Nevada:
ESPN % Chance of win
2/18 @ Utah State probable loss 35% LOSS
2/21 San Jose probable win 84%
2/24 @ Fresno 50/50 76%
2/27 @ Wyoming probable win 78%
3/4 UNLV probable win 78%
Obviously, Logan is a difficult venue. Fresno is tough at home. UNLV is a rivalry game, so maybe the Rebels show up.
Most likely they end up 14-4 or 13-5
Boise State
2/19 UNLV probable win 84% WIN
2/22 New Mexico probable win 82%
2/25 @ San Jose 50/50 67%
2/28 SDSU 50/50 61%
3/4 @ Utah State 50/50 46%
Still have two tough road games. San Jose is playing really good right now. Most likely they end up 14-4 or 13-5
SDSU
2/21 Col St probable win 92%
2/25 @ New Mexico 50/50 59%
2/28 @ Boise probable loss 39%
3/4 Wyoming probable win 98%
One less game to play. Bye comes at a good time. Most likely we end up 15-3. If everyone is healthy, I think we have a decent chance to run the table.
We really missed Arop in the New Mexico game. Guys will want revenge in that game.

Avoiding losses to CSU and WHY-OH are mandatory. 2 games at altitude will be close, and it'll come down to who shows up for those games. Hopefully Trammell and Butler get some basketball religion during this off-week. Guards who aren't scoring reliably aren't going to be helpful going into March. Yet we know what both of them can do when they're on their games.

No worries about our home games. Boise and New Mexico will be tough on the road.

He was really locked in with the elbow jumpers and his threes for a while. He is really struggling right now---I hope he continues to shoot with confidence when he has good shots. We need him to get hot. |

Just in case add USU- they get both Nevada and BSU At Home - could win all their games and cause a real scramble
2/17 Nevada AT USU
2/21 USU At Cowboys
3/1 USU At UNLV
3/4 BSU At USU
Understand winning MW T is auto bid for MM
But could winning the MW Conference Title mean more for the selection Sunday Selection Group and the Aztecs

The title race is wide open. Nothing can be assumed.

There is a very good article in the Friday UT that explains what Nathan's value is for the Aztec defense - numerous switches and his ability to guard numerous players with his ability to defend by his movements and wing span
What he does on defense to help the guards does not always show up in the box score but the coaches are well aware and his team mates
Ugly game against Fresno but it does show what Nathan is capable to do when he is not in foul trouble
Also for those who may have not seen the result BSU was able to beat CSU AT CSU the other day in a very close game

No worries about our home games. Boise and New Mexico will be tough on the road. I feel like we will take 1 of those 2 Boise/UNM away games and finish 15-3 in the MW. |

Nevada beating the snot out of Utah State there: 19-2 with 16:16 left in the 1st half. Wil Baker has ALL 19 points, he's 5-5 from 3, hit his only 2-point FG and made both foul shots! WTF!!!!!

Get out the record books, Nevada now up 22-4 with 14:10 left. Baker still has ALL the points. 6-6 from 3 now. Hope they win by 50 even though it would be better for us if they didn't. But I want to see someone wipe the smirks off those Aggies and their fans.

That didn't last long. USU erased 21 point lead by Nevada and now has the lead.
LOL
