They are learning. I see a fair amount of difference between game 1 and game 8. Pretty much everyone expected them to lose the lead at some point but it never got closer than 6 down the stretch.

Even that game announcer not named Wolo was saying that we could be sure that the Jackrabbits would 'mount a run'. He seemed to salivate over that team. I had to yell at the screen many times so as not to hear him...lol.

Bottom line. The jacks hopped a little--like two threes in a row---but they never really did 'mount a run'.

When they started fouling us early (as if they had read a scouting report) it drug the game out interminably. Even my stream stopped working...lol... but came back just as they 'stole' the inbounds lol.

Would he be any better with Gregg Marshall?

I think that Lomax and Harris are going to be great together.

I’d be willing to bet his (Lomax) assists will go up when #32 gets here.

lol He needs work. He kept jinxing us.

NTR warning.

I was reading about Daum. The 'Dauminator' I don't care what league you're in...51 points is insane. We held him to 18, while Jenkins managed 35. sheesh

Anyway, Daum didn't start that way. He redshirted his frosh year to get stronger and came off the bench in his Sophomore Year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Daum

Despite not starting, Daum averaged 15.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game and was named the Summit League's Sixth Man of the Year and first-team all-conference. Daum's ability to score both inside and from three-point range earned him the nickname "The Dauminator."

As a redshirt sophomore, Daum became a full-time starter and was named the preseason Summit League Player of the Year. After averaging 25.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, Daum made good on this prediction by winning the conference Player of the Year award at the conclusion of the season.During the season, Daum scored a season-high 51 points in a conference win over Fort Wayne.

I really hope he never loses that edge as he becomes an upperclassman

OK, non-BB related.

1) When the PA guys says Alex LOOOOOOOOOOO-max, it sounds terrible.

2) The rah rah guy who is on the mic and tells the crowd to cheer doesn't have the right voice for that role.

SDSU is nowhere close to the 70th best team in the country nor are there 120 teams better than the Tigers. But we need to start playing with a little fire in the belly and smack some of these teams around on our home floor.

KenPom will move quickly unlike RPI and other metrics...

But you must run up large Margins...You cant win by 8 at home against average opponents.

Not how it works.

Kenpom is heavily reliant on Margin of victory (Offensive Efficiency vs. Defensive Efficiency)...Win by one point at home against an average team doesn't move the needle if you are an average team.

If I am wrong please educate me
