Mullings is a credit to wearing the #23 jersey. Picked the team up at some critical times, too, and all hustle plays.

You gotta dance with who brung ya so the Nevada zone shouldn't deter you from playing inside out. Sy, Laroche and Barry might shoot a better percentage if the centers kick it out of the double-team. I don't see Rahman with any room for a move because he's triple-teamed and getting to the line plenty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-26779451420347590142012-02-13T07:36:34.314-07:002012-02-13T07:36:34.314-07:00Bandja Sy is the key.

Hope he can put together a solid run in March.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-56435164812554861302012-02-12T19:32:26.033-07:002012-02-12T19:32:26.033-07:00Still need work!

Ham was on the ground more than anything. We don't have a legit 3 point shooter. And most important they don't shoot FT's at a high enough percentage. Those three facets will doom this team in the postseason. Wen, Laroche, Mullings are the heart and soul, outside of them everyone else might make a play here and there. But who knows, they Might be able to make a run?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-5394723762197828842012-02-12T18:39:00.721-07:002012-02-12T18:39:00.721-07:00I think the worst loss was UTEP in El Paso, and ge...I think the worst loss was UTEP in El Paso, and getting blown out by UNM in Las Cruces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-12654228704754475362012-02-12T16:56:03.937-07:002012-02-12T16:56:03.937-07:00JY not so much?

Did you forget the game winner at the buzzer in Hawaii, or the jumper in Babbitts grill in the tournament, or scoring 15 of our last 20 to beat Fresno State w Paul George in overtime? He was as good a closer as I can remember NMSU having in the recent era. <br /><br />Anyway, to your original point, great game by Hernst, and two of the best coaches we've faced this year ( Morrill and Alford) have both said that he is the heart and soul of our team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-31796623588619058382012-02-12T13:33:09.199-07:002012-02-12T13:33:09.199-07:00Yeah, Hernst is the only guy who wants the ball in...Yeah, Hernst is the only guy who wants the ball in his hand at the end of the game. You gotta figure they sweep Idaho too if not for the bs charge call. Gibson was always hungry for the ball in crunch time (recall beating Jaycee Carroll for the WAC title his freshman year). JY, I don't think so much. But Hernst fears no one and deserves all of his career milestones. Not sure 1,000 rebounds for WMc and HR mean as much in the current configuration of the WAC (compared to when all the Mtn West teams were in the WAC). I'm thinking of Kenny Thomas averaging 10 rebounds for his career in a helluva good league.<br /><br />That said, Aggies were sunk by UTags run if Wen doesn't hit those two consecutive treys, despite the great shooting by Aggie wings in the first half. Worst loss of the season were the So. MS games and especially in Anchorager where they blew a shot at Murray State.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-1192228868715159452012-02-12T13:03:07.458-07:002012-02-12T13:03:07.458-07:00Nice win in Logan over a not-so-good Utag team.
