I gave you a Rank of Mr. Buttface so that it can forever appear beneath your name.

Now I am going to be on the lookout for the people that actually have a rank. I had to quickly go find a post from AKAggie to make sure he was ranked appropriately.

Did our net tank because we haven’t played in two weeks?

Did Mitchell actually make contact with the defender’s leg?

So in 6 quarters of G League ball, Merrill has the following: 49 minutes played 12 points 5/18 from the field 1/9 from three 4 rebounds 7 assists 2 steals 3 turnovers At least the assist:turnover ratio looks good. Throw away the first game and this game looks great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Call me crazy, but I'd rather my 82-year-old grandmother who has been patiently waiting for her chance to get the vaccine have the opportunity to get it before some perfectly healthy 20-year-old college athletes just so I can be entertained for a few days in March. Quite frankly, this mentality sho...

for the collective mental health of the country and not having to miss two NCAA tournaments in a row, why are student athletes not considered "essential" and all of them get vaccinated? We are currently vaccinating around 1-2M people per day in the US. In 2017-18, there were about 500k student athle...

BYU is top 30 as of today. That pushes our loss to them to quad 1 loss. This actually kindof brings up a potential perverse recursive bump in the NET rankings. A team reaching Q1 could cause another teams to bump from a Q3 to a Q2, which would in turn look better for the Q1 team, which in turn woul...

Has the MWC ever had 4 in the top 50 of NET, RPI, or other rankings? I know it has had three teams in the tournament before, but wonder what the rankings looked like when that happened.

USU 97
Fresno (isn't a) State 67

Can I also add that it has felt like an eternity since we have played a basketball game? Be Thursday already.

The optimist in me tells me that we can beat anybody if we don't have the yips. Our defense is also good enough to keep us in games even when we have the yips. It reminds me of a poem from a book called My American Heritage that my dad used to read to our family that had classic poems and short lite...

Seems like an over correction from the MWC in this game. UNLV is full extension pushing off and only one offensive foul this game. At least 3 pointers where UNLV has pushed off to clear space. Trash shooting on our end, but these refs aren’t calling anything now. How about the full body tackle when...

Has any kept calculating RPI and determined whether NET has been a better predictor of success than RPI?

jpswensen

THIS is why the NCAA needs to make the NET rating transparent. If we could see the formula we could figure out why the NET is over-valuing Colgate, and why SDSU moved up 10 spots by blowing out Air Force twice while their OOC opponents moved down in NET this week. You didn't hear? Conspiracy theori...

My sons both play High School basketball out here and we weren't allowed to attend any games until 2 weeks ago. We watched games on the NFHS Network. Now we can attend but they only let two parents in to home games. When they play road games we are not allowed to attend. Cheerleaders are allowed to...

Have some faith and patience my friend. Craig has really been talking up shulga and zapala. He did not do that with vedischev. I don't purport to be an evaluator of talent, nor even play one on TV, but the few minutes I have seen Zapala play, I have liked what I have seen. He isn't going to be a fr...

I still think Worster has a nagging injury. About 5-6 games ago he came up gimpy from a fall. It seemed to last the rest of the game. Maybe something is still bothering him?

jpswensen

I feel for he and Gary. It's a tough business and this would have been a crappy year to have to perform through. I do however think it's pretty lame to act like there's a problem with John because they moved on. Seems like Gary was given the benefit of the doubt in a lot of ways. It was a real snak...

I saw a quote from Craig Smith saying as good as Miller was offensively, he was even better defensively. How does that reconcile to the general consensus on this board that he is a poor defender. Is it just that the bar is that low, or is he better than most on this board give him credit for? I've ...

https://bracketologists.com/twitimgt/usu_1610582400.jpg Click the banner for more info. Trend line looks good!! If BYU ends up winning pretty much everyone but Gonzaga, do they end up Top 30 (I think that is what we need for them to be a Q1 loss as the home team). They are at 35 right now, but some...

Nailbiter until the last minute when SDSU is fouling.

How does this affect Title IX? Or, as long as the scholarships are honored, does that not affect the required balance between sports?

jpswensen

Yeah Boise has looked very good. I have loved how we have looked, but they are the team to beat for now. Kindof crazy how they have parlayed their football success into basketball success. There aren't a ton of school who seem to be good at both. I think they have been getting much better at bball ...

I realize that everyone exaggerates physical measurement, but he would be lucky to measure 6’3” in long cleats on cement with his helmet on. There have been successful NFL QBs lately that are shorter (Brees and Wilson), but I think he is almost on the left tail of the current distribution https://go...

He has a third gear the Porter didn't have.

I think an underrated aspect of his game is that he is always talking (not in the trash talking sense). I know that coaches always preach on-court communication, but he is a player that I always feel like they are actually doing it.

A1Automotive. I few times I thought I needed a repair, they checked the car, and told me I didn’t. They’ve had opportunities to charge me for work I didn’t need, and they remained honest. Good people! I only had a breakdown once during college. They also took a look and told me the AC was shot and ...

Frankly, if he can’t make it in the NBA, he had go back to Europe and make bank. He is witty and funny and a pretty good player. I think he could be a fan favorite on a European team.

Why would they have any effect on the backcourt of WSU????

Been reading far, far too many faculty applications the last two days. My mind is kindof in the WSU gutter.

jpswensen

3.5 more years of Worster and Ashworth could be touting this as one of the best backcourts in USU history. We have had some pretty good duos over the years, but we have two freshmen (one a true freshman) playing well beyond their basketball years. I know, I know. There is a lot of proving that has t...

77-69 USU

Neck and neck most of the game, but we inch ahead and win comfortably.

jpswensen

I think that the MWC looks in very good shape to be at least a 2 bid conference (maybe they could sneak in a third?).

jpswensen

I'll repeat my prediction from last game.

We win comfortably, 78-65.

jpswensen

What is a good defense against their offense? Do we go small and try to run with them? Do we go big and deny cuts and backdoors, and force then to beat is with mid-range jumpers and beyond? I love b-ball, but don’t have enough technical knowhow to know how one defends their offense. That being said,...

Why is this forum still called Stews Spectrum? Shouldn't it be call "Craig's Corner" If Craig Smith passed Stew in the total wins column, maybe we can talk about it. He’ll be long gone before then though. I don't think it should take overtaking Stew in wins. I think that an NCAA win and another con...
