This is extreme but we finally have our full roster with Morgan and Coleman, our 2 best shooters. The lanes have really opened up and we are much tougher team than last year. Jaylen Bond provides more physicality inside than we've had and Obi Enenchionyia is as athletic a big as we've had here in a long time.

I thought this team was a sleeper to win the AAC before the game and I feel better now.

scary sight at Viejas.

Dwayne Polee just collapsed on the court, looks like he's seizing. Eyes are rolled way back into his head. Paramedics rushing out.

NJIT leading @ Nova by 3 at halftime. Lightning striking twice?

Edit: Took 28 minutes, but seems Nova finally is on the run that ends it.

Hawai'i gagged that game away by rushing an inbound pass, got what they deserve. Was rooting for 'em, though that makeup call they fouled out Jankovich on was brutal, should have been on someone else 3 seconds earlier and he should have stayed in the game

Arizona getting a good battle from UNLV as you'd expect

UNLV with the upset over Arizona.

I've watched parts of a couple games for Wichita State, they're not the same team they were last year.

Wichita clearly misses Early.

They don't have the same type of skill from their big men and I don't think they're as a physical as the team from 2 years ago. They are still clearly a tournament team but I'll be interested to see how the committee will treat them. If they end up with about 4 losses and between 27 and 30 wins; I wonder if the committee views them as something closer to a 3 or 4 seed or somewhere between a 5 and a 9 seed. They look closer to the latter from what I've watched.

The UNLV-Arizona game was intriguing. UNLV was able to get Rondae Hollis Jefferson and Tarzcewski in foul trouble and forced Arizona to rely less on their strength of their team and rely more on their perimeter. Stanley Johnson made a couple mistakes but as the season progresses, I expect him to get better and better.

UNLV is an odd team. They have talent but it's young and it's hard to predict what they get night to night and possession to possession. Some offensive possessions they looked really good and others they looked lost. Where they fit in the Mountain West will be interesting to follow. The teams that look like they can contend in that conference are San Diego State, Colorado State, Wyoming, Boise State, UNLV and maybe New Mexico. I expect this league to be a 3 to 4 bid league.

Re: 12/22-12/28 Game Discussion Thread

I am not surprised the incompetent PAC refs missed the fact that UNLV grabbed the net during Ashley's 3-pointer. Arizona's got a few issues on offense. Ashley can shoot an occasional 3 but it's not reliable. Pitts can shoot an occasional 3, but doesn't see the court often. York is a good shooter, but a defensive liability. Stanley Johnson tries to do too much individually and then when he does pass, he frequently turns it over. He's got talent-galore but Miller has a lot of work to do to get into his head that he's not in high school anymore and can't just dribble circles around everyone.

George Washington beats Wichita State for the Diamond Head Classic title. I continue to stand by my thoughts on Wichita State. George Washington looks to be a good patient team and I'll be interested to see where they fit in the A10.

Indiana and Georgetown has been really entertaining. Indiana could be really dangerous come March.

Ya, but don't they realize they need to end in time for UK/Lou? At least I see ESPNews is covering that game for now...

I like that both teams are playing hard but this has been some ugly basketball.

I just don't see anyone beating UK…their only weakness IMO is they just don't handle some situations well because they lack experience (seriously, did they realize they were winning at the end of this game today?). UK will destroy the SEC this year, unless Florida or Arky make huge strides in season.
