MWC > Big East

[MellowYellow]

The preseason number 4 team in the MWC just beat the preseason number 1 and 3 teams in consecutive games.

Go Aztecs!

Great assessment.

I guess we can also conclude that the Big East is better than the Big 12 since Nova beat Kansas, and The Big 12 is better than the ACC, since Kansas beat Duke.

Pac-12 > ACC and MWC since we beat Duke and SDSU. As soon as we beat Michigan it will be Pac-12 > Big 10.

Joking aside the Pac-12 could and should be one of the 3 strongest conferences this season.

I'd whip the snot right out of Ali. I'm a bad ass.

I'd say that's reasonable.

jonvi, better make sure Mikey doesn't see that. He'll lose his shit.

Poor Mikey....that guy wears his drawers high and tight.

LOL

Just having fun with some early season trash-talking. I do think SDSU is not going to finish fourth in the MWC with the way UNLV is being coached down by Rice.

All jokes aside, I do think SDSU earned a ranking and U of A is the second best team in the nation right now. That loss to them will cost us a number one seed in the west if we win the MWC.

That's the spirit!

No MWC team is getting a #1 seed in the West. Ever.

As trolly mentioned. Then the same can be said for the Nova win. Big East is third in computer numbers right now.

I'm not one too usually bitch(especially since we played bad anyways) but the refs were absolutely atrocious in that MU/SDSU game. The crowd was obviously pro SDSU being right in Cali and the announcers who didn't hide the team they wanted(SDSU) even on 5 different occasions called out awful calls against MU.

For as ticky tack as that game was...Sampson or whatever the hell his name was sure got some superstar treatment. Guy should have fouled out 12 times.

Marquette has their own serious issues offensively that pinning a loss on officiating is wrong at this point.

Just don't throw MW parades because 1 team beat Creighton(also lost to GW) and Marquette(Gardner sick, Mayo hampered, Duane Wilson hurt)....in a virtual home game.

Arizona would have beat SDSU by 25+ had the Aztecs not been in the bonus 3/4 of the second half.

Just like the MWC will never beat the Pac-12 in head-to-head through the course of a season right? hahaha

LMAO...SDSU would have beaten AZ by 9,999,999 + had the Aztecs made their free throws.

I was kidding with my original post. Just wanted to get some basketball discussion going.

As far as officiating...it was terrible on both sides of the ball. Are you talking about Skylar Spencer, the guy who fould out with his feet planted when he got bowled over? That guy who got his fourth foul after the refs gifted MU as possession after a phantom jump ball that ended up in SDSU's hands? Or was it Davis whose back never touched the end line but was called out of bounds?

The announcers sounded like an SDSU radio crew. I'd be pissed if I were an MU fan. However, most times we're on the other end of the stick here. So it was actually nice to have announcers who got the name of our school correct for a change.

Both teams looked ugly on offense because both teams play good defense. That's what happens.

Yeah both do play good D but our offense does just suck. Hard to disagree with a guy like Buzz but having all your best players come off the bench is mind boggling. Worst starters ever.

And yeah I agree calls were horrible both ways with the touch fouls it was just the random fifty fifty calls that were idiotic.

Tie game under 3 left. Shepard tosses up a shot clock prayer...Thomas MAYBE slightly brushed him...not a foul, and even if so...9 lives spencer bumped Thomas anyways. 2 pts. MU possession burton dribbles the ball blatantly off the SDSU guys foot(he fell over for gods sake). SDSU then scores. Basically game.

But those clowns were just clueless, when the game was pretty much over they let Burton shoot a free throw before Fisher even subbed a guy out. What morons.

Either way we came in as the "better" rebounding team and SDSU owned us for key putbacks in a game where pretty much every first shot was missed.

SDSU was definitely underrated though coming into this year. They were picked behind UNLV? Don't know about that one.

That one off the SDSU player's foot? Oh god....that was a terrible call. I'd be pissed as an MU fan. I was telling my buddies we got away with a horrible call there. The weird thing about the refs is they would call those fouls both ways when players barely touched or didn't even touch the other guy and then at times let them hack away. The least they could have done is commit to how you're going to be terrible.

The last time I saw the refs forget to allow a sub on a FT was when I played in the 4th grade Park & Rec league when we had HS kids as refs.

I'm not sure about the refs in the BE, but this is a regular MWC thing minus the FT gaffe.

As for how SDSU was picked...4th....basically BSU and NM as 1 and 1a...UNLV behind them and us. Boise returns all five starters and some bench guys from an NCAA team and they can shoot. NM has a 4 starters back....UNLV has the most talent in the MWC. Rice is thankfully, a shitty coach. However, I hate the fact, UNLV only gets up for SDSU games. They can play like garbage for weeks, look like an NBA team vs. us and then back to garbage.

BTW, why does Buzz have his two top scorers coming off the bench?

 

[MellowYellow]

SDSU also starts two sophs with three freshman in the rotation. So the experts probably saw a young team and held their breath. I don't blame them.

Fun stat
