a relatively easy schedule, I don't think the numbers show our true potential...ie when we have played tough teams(Okla, Nova, & Wash) we have blown them out even though the games were showing close in the predictions. Also, I think RM coaching and familarity with the Pit takes away some of the arena's edge. The Pit's advantage is fixed...the Bill's advantage has some upside...that is unless the Pit can shoot 3's or make free throws. Btw...UNM is similar to Okla in my rankings and we handled them pretty well with a 20 pt win on a neutral court. The same neutral court that UNM lost to below average, D+ rated Santa Clara. And before Lobos fans come on here whining that we are playing them in the Pit....if we play them like we did Okla then take 4 off the 20 we beat Okla by and you have a Bills win by 16. Based on what I have seen on this thread, I see nothing "enchanting" about UNM fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what I have seen on this thread, I see nothing "enchanting" about UNM fans. This is a completely different Lobo team then the one that was in the CA tourney. The two early losses were leveraged by the coaching staff into a very intense learning and maturing experience over the past 4 weeks. The difference should be quite noticeable tomorrow. Both of these teams play aggressive and intense defense as a reflection of their coaches. The Lobos want an increased tempo the Billikins want a much more controlled tempo......we'll see who imposes their will, probably neither for any extended period of time.

I'm willing to grant that the NM team that takes the court tomorrow has matured since the early losses but I think you should go back and look at the tape of the SLU v. Washington game. If your success depends on speeding up the game, then we will win despite the pit. Our guards handle pressure very well. We run a disciplined offense and defend the 3 well. To win, you have to beat us with a half-court offense. Game planning to run on us plays into our strengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see what Rick does tomorrow. I really think he's going to want to shorten the game, limit the possessions and quiet the crowd, but only Rick knows for sure. I remember when he played a box and one against a very talented AZ team and just destroyed them in the tourney. I don't think he showed that defense all year until he sprang it on Lute Olsen. On the other hand, Steve Alford's no x's & o's slouch either. One of them will impose their will on the game. I do know one thing, tomorrow will be a lot of fun!

AMDG Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I have not read the entire thread but I think its worth mentioning that Albuquerque is over 5300 ft above sea level. the bench is going to have to play huge to counter altitude-related fatique that will come into play.

TheA_Bomb Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I've been to New Mexico a few times. It's a great place to shoot rockets. Here's a pic from my trip there last month from the range tower we used to observe the gun trucks. You can see the target silhouettes way out there. Tomorrow the Billikens will be dropping the Bombs. We have this one guy playing forward that will remind you of a former Lobo, Urlacher. He looks a bit wolfish with his unkempt hair and beard but he's all Billiken. Look for him to drop one our two of your guys on a screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
