Think the Wyoming game was bad?

Yes, it was, but this will make you feel, well, if not better, at least it will cause you to keep things in perspective.

Just look what happened to the Huskies of Northern Illinois! Honestly, this would have looked bad in 1940!

PS: Yes, this is technically off-topic for the Aztec section.

SDSU had 15 2pt field goals in their log of a performance last week.

NIU had 7 2pt baskets today.

NM had 8.

NM & NIU were both down by 14 at halftime today.

Good news: NIU grabbed 18 offensive rebounds.
Bad news: They had more offensive rebounds than baskets and free throws combined (16).

Good news: NIU hit a three pointer and avoided the record for most 3's in a game without a make.
Bad news: They were still 1-33 from long range.

How is this possible? Surely a lot of the better H.S. teams would have done better.

That Wyoming game may be the best thing to happen to the team this year. After that wake-up call, they've played their best hoops of the season by far.

Now we know teams can miss 29 consecutive shots at any given time.

Thank you Wyoming. Seems that slap in the face was just what this team needed to wake up. Defensive intensity & rebounding have been reborn.
