Now it seems like we should go 15-0 since that game tonight was the one I worried about....To me, the highlight was a little preview of what we will be seeing for the next three years....LB Franklin passing ally oop to J Franklin...What a pass and what a finish...He made that slam dunk look so easy....If both of those guys can start hitting some shots now.....NICE

Shows what the Aztecs can do when they play from the tip. If they put two halves like that together, I doubt anyone can beat them.

Anyone seen quotes from Bob Williams yet??? He must have gone into the locker room at halftime and wondered just what he was suppose to tell his team.

Anyone seen quotes from Bob Williams yet??? He must have gone into the locker room at halftime and wondered just what he was suppose to tell his team. UC Santa Barbara Head Coach Bob Williams Opening statement: "What was Denny Green's great quote in football? `They are who we thought they were?' They're a really good team. They're talented, they're well coached, they play together, they're unselfish, they have an inside and outside weapons, they defend, and they rebound. I don't see something they don't do. They have all of the different pieces." On San Diego State compared to UNLV: "What San Diego State has that's more effective offensively is that they're so much better around the rim. They have Billy White, (Kawhi) Leonard and (Malcolm) Thomas. They have weapons at the rim that UNLV doesn't match. Athletically, UNLV might be a little quicker laterally, but they're going to have to have a real impact underneath to beat these guys. Everybody says that San Diego State is probably the most talented team on the West Coast." On Malcolm Thomas: "He operated really well behind the plane of the board. He kept moving, and they found him extremely well. We didn't do a very good job of keeping the ball out of the paint. Give them great credit because they shot the ball so well. When they shoot well, we crept out a little bit and opened things up for Malcolm, Billy and Leonard slashing behind us. It's a double-edged sword." On the timing of playing San Diego State: "It's a perfect storm for San Diego State. Coach Fisher had their attention because they played poorly against Cal Poly, and he really got their attention when we went in and beat Vegas in Vegas. They were up and didn't overlook us. They came out fired up and shot the ball extremely well. They really did a great job tonight." goaztecs.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/recaps/121910aac.html

I expect that we'll see a lot out of the Franklin twins in the future.

I think I would have added (at half-time), "You just witnessed a buzz saw. Now go out and have some fun playing basketball during the second half." Hang in there, Matt

I'll admit I was a bit worried prior to the game (sickness, matchup zone, UCSB beating UNLV) but when I go to the arena and felt the energy of both the crowd and the team, I knew we were going to win.
The Show / Student section were FIRED UP! Great job as usual....loved the "you can't stop up' chant late in the 1st half.

You know what scary, Steve Fisher's team tend to play better the second half of the season.

It was pretty much a flawless performance. I suppose the only potential improvement would be to cut down on all the lay ups we gave UCSB. We only had 9 turnovers to 19 assists and made 14 of 17 free throws. Shoot 12-24 3FGs and 32-57 overall FGs. Surprisingly, we got outrebounded slightly 32 to 34. Six guys in double figures and another with 9 points.

Many highlights last night. One of my favorites was Carlwell blocking the 7'3" Hungarian's shot and watching the reaction of his teammates on the bench. ;D

I really loved the focus last night. It was fun texting the halftime stats to several different friends who were not at the game (8 for 13 3's - 9 for 9 free throws). This is a team that continues to have surprise after surprise. Thanks guys

I was very anxious to see how we came out last night after that Cal Poly game.
Ohhh Myyyy...
And Jamaal Franklin? What an athlete (and he has some real good basketball skills).

A big part of the layups was UCSB being a good team and being able to beat the press sometimes. Once or twice Malcolm got lost inside, which rarely happens. The rebound edge to UCSB? We own the offensive boards normally, but in this game there were none to be had. It was pretty much a flawless performance. I suppose the only potential improvement would be to cut down on all the lay ups we gave UCSB. We only had 9 turnovers to 19 assists and made 14 of 17 free throws. Shoot 12-24 3FGs and 32-57 overall FGs. Surprisingly, we got outrebounded slightly 32 to 34. Six guys in double figures and another with 9 points.

Teams are really focused on blocking us out right now on rebounds. It is #1 in their game plan. They know if they don't block us out, they have no chance.

What I appreciate MOST about this team is their unselfishness. Every players looks for the open man and the extra pass. KL did it twice last night on open looks at the top of the key, instead of shooting made the corner pass to Chase who made threes shooting in rhythm. It is this quality that sets this team apart and will take them a long way...
