TU vs SDSU

[nevadanatural]

SDSU has the same record we do and similar results. Some decent games then some WTF losses (Grand Canyon). Should be an interesting game.

We had the athletic advantage today, but that won't be true tomorrow. SDSU has three 4-stars and a 5-star in their starting lineup. They've underperformed, but the talent is there. The good news for us is they don't force many turnovers and they're not a great outside shooting team.

 

[Weatherdemon]

SanFran beat Utah.

Is Rex Walters still at San Fran?


Wild. This tournament is anyone's for the taking. It would be nice for our guys to get some confidence going into the UCONN game.

We need Etou to get out of his funk. If he plays like he is capable of, so many other things work for us. Birt and Magnay get open, for example. Right now Etou is fouling like he's Anthony Price in a game of tag.

Bwahahahaha!

Sounds like blocking out & rebounding will be a key factor for Tulsa in today's game.

Walters is coaching an NBA D League team now. Kyle Smith, former HC at Columbia, took over this year.

Prediction for the game:

Good Birt = W

Bad Birt = L

Prediction for the game:

Good Birt = W

Bad Birt = L

That was the answer for the last 6 games of last year's season.

Game before goes to OT

 

[Gold*]

Brimah has been at UCONN since before Dane came to TU

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Game starts on ESPNEWS. TU up 6-0 early!

 

[Glasscain]

Etou came to play today.

 

[nevadanatural]

Good shooting to start but SDSU athleticism has brought them back to a two point deficit.

 

[nevadanatural]

Looks like Edogi has "Wright" syndrome, getting the ball in scoring position and trying to dribble.

 

[nevadanatural]

Good hard fought game so far.

 

[Weatherdemon]

We are not quick enough to help inside. Teams have been taking advantage of that all season and getting wide open threes.

 

[Gold*]

We've played 11 games this year and had Darren George three times. And he sucks at his job.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Birt is off today. Ugh.

 

[Gold*]

For having better big men than last year by every objective measure, we sure give up a lot of offensive rebounds.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

If Birt ain't hitting... sit him.
Lord are we an awful defensive rebounding team.

 

[nevadanatural]

We really need to value the ball and get a shot every possession.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Oh... and SDSU travels a bit much that the refs just don't call.

 

[nevadanatural]

For having better big men than last year by every objective measure, we sure give up a lot of offensive rebounds.

We're actually doing pretty good in that aspect only allowing 3 so far but 6 turnovers is the difference so far.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

They make their freebies...
We miss ours... so frustrating.

 

[Gold*]

Darren George is an asshole. If the NCAA cared, he would not be an official. That was not a foul on Magnay. I'd get my butt kicked out of there.

 

[nevadanatural]

8-1 turnover margin so far.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Good lord. We're almost Wojcik era bad on turnovers.

 

[I.I.]

Edogi guarding Cheatham is ugly.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Our defensive rebounding, inability to protect the ball --- not good.

Cheatem is a stud!

 

[Gold*]

Dewey, Cheatam, and Howe

Yuk yuk yuk

 

[Weatherdemon]

We're outrebounding them 14-11. We have 4 offensive, they have 5.

 

[TU Sepp]

They just look so much quicker than TU.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Just try to keep it under 10 and see what last 5 minutes can give us... gotta hit 3s to have a chance today.

 

[ctt8410]

SDSU fans are a dead ringer for Fresno fans.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Neither team looking good from 3 after hot starts.
3-11 and 3-12.

I'm working on it.

 

[nevadanatural]

Taller overall also. It's gonna be a tough climb.

So there exchanging photos of their trailer homes in the stands!!!

 

[Weatherdemon]

Yea, they're big, athletic, and quick.
