MW similar to other lower level conferences is only expected to get 1 MM bid . We may have moved up from 12 th to 10 best conference - is that something to be proud of ? We are the best team in an average to decent conference , that has not had a top 25 team all year . MW plays competitive games in a conference that can be very difficult to travel to and play in ( especially with altitude ). Offense , what can you say when we score 43 against Little Rock , USD 48, Grand Canyon 45 . In MW conference games Lost to Fresno only score 57 . At BSU score 56 but win . Have scored in the 60's in at least 4 other games. Lost to BSU at home , we should have beaten them by at least double digits as they did not have their best player . Should have put them away early - but as we have done numerous times let teams hang in there . How would you rate our offense on 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 scale ? compared to other teams nationally .It is not smooth . Count how many times a player along the perimeter dribbles , when a quick pass has much better chance to beat a zone . We are making numerous errors in our slow down ball screen offense . We tried fast pace attack against San Jose that was our most impressive offense . The slower style negates our speed and athleticism , and makes us so much easier to defend as we stand around . Dude, SJSU game was about the DEFENSE turning into easy points. We'd do that in EVERY GAME if we forced back to back to back live ball turnovers but we don't. Our O right now is about a 6-7, mainly because we turn it over too much. Earlier in the year it was closer to a 3. When Pope and Win are playing well it's closer to an 8. breaking down the defender is just as effective as passing around the perimeter. When either is done well they work. When they're not, the don't. We make a ton of turnovers when we play out of control, which is typically when we force passes or try and play too fast. A prime example was early in the BSU game. When we run our offense correctly it can be extremely effective. Until last year, historically it has been.

We have been very good in MWC play even when you adjust for strength of schedule. The OOC is what did us in. You shouldn't be complaining about anything about our conference play. 99% of teams are better in transition offensively, but there is a trade off on the defensive end. The reason it worked against SJSU, is cause they were much easier to turnover than other MWC teams and we adjusted our strategy, also we happened to make our threes that game. The Boise game was an extreme outlier. We did put them away till like a 1 in 1000 chance happened and we lost. That being said did you watch the Boise game in the first half? We were playing way too fast and had numerous turnovers in transition.

Have been at every home game for close to 10 years . BSU first half , Webb did not play the whole game . They could not match up with our front line . We should have gone in and out numerous times, as they had very little to stop us , but we did not really work very hard at getting it done, pass the ball inside then out , one -touch to borrow a soccer term , move ball quickly , maybe twice ,instead we dribble around the perimeter . Stop over dribbling move and pass . Count how many times each player dribbles the ball before they pass or shoot

The MW was rated 12 th best MBB conference . MW has not had a team in the top 25 - is it all year ? Wins over top 25 teams did UNLV have a couple over Ducks and IU . BSU beat the Ducks . SDSU has beaten CAL . So 4 quality wins in over 125 OOC games.Who have the other teams in the MW beaten ? Do we want to talk about Bad Losses ? Many see MW as 1 bid conference . So how would you classify the majority of teams in the MW ? Listen to most national TV announcers . Comments IF the Aztecs had even an average offense they would easily be a top 25 team or higher . Are we even near the top of the MW in offense ? We should be beating the vast majority of MW teams by at least double digits . On a 1-10 scale how would you rate the Aztecs offense , nationally ? IMO we have the talent to be a good offensive team . Coaches recruit very athletic players , applaud that , now use their athletic ability even more. You love to extrapolate ideas . What is wrong with trying to push the ball up the court to the guys . Guys moving to get open . A few quick passes . Sharing the basketball. That sure beats having guys stand around , neutralizing our advantage and making us easier to defend . Dribbling does Not beat a zone and we face a zone by almost all teams we face . I have said the ball should go inside at least once , if not twice , that is NOT changing the offense talk about not knowing what is supposed to happen and being stupid . Last year it was get the ball inside to JJ , then running the offense from the inside . This year believe Fisher had said try to get it to Winston. Our best offensive team . Ball inside to Leonard, White or Malcolm . Your not wrong, but you are wrong. Get it. We have a true freshman PG, with several other guys that turnover the ball too much. The best thing coach can do is limit tempo and possessions which means less opportunity for TOs and a more efficient offense.

the team is at its best when it is attacking the basket . Moving with out the ball and passing more then dribbling.

As always Coug you take everything to an extreme . I said first go inside then outside to set up easier shots , including threes , get Zimmerman in foul trouble , make him work on D and game was won . Our offense was producing especially when we were attacking the basket our strength plus UNLV was very limited for players so wear them down with movement , make them chase us . Run as often as possible to make them run to stay with us and tire .

I love how relentless we were at attacking the rim. Kell, JH, Shep and DA all went hard. We just have to hit FTs.

great point we were going to our strength getting to the basket . If Angelo had been able to hit the first 3 or 4 opportunities , as a senior starter last night we would have been putting the game away even earlier .

Looking forward to getting McDaniels here, perhaps our next Winston Shepard?

Believe Jalen has a very high ceiling , same for Malik and Zylan . Does take time for a freshman to transition to the college game especially for a taller player, who does not usually see decent competition in a lot of games. Be patient because it may take some time but loads of talent going forward . May also provide a link for future players in the area.

Rivals recruiting reporter, Eric Bossi believes McD has All MWC potential! Not sure that we can afford to have him red shirt, losing Chol, Spense, WSIII and perhaps Pope?

It still blows me away that we had 0 California HS recruits in the class of 2016. Happy about McD, but what happened in the home land?
