Guess how many 3s New Mexico State make today?

[jibsey]

This happens to us. Guy had 37 and goes 2-6 from 3 scores 12 points. Didn’t see the game. Didn’t see the game but he went 5-16 in the game. Was he denied the ball?

 

[Tenspro2002]

A 32% 3-point shooting team goes 11-17 one night (including 7-10 for the supporting cast) and then 6-26 the next.

And you could argue the looks they had tonight were better than the ones they had against us.

Twilight Zone stuff, truly. An absolute fluke performance.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy than Teddy Allen. Try not to strangle any women over an iPhone 7 tonight, bud.

 

[aburks41]

Not to toot my own horn but...I nailed it yesterday lmao. This mofo scored exactly 12 points

and they still somehow made it a close game, which is impressive.

Neither have won anything significant

Oh you know, just a Sweet 16 at Nevada and an Elite 8 and now Sweet 16 at Arkansas…..in 7 total season as being a college head coach.

 

[NJHusky]

I don’t know why all the D1 basketball coaches (ie; experts from their couch) who post here can’t grasp this. We ran into a buzzsaw.. should we have still won; probably.. but it’s not as simple as many make it seems

So not only do we let their main scorer have a monster nite with 37, we also let’s their scrubs shoot 7/11. Yes. Let’s be proud of that. Stop either one and we win. We failed on both ends.

Honestly, it makes it look that much more impressive for us that we were within a possession late while withstanding 65% shooting, while Arkansas barely squeaked by with them shooting under 25%.

Significant are Championships.

[Rocktheworld]

Pretty much. He did play the game of his miserable life.

I’m pissed but had to laugh at this because you have to imagine how many people said this about Bazz

 

[gsmooth]

I disagree. This team is not as good as you think.

I am with you. Saying 98 out of 100 is ridiculous.

Buzz made it a habit.

We also let them shoot 11-11 from the charity stripe. Clearly bad free throw defense. Credit Arkansas tonight for holding NM St to 6-10 from the line.

After we made halftime adjustments, we scored 41 points on 27 possessions = 1.52 points per possession.

Arkansas after halftime (before the :30 left FTs) scored 22 points on 33 possessions = 0.66 points per possession.

(They scored 6 points on their first 20 possessions of the 2nd half).

NMSU drew 5 charges in just the 2nd half tonight.

 

[gsmooth]

We should be going to a sweet 16

Should’ve would’ve could’ve. They had their chance and blew it. It happens.

We put the wrong person at the FT line ... teddy.

 

[gsmooth]

funny how ’bad timing‘ happens all too frequently to this team. maybe there are some other issues?

Seriously yes. Saying it’s bad timing or their players shot better on Thursday and UConn had bad luck in catching them on a day they were hot is so tired and lazy

 

[UConnSwag11]

Just like the, “everything is fine. Look how far we’ve come.”

the issues with Hurley were noticeable last year and early on this year.

 

[VAHuskyFan]

Actually a fair point. Apparently two of NM States misses tonight were by Nate Pryor, a guard who shot 22% from the FT line this season. Which . . . ???

Anyway, Arkansas does deserve credit for fouling him the minute he stepped on the court.

He didn't play a minute vs. us. I'm not sure if Jans benched Rice for a bit or what. He only had 1 foul in 1st half, but Pryor was playing instead of him.

 

[Jaker]

We are just polishing a turd here folks, time to move on and get over it, hope next season is better.

 

[UncleSpliff]

There’s a reason this team was 75+ Kenpom. They’re not that good. They got beat by a team called Sam Houston St by 40 points…. Whoever that is. They just played a 1 in 1000 game which will never happen again. George Mason also shot 50%+ from 3 against us to spring the upset. Sometime these things happen, but as others have insinuated it keeps happening to us under Hurley. It always seems that a team or player has a career night against us. That’s a piss poor trend that needs to be corrected.

BS. I’ve never seen anyone say “everything is fine.” Like legitimately no one.
