Game on Saturday. It's winnable and one of four or five must-win games if we are going dancing.
Utah State has only lost 1 game - at Bradly. But they have 5 wins by 5 points or less. We have a common opponent in Akron. We won by two - they won by three. Our game was higher scoring.
They are a middling rebounding team at 111th Nationally but we suck at 269th. Their outside shooting pretty much sucks at 271st Nationally from three. Their scoring comes from the big body forward ( #1 - OSOBOR) and two starting guards who slash (#4 Martinez and # 12 Falslev) Much more of their scoring is at the rim the us. (I know we won't do it, but an occasional zone may hurt these guys)
If they wake up and shoot from outside they could kill us. If we rebound, shoot and limit OSOBOR to 15 or less we have a good chance.
