A (remote) chance for a good win tonight, as #17 San Diego State visits Maples.  Game at 6pm on P-12 Network.

My bold prediction: we will shoot better than 1-16 on three pointers.

Time to ball!

Walton just said how glad he is that Muir has not fired Hasse.

---

Silva's man hit a 3, then hit another 3 and got fouled by Silva.  He made the FT, meaning Silva gave up 7 points in less than 1 minute of play.  We are down 5-14.

---

And another 3 over Silva.  That's 10 points.

I see the suckage that is the men's basketball team continues unabated from the disaster that was the game against Wisconsin.  We are less than 10 minutes in, and SDSU has a 20-9 lead.

Spencer Jones not starting again.  Because it's great coaching to have your best player come off the bench. /s

Speaking of coaching, SDSU's coach has a 75% win rate. Let's hire him.

Ingram has 5.  (Spencer) Jones, Murrell, Angel, and Reynaud each have 2.  12 minutes into the game, and we have 0 assists to 3 turnovers.

Cause they can’t beat SDSU off dribble and have shot air balls on  two wide open 3’s.

woo hoo, an assist.  Our A/T is 1/3.  

And to the person who said we will shoot better on 3's, we are only 10 misses away from matching last week (currently 1/6).

Tough to win when you can’t shoot and your opponent is significantly quicker.

Took advantage of the offer of free tickets. Aztecs are getting many more open looks, and they are making more of them than we are

Some decent defense in the last five minutes kept us within striking distance. Only down 11 at the half against a faster, more talented, and better coached team

The offense we run is dumb. Harrison Ingram is routinely being guarded by someone much smaller, but we have him floating on the perimeter. And in the first half we had him bringing the ball up the Court. What kind of stupidity is this? Post him up!

Or maybe it’s the outcome of better coaching…

I bet SDSU doesn’t have four top 25 recruiting classes, and yet they are clearly the better team.

Four top 25 recruiting classes and this is what we get? Sorry but I bet SDSU doesn’t have that kind of recruiting track record, and yet they are clearly the better team.

  I truly don’t care about recruiting rankings. Look at the teams  on the floor and if you can suggest to me that Stanford has close to the talent San Diego state does well we’re watching different basketball games. The quickness difference is massive. And Stanford’s shooting is atrocious. With good looks

I've been saying the same for years.  We have Raynaud dribbling from outside the 3-point line.  Criminal misuse of players.

As with the football team, the issue is that players don't develop under Haase, and the way they are used, the whole is less than the sum of its parts. Someone like Mike Montgomery, given a couple years to develop the players, could have gotten them to play well enough to defeat SDSU.  We regularly held our own against teams with more athletic and quicker players, and that is because Montgomery developed players.

Ingram is  the one guy you have they can really create and distribute the ball. You’re not gonna waste him by sticking him down on the block. Do you even know if he can play with his back to the basket? Post play is not something that you get a whole lot of these days.  

The days of taking a seven footer (Reynaud) and sticking him on the block are over. It’s not the way the games played anymore. It’s a simple as that

No.  That is because Montgomery coached in a completely different era. At the time when you actually could take bigs and stick them down in the block. Post players. Like Adam Keene.  Because they actually knew how to do it. The game is not played that way anymore BC. It’s simply not.

Obviously he was a very good coach. And I suspect he would have adjusted to today’s style. But if you look at those teams he would have a Reveno , Keefe, Wright, bigs that play down low. Few and far between these days
