Really need at least one win on this road trip. Really could use 2-0 but 1-1 would be okay.

you just dont deserve to win when you shoot 2-19 from 3

we are lucky this isn't a double digit game, though it will probably end up being one

 

[sWiley]

picked a good time to put some through the basket. Weston only person who can buy a 3 tonight. NMSU might want to stay on him

Good win on the road. Man that 3 point shooting was atrocious untill Weston stepped up in the second half.

Very clutch. I've been impressed with Weston this year to be honest. I was pretty unhappy with his play to start the year but he has definitely proven me wrong. He is our X factor and when he gets going we have a chance in every game we play.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Way to dig down deep and get a crucial win. Down 7 with 8 minutes to go and comeback to win by 5. Weston was unstoppable tonight. Sets up these next 3 games. If we win out, regular season championship could be ours.

We could finish anywhere from 1-5. Right now sitting at 3rd, and we very well could end up in a 3 way tie for 1st. Who knows.

Defense kept us in the game. Then Cam gets hot in the last several minutes and seals the win.

 

[altshauf]

I’ll be honest guys, I could see any 1 of 8 teams winning the CUSA tourney. I could see 7 winning a game in the NCAA tourney, and I could see 4 getting out of the first weekend. Of course it’s all about how you play on one night, but this league is stacked!
