“SHOOTING HOOPS”
========
Comments about all things college basketball:

AZTECS..The news about as good as it could be on Magoon Gwath, SDSU’s budding superstar.  A hyperextended knee-yes.  No bone bruise, no torn meniscus, no torn ligament, no knee surgery.  Week to week status-rest-rehab-get him ready for MWC tourney.

SHOOTING GUARD…Miles Byrd is banged up.  A hip issue and a thumb issue.  Uncertainty shooting shots.  The reason his scoring has gone from 16PPG to 9PPG in two weeks and why he is shooting 31% from the floor.

HELP WANTED…So how do you play vs New Mexico, Wyoming, Las Vegas the next 3-games.  Insert Miles Heide in the paint, move Jared Coleman Jones to shooting forward, and run every guard you have out there to disrupt teams in their backcourt.  Fouls to give, then use them.  Make it ugly ball, but the only way to win is to grind on people and if it has to be 38-33, then so be it, as long as it is a win.  SDSU guards need to carry the mail from now till MWC tourney time.

NEXT MAN UP…Your name is Taj DeGourville, or Demarshay Johnson, or Kimo Ferrari or Pharo Compton.  Time to step up and play consistently to make a difference with this team so shorthanded.  We have seen flashes from them.  They need to show up everytime they go to the scorer’s table to check into a game starting vs the Lobos.

LOBOS..New Mexico in town, last seen running up a big score, running SDSU out of the Pit in Albuquerque.  Take a close look, it might be the last time you see Richard Pitino at UNM.  Good coach.  Great bloodlines.  Lots of recruiting contacts.  Just not alot of assets at New Mexico to keep this program at its level.  Likely to leave for a head coaching job in the Power 4-basketball world.  It’s just a tough place to coach and recruit too.  It’s weird, it’s like the Lobos, New Mexico State and UTEP are aligned together, not just geographically, but also structurally, all  off the beaten track, all with the same shortcomings, trying to compete in Division 1-Athletics.  All-real-have nots, and that is sad.
