SMC/New Mexico State Aggies

[Nevada Don]

SMC bench vs NMSt: 65 minutes, 21 pts, 14 rb, 3 ast

GU bench vs TSU: 58 minutes, 29 pts, 17 rb, 9 ast

And by the way, SMC doesn't have a "bench". Apparently we have "folding chairs" so perhaps that might explain our less than stellar performance from our "folding chairs."

...SMC played a good team and couldn't maintain a lead without Landale on the floor. The Zags are going to throw waves of bigs at Jock (J3, Killian, Jacob, Rui). Landale's going to foul, going to sit, and SMC is going to lose. (Still really like the Gaels, though.)

Did the Gaels bring in that 7-1 center they redshirted last year? Expected to see him play a lot, but don't remember seeing him. (Was switching back and forth between the SMC & USF games.)

The 7'1" RSF is Jock Perry. Note, most all of our future centers from Australia must be named "Jock." Jock2 played sparingly in both games. Our backup for Jock1 is junior Jordan Hunter.

I'm sure Jock1 is already scared and nervous about having to go against all the Zag Bigs. We'll try to calm him.

May I suggest a double serving of Vegemite?

I used to hate on SMC but don’t any more. I will say though that I don’t have any sympathy for them when they miss the tournament because they put all of their eggs in one basket every year. They are a good program that should make the tournament every year with an at-large bid, but they fail to show the rest of the country how good they really are by failing to play good teams in OOC portion of their schedule.

I am of the opinion that they should play a preseason tournament every year if they have a hard time finding good home-and-home opponents.

To spare the confusion, may I also call Jordan Hunter “Jock?.”

The post position at SMC is now simply referred to as 'the Jock'

Par for the course in Moraga.

I have texted him or Tweeted him or something and have requested he change his name to Jock3. Reverting with his reply.

I agree with you that the Gael scheduling sucks and the VAST Majority of Gael fans think likewise.

The Gaels have in the past and will again this year play in a Tournament. As you may recall we were barred from participating in any Tournaments (except the WCC) for a period of 2-3 years because a) some short term rogue coach gave a kid some SMC gear, etc and b) we are not named Duke or North Carolina.

SMC will play in The Wooden Legacy starting with Harvard I believe on November 23rd. I think San Diego State is in there too.

Not the Gaels' fault that Cal appears to suck so far.

Their OOC automatically improved once they were cleared to play tournaments.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if both the Zags and Gaels go 17-1 in conference. There's a couple of teams that could spoil that, such as USF.
