i understand that kingscorpio, just wanted to hear some reasoning.
UNC, any thoughts on taking LSU tomorrow, I think its a good spot for them, and they cant be as bad as theyve been playing.
Is that line a joke? Bama should not be laying this many to anyone. I gotta look more into that one but that game may round out my card. Good look buddy.
NM PK (20U)
Balance.
In years past as you can see BYU has owned them. Alford finally has balance on this team since the Granger days.
You go through BYU schedule and IMO the stats are decieving. Sure they have played NEB out of the BIG 12 and a couple teams out of the PAC 10 but these teams are soft and not very good as we have seen. The best defensive team and probably the most fundamental offensive team they faced was UTAH ST. Now I am not saying NEW MEX is great at defense and rebounding because they are not. They are ver avg and have played like it at times. But they have played DAY, CAL, TTECH, and TAM which in my eyes is a tougher out of conference schedule then what BYU has faced. I think they are a little bit more battle tested playing against a varitey of teams that all like to play fast just the way BYU likes to play. So it should be nothing new in which should be a heated game.
The bench of New Mexico is what makes this team go when they come in and produce they are very tough to beat the last 4 games the bench of New Mexico is avg 22 and 12. You dont get that out of most teams and when you do that throws a wrinkle in for opponents. Not to mention the shooting is starting to heat up again for NM shooting 45% from the field and 43% from 3. They should get a ton of good looks in which should be a chaotic pace.
In all reality it comes down to New Mex D. If they can contain the 3 ball and execute off BYU mistakes they will win this going away. I am betting with it being a amped up game BYU is ripe for a letdown and is going to get smacked in the face right from the get go due to the soft schedule they have played.
Yes the Pit is a big part of this too as you said with NM being 626-145 all time. 90-13 since the 04 season. 3-0 vs ranked opponents this season and the Red out wont hurt either.
Its my biggest concern but this wacky shit we bet on teams go to whole other level when things of this magnitude are presented. For example SC. If your a stat guy then the only way to play is BYU as NM gives no reason to back them besides home court. .
