New Mexico State alum here…this is my nightmare

[Vuce]

Ask away with any questions you may have. I follow both teams religiously.

What are NM States two or three best wins this year? And maybe their worst loss or two

Best win? Washington St on the road.

Worst loss? To 7-22 Chicago St, but there are other terrible losses...

I’d argue beating Davidson was their best win.

Worst loss? Chicago State but they were without 4 players due to illness and suspension.

They also got smoked by Utah State after beating Davidson. Utah State put on a clinic shooting the 3 ball

Elizabeth Lambert played for New Mexico. Anyone remember her?

Why is a NM St Alum following Uconn????

I missed this post. I was born and raised as a UConn fan. Went to New Mexico State for undergrad so I'm a big fan of both schools

Dude looks like Ted Cruz and his wife is excited to go to New York. Little does she know it's nowhere near NYC.

Last thing I will post before putting my kids to sleep (time change is a bitch). I was at the NMSU/Alabama football game a few years ago and I ran into Chris Jans at the tailgate. I was in his ear about getting a game with UConn on the schedule. He couldn't have said better things about the program and Hurley. He told me at that time that Hurley was the right guy for the program and he would bring UConn back to being a perennial Top 10 program.

Why do they wanna play us over Houston? Do they think they can handle Sa ogo and not Josh??

 

[F101Voodoo]

How badly will we beat them?

Positive thinking and supporting our team is great but never underestimate your opponent.

 

[AdamaNation]

So which player will have the obligatory career game against us?

The one armed walkon grad student. As usual.

Probably because Hous made a final four run last year.

cheez it, it's the cops!
just checked their board - looks like they're on to you.
no worries, we got ur back. lol. we even kept the barco next to the fireplace empty for ya, and macanudos in the humidor. we're a classy lot and loaded with the good stuff - ct za. accept no substitutes.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Well that was interesting. He doesnt look thrilled or maybe he thought theyd be seeded higher?

 

[MexicoHusky]

lol pretty sure NM State is in Las Cruces. UNM is the one in Albuquerque.

And Mt Rushmore is in SD. Not ND. Big deal.
Just saying I've been to New Mexico. Surprisingly good time considering I was broken down.

Albuquerque isn’t the most friendly of places to visit.

Las Cruces is a beautiful city, grown exponentially over the past couple of years. Great weather, golf, near white sands, and the sunsets are special. More than anything though, I miss the Mexican food the most.

To heck with the wings. Where's the best Beef on Weck ?

 

[connVA]

They run Jabari Rice at point guard who is 6’5” but really should be playing SG but he’s a very good defender

Uh-oh- getting Darryl Morsell flashbacks LOL

Oh, I know that guy- Gollum Quasimodo. Heard about the time he scored a point last season. Should be going off for about 28 and fouling out both Cole and AJ...LOL

 

[Huskyforlife]

6’5 pg matchup for Cole on defense has me worried. Good thing he can’t pass very well.

 

[dtrumpet]

Is it true that we should take a left at Albuquerque

Nearly spit the coffee all over the computer thanks to this!

 

[UConnKev]

 

[Tenspro2002]

I'm actually not sure I agree with that.

We're the best offensive rebounding team in the country, but our defensive rebounding is merely good, not elite.

It's true that their strength on offense is scoring inside, which is going to be tough sledding for them against our shot blockers.

 

[HCCForever]

I don’t think we matchup terribly with Gonzaga either

Bilas seems to agree with this assessment as well. He thought that Gonzaga will have tough time if they meet but picked Gonzaga. But first things first.
