Colorado State was up by 1 last I checked with 11:00 minutes left in game!

They are vulnerable. Mr. POY Flynn is struggling mightily. Meanwhile the true POY is playing some of his best ball. I’m going to miss me some Sam Merrill.

Who do we want to win this?

At first I thought SDSU for sure because we want them ranked as high as possible. But I’ve realized CSU is bordering another Q1 win for Usu if they can win this game. So I think CSU.

If they could get up to top 75 then the Q3 home game would move up to Q2 as well. I don't think that there is anyway they move up 30 spots though.

What is the better outcome for keeping UNLV on the other side of the bracket? I think that’s the right answer.

Need SDSU for seeding in tourney. If CSU wins them and/or Nevada could pass USU if Aggies stumble in NM.

Oops thanks. I had in my head a top 75 road game is a Q1 win. Not sure why I was thinking that. Either way though they’re still teetering on #75 which would be significant for usu.

I'm not saying that you're wrong. If they could move up 30 spots then the Q2 road game would become Q1 and the Q3 home game would become Q2. It would definitely help us. I just don't see any possible way for them to move up 30 spots from 105 to get there.

lol, disregard my posts, it’s late. I was thinking CSU’s net ranking was in the 80s for some crazy reason.

Don’t think CSU could pass us because we swept them and they already have 6 losses in conference.

The only way we aren’t the 2 seed is if Nevada beats SDSU and we lose to UNM, right? Don’t we have the tiebreaker on all other comers and have the tiebreaker on Nevada if we both lose on Saturday?

SDST wins 66 to 60........Aztecs have 1 last game at Nevada which isn’t going to be easy in Reno. We need to beat the Lobos and then hope Aztecs beat Nevada.

ineptimusprime · Post by **ineptimusprime** » February 25th, 2020, 11:26 pm

All academic now — the Aztecs pulled it out. CSU now officially eliminated from the hunt for second.

One of UNLV or BSU will be eliminated tomorrow from second place contention. Do we want UNLV in that one to lock them into the 4/5 game? I don’t think UNLV can move up past the 4 seed at this point because Nevada swept them, but I’m not sure if there are scenarios they could fall to 6 with a loss?

I think we are worst case the 3 seed now, but I could be mistaken.

As long as we beat the Lobos, it doesn’t matter what Nevada does as we own the tiebreaker over them.

We could actually fall to #4 if we lost @ NM, Nevada beats SDSU and UNLV beats Boise. We would lose the head-to-head tiebreaker with UNLV (although we would beat them in three-way tiebreaker with Nevada.)

How does the tiebreaker pencil out with us and UNLV?

You know what would have been nice? Not blowing a freaking 18 point lead to BSU with 3 minutes left. We’d have the second seed and perhaps a tourney bid sewn up today.

It honestly sucks that we played them at home during our worse stretch of basketball in the Craig Smith era. Would love another chance against them.

First tie breaker is head to head. Since we split it goes to best record over the top team in the conference. They beat SDSU while we didn't so they get the nod.

If UNLV loses tomorrow, is there a scenario where they fall to 6? If so, I’d rather they win and most likely lock themselves into the 4 slot (banking on us beating UNM and/or SDSU beating UNR).

Check out this link and you can see how it’ll play out based on who wins the remaining games.

He is still recovering from the heart attack he had last night in the final five minutes of the SDSU-CSU game.

Im sure he'll come up with a good reason. Something like, "they meant to do that and it works out better because... blah, blah, blah"

UNLV can still get 3rd place. If they win out, USU loses at NM and Nevada beats SDSU at home we they will be the 3rd seed. Nevada would be the 2nd and we would be 4th. I hope boise beats UNLV and then that puts UNLV in the 4/5 spot likely assuming they win at SJSU.

Now down 10 to Nevada..

ineptimusprime · Post by **ineptimusprime** » February 29th, 2020, 8:09 pm

What’s happened is they just beat Nevada and locked up the 2 seed for us.

utaggies · Post by **utaggies** » February 29th, 2020, 8:11 pm

Our boys can play without pressure against NM but I hope they play with urgency. We absolutely need to win the next two games and probably the next three to lock up an invite. Let’s do this!

Flynn struggled with 36 tonight on 13-20 from the floor and 3-6 from 3.
