The WAC is the No. 12 RPI league in the country. Sure they are 8-2 in their last 10 and they have a high RPI at 46 but they lost at Iona their strength of schedule is 144. NMSU has a 68 RPI and a 111 SOS. I don't know how things are weighted and whether either team would be on the board selection Sunday, but I think the WAC isnt that great and is a one-bid leagueJason Groveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865320061941648252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-62212467245033106792012-03-05T22:45:39.131-07:002012-03-05T22:45:39.131-07:00Not to defend Menzies, but I think he's still ...Not to defend Menzies, but I think he's still learning how to coach. Hence, the slowness to adapt or innovate. Maybe he's listening to his top assistants.<br /><br />I'll give him props for getting that small lineup in before the Fresno game got completely away from the team. I'll also give him credit for getting decent players, both from the talent and the human perspective.<br /><br />Here's a question, Jason. If Nevada loses in the first or second game of the WAC tourney, do they make it to the NCAA tourney as an at-large team?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-83962384469206783222012-03-04T16:10:54.023-07:002012-03-04T16:10:54.023-07:00It has been very obvious all season that Aggies sh...It has been very obvious all season that Aggies should be going with the smaller, more agile and talented line-up, especially when the big centers are not being effective. Why has this been so difficult to soak in Menzies hard head. The small line-up has worked before and almost work when Menzie waited too long to use it. I nearly fell off my chair when Menzie said the Aggies didn't have any offense plan for using the small offense and took credit for his being innovative by going with a small line-up. I wonder if menzie has any offense plan for the big line-up?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-53190289610176136872012-03-04T13:07:22.006-07:002012-03-04T13:07:22.006-07:00Actually the Aggies have used a small lineup befor...Actually the Aggies have used a small lineup before with Tyrone Watson as the center. They did it on the road to get back into that game. Seems like more of a comeback measure but it was certainly effective against Fresno State.<br /><br />Regarding Bandja, I don't think it was an aberration. Yet I think that's the best offensive half he's had. He's always good defensively, but what I like about his performance against Fresno State was that he heated up late offensively. Normally if he gets off to a slow start, he isnt productive at all.Jason Groveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865320061941648252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-45299741058865400702012-03-04T09:43:05.246-07:002012-03-04T09:43:05.246-07:00Jason
