[Wildcat Ryan]

Weber couldnt buy a basket in the second half, and we turned it over too many times,

We play like that in our rematch with St. Mary's tonight and they will eat us for dinner.

Oh well a win is a win 4-0

[Screamin_Eagle174]

How fun was it calling them the Rainbows?
Looks like UH will fit right in with the Big West.

After giving Washington State hell in the last game (and having the refs take that game over for them), The Hornets rallied from being down 17 in the first half to win by 8 over the farm extension. The win moves the Hornets to 3-1 with a game against McNeese State at home on Saturday. It was a gutsy win and the Hornets are shaping up to have a decent backcourt.

We pounded them Rainbows into skittles.

Davis doesn't look good at all. I have a feeling were going to curbstomp them in Cheney on Sunday.

Beat 'em by 20, but it could've been a lot more.

[clenz]

What the **** is UNC doing shooting 68% from the 3 point line against UNI today? Damn...without doing that UNI wins by 20+

That's kind of a dumb statement. Because we shot well from behind the arc we didn't get blown out? Think about what you're typing there frat boy.

UNC shot 65% from the three point line.

If they shoot their average for the season (45%, which incluces the UNI game, and about 41% without that UNI output) that takes 12-15 points off the board for UNC....That turns a 9 point loss into a 22-25 point loss there boss...I'd call a 20+ point loss a blow out.

My statement is 100% correct. Had that not happen UNI wins by 20+

We dropped a huge halftime lead on Saturday. Not a good way to head into a 3 game road trip (@ Cal Poly, @ Oklahoma, @ Bako).

[Wildcat Ryan]

Holy crap, a nip and tuck game turns into a blowout, how very dissapointing. Foul trouble and not making you own freethrows will kill you on the road.

You can say that about any stat. We shot well, therefore it wasn't a blowout.

[SDHornet]

The Hornets had a complete no-show at Cal Poly losing in what has become a typical embarrassing fashion under Katz. 77-51 Final.

Kyle Bullinger is out for Weber with a bad injury, dont know the extent of it, but I saw the video and it was nasty.

Its too bad, we need him for tomorrow's game vs BYU

[frinq]

Too bad about Bullinger, if true. On the other hand, he didn't contribute much in the last couple games.....
