First off, an all-time great nickname: the Vaqueros – "a cowboy;
a cattle driver."
I'm not going to belabor this one. After all, it's a quick
turnaround for the team and for yours truly. Will anybody be
tuning in?
This team is plenty dangerous, having been selected to finish
fourth in the WAC. We'll have our work cut out for us as we
can't expect a veteran group to throw the ball around like
TAMUCC did. Many of these guys were part of last year's 20-win
campaign and have just come up short against the Dakota States –
North and South. They just gave NDSU, the Summit League's
preseason #1, everything it could handle.
I keep referring to our stamina here. UTRGV had TEN guys play at
least 10 minutes in tonight's win, and nobody had more than 33
minutes (Jackson en route to a career-high 29; Levi en route to
a near triple double). It's like, I dunno, the coach knew he had
three games to get through – not a wild concept. By contrast, we
had just six 10+ minute guys, with Foreman (37), Olaniyi (34)
and Garcia (34) all leaving it all out there. Are they prepared
to hit free throws in the second of three games in three days?
We hit just 9 of 17 tonight. I just have a hunch that energy is
going to play a factor in the last 10 minutes – they're
shuffling players in and out, we're exhausting our core guys.
We'll soon see.
Quick check on Vegas: we're a 2.5 point favorite at the moment.

Thanks for the quick turnaround; we are spoiled with your
analyses. I will definitely be tuning in. I really feel we
stole last night’s game, and it’ll be interesting to see how
well we perform in a back-to-back. Did anyone notice that
Foreman appeared to injure (or RE-injure) something right at the
end of the game? Hope he’s ok, as he was instrumental in last
night’s win, and love him as the floor general and someone who
can shoot. I know Eli is one of our leaders, but he really needs
to temper some of those long, out-of-rhythm 3’s, imo. Continue
to love Mo and Garcia finished real strong yesterday too.

Checkmate, can you step up and do the play-by-play?

LOL. I’d love Caray’s old job. I did it in college and it was
AWESOME. PbP in this forum is the best I’ll do I’m afraid though
[emoji1787] I’m disappointed that they didn’t fill his position
though.
Looking really good so far.

Surprised that Caray gave up sbu basketball entirely for a AAA
baseball gig. I guess baseball is in his blood. So u did UMass
play-by-play; pretty cool.
Playing with more intensity tonight.

I did. Just the student station but traveled a lot for that and
the student paper. Tough to do as a pro because you have to move
all over and give up your nights and weekends for not much pay
early. A friend in the biz once said it’s a single man’s job -
one man’s opinion anyway. It was a great gig as a kid though.
We are shooting it well right now and making it tough for UTRGV.
The downside: turnovers. It’s been a lot easier to get inside
the paint than yesterday. Geno’s done a nice job with
substitutions too.

Sounded like a blast. Very tough to make it in sports. Have a
friend who is a color man in NHL, but tough on his family life
for sure.
Shooting well, but TO’s the the one thorn right now. Should be
up a dozen. Not a bad option having Chef as our 3rd big man.
