I actually have a much better feeling about this game. The Pokes survived a rough UNLV game playing a great half then a fall apart gritty one. Boise just got blasted by Nevada at home :eek: Nevada is sort of the litmus test in the league and they failed miserably. It's a great time to get BSU in Laramie. Wyoming has to just find a way and feels like they've got a better game in them this week. Pokes get this and they're in the top 4 with a big road trip ahead.

I think we take it. We are a very tough out at home. I think this game JMac finally gets his feet back under him. He hits some threes and the Pokes pull away at the end, win by double digits.

This league is looking like a rollercoaster. I actually kind of like how Wyoming is looking especially with this schedule. I didn't have them beating Boise in my predictions a few weeks back and now I think they can get them. The SDSU and AF road trip is the road trip this team needs after this. SDSU hasn't been this weak in forever and AF is a rivalry game which makes it easier to get UP for.

I'm predicting not. But predictions are hard, especially about the future. My solution is to get a very comfortable lead at the end-minutes of the game, then let McMan take every shot to see if he can break the slump.

If J McMan can just knock down 2 3's a game again this team is gonna be winning by 10 points at home.

Boise seems to live and die by the 3, similar to us. J Mac is in a slump, so is the jelly donut himself Nick Duncan. If only one of those 2 guys finds their stroke this game it will be a blowout in either direction. If they both continue to struggle or both get it going it will be a very tight game. Go Pokes! I'm doing my best to troll all my BSU neighbors these next few days lol

This sounds crazy, but I think jmac needs to shoot from deeper. Needs a better set shot look... Think moving out would help him

JMac hasn't been squaring up when he shoots. He's trying to push the tempo and is rushing his shot just a bit.

And did you notice the two bricks he threw up to start the second half? Virtually no arch at all.

One more thing I noticed was he starts into his shooting motion before he looks at the basket - back to the basics JMac.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him/her.

This. If he gets back on track we are one of the better teams in the MWC

Personally I think the shirts are dumb. But at the same time, they get every single Boise fan upset. So I guess mission accomplished :) lol

Starting 5 looking pretty damn solid out there. Adams is BIG in that 5. Loving "The Sheriff" Naughton owning the paint! McMan has been hit with a soft foul but he's got a little more life in him so far too.
