UTEP v Sul Ross Game Thread

He's judging them mostly based on what they were last year. The one game this season did provide us with enough info to know the following:
  1. Kalu still hasn't developed any offensive skills. If he had, he would have shown them against his smaller, slower opponents last night.
  2. Hamilton is still out of shape.
  3. Hamilton is still being asked to hedge on defense, something that he is incapable of doing.
  4. Jones, the most talented four we have on the team, played only 11 minutes. Only three players played fewer minutes. That's enough to infer that Golding still doesn't want Jones on the floor.
Given the above, yes, I believe that there is enough for us to be concerned about our big men.
Do you really believe, that was the goal of this game? I think some of you are going a little too harsh, early on... Given the guards this year, the big guys are good enough to get it done. Sure they will struggle against the bigger teams, but they should be fairly competitive against CUSA play. I personally hope, Golding, does not allow large droughts of not scoring like he has in the past. A decent test this Saturday for the Miners.

New MWC Possibility:

Outside of pulling a current FBS team other than NMSU, I don’t know if there’s any “absolute win” to get. Seems a bit biased to me.
Nope Absolute Win! NDSU would start off like James Madison and would be a Boise State in 10 years! Absolute Win, Period! I just didn’t think it was really going to happen, because I didn’t think they wanted to make the jump! Best option so far except for maybe Texas St. However now after getting Grand Canyon for Basketball this would be a great move and no more moves would have to be made for awhile. If they do this I think an overall pay out of 4-5 million per team would be realistic.

New MWC Possibility:

I think it's appealing to them but I'm not sure how appealing it is to MWC. Everyone wants out of CUSA except the schools that can't afford to leave.
If they’re apparently willing to add schools from Ohio, Illinois, and North Dakota, I am sure they would take one from Louisiana. Could be a football only issue and LaTech isn’t interested in that.

I disagree about CUSA. Sam Houston is probably better off with eastern schools and other FBS move ups. Would the teams rather be in other conferences, yeah. Doesn’t mean they necessarily are dying to leave CUSA. Same could be said about any other G6 school too.

New MWC Possibility:

Fvvvvvvvvvvvvvvck no. I would take LaTech too, but I personally don’t think it makes sense for them. Remember they’ve been there, done that in the WAC when Hawaii was there with them. Just don’t think it would be appealing to them.
