Vegas has us as 8.5 point underdogs. Very little excitement game coming off of a 3 game losing streak. All could change with an upset win in Las Cruces but it sure will take something more than what we’ve seen the past two weeks.

We are a good team, really talented, but today is a denouement for the Wildcats in the WAC conference. A win today vaults us back into the spotlight as a very serious contender. I really like this team and players and I hope the very best today. It will be a steep climb but maybe we pull it off. I have not heard if Simmons will be back, but we need him.

No Simmons--that really adds to our challenge

New Mexico St leads 23-18 with 6:42 left in the half. New Mexico St is 5-11 from three point territory. Everyone shoots lights out for 3 pointers against us lately.

The Aggies have some size advantages, but so far in the first half they haven't been able to create much separation. ACU, on the other hand, is finding a few things that work.

If we aren't going to hit our shots, as well as not get turnovers/PTOs, then we need better rebounding and 2nd chance points. BUT, we know we don't rebound. Maybe our bread and butter will start working again in the 2nd half. At least we are still in the game.

Now we have more turnovers than NMSU and the lead is widening.

I don't quite follow the substitution pattern when Mason is keeping us in the game, shoots two FTs, and is out. We were back to searching for someone to take shots. Mason finally looked like he had found a rhythm. Puzzling.
