+++++Official New Mexico St. vs Boogs Tourney Game Thread+++++

So, do we match up better with Kansas or Northeastern? I know we want Kansas, but I want Sweet 16 more. I feel like neither team in our next game will present the challenges that NMSU presented today.
I'd love to put a whoopin on a blue blood but I'll let it wait to the Sweet Sixteen. Give me Norhteastern all day every day

I’m such a boog honk that after we survived this game we should play with a lot more freedom and confidence. That being said gimme N Eastern.
 
This game always scared the shit out of me due to the time and opponent and I promised myself I wouldn’t break down the altitude but I did. Really none of that mattered we shit our pants the last couple mins and as is March madnesss they hit bombs. That said we won and I still feel good about the next one.

yup. Chin up. Rest up. Watch other faves struggle to get our confidence up, and let's get that dub on Saturday.
 
guys - what the hell did you do? I got in the car to head back to the office up 14

I thought you guys could handle it from there... sheesh

we shit our pants at the end of both halfs, blowing leads that should have given plenty of breathing room. I'll take the win, but man it doesn't feel like one.

We made some errors down the stretch, but refs killed us as well. That charge call on Bryce was horse shit. 2 FTs there would have put us up by 10 or 12 and likely ended that shit before they got into that late game heroics. The no call on the obvious foul on the last rebound was unreal. Samir has position and dude comes over his back and undercuts him. That was as obvious of a foul on a rebound as you will ever see.

In any event, we didn't play poorly most of the game which is good news. Should have won comfortably. We turned them over a ton and shot the 3 ball reasonably well. Should have won the game by 15+. The good news is style points don't matter in the tournament. Survive and advance is all that matters.

I agree with most of what you said. Big difference in my view point was that Bryce forced the issue way too much on the play. Should’ve pulled up and kicked it back out to Chuma for a wide open corner 3. Didn’t really feel like that was a call that needed to be made on the Samir play either with only a second left.
 
I think playing a name like Kansas vs a non-name like Northeastern will be better for us mentally. There won’t be that feeling in the back of their minds that they should beat this team. I feel like some of that showed up late today. We should’ve beaten that team, and that created some nerves.

Don’t over think this man. Kansas has top 10 talent and Northeastern doesn’t. I want Northeastern

Yep, I want Kansas. Northeastern beat Bama. And Bama......oh, yeah, we swept Bama. But it still stands. Give me Kansas.

I keep thinking back to 2000...

Florida is a 5 seed, blows a lead against 12 seed Butler, Mike Miller hits a buzzer beater to win, Florida ends up playing in the title game

at this point in the season, nobody owes anyone any apologies for shit as long as you win... especially when we don’t have enough historical success to feel bad about how we won
 
I mean, completely irrelevant to the discussion but I’ve seem the commercial too much today. But Gabrielle Union is 46 years old. Had no idea she was ten years older than D Wade. Damn
