Thursday Early Look

[Scotty H]

I see 2 games that have caught my eye for tomorrow.

UTEP PK
SMU -2-

UTEP playing really good ball right now and is in the drivers seat to win WAC title. Fresno St has strugled recently and has susspended two players indefentitly. Heres the article form covers:

FRESNO, Cal if. -- Fresno State senior
forwards Renaldo Major and Jonathan
Woods were suspended indefinitely by
coach Ray Lopes on Tuesday for
violating team policies.

A statement from the school did not
indicate which policies were violated by
the players.

``There is no time frame for their
return,'' Lopes said in the statement.
``We have a lot of work to do to prepare
for Louisiana Tech and SMU this week,
and that is our focus.''

Lopes did not immediately return a telephone message left for him late Tuesday.

The Bulldogs next game is Thursday at Louisiana Tech.

Fresno State (10-8, 6-3 Western Athletic Conference) has lost three of its last four
games.


SMU has played so so but San Jose has played terible. They have lost there last 10. Since the number is small(2-) I will go with SMOOO

Would like to here from others on what there thoughts are for tomorrows games.

without much research i like the home teams tomorrow, especially san jose st. to win. they've lost 12 straight but have closed the gap a bit. both teams are terrible offensively and s.j. is bit better at taking care of the ball. not fully backing this play but i just think the way you beat s.j. st is with big size or efficient offense, smu is neither! good luck...

Fresno St. has already played 2 games since they've suspended those players. For all we know they may suit up tomorrow.

I like UTEP also but what is the current status of these guys?

OK after doing some digging, it looks like they also have their 2nd leading scorer off the team (Pettis) for mouthing off to the coach.

Last 2 games went to Double OT but they had some role players step up and managed a split. Looks like this team's legacy will depend solely on their top scorer Legans as he is undoubtedly the backbone to that team.

Out of 21 games for UTEP this year they have played all but 6 at home, splitting the series on the road. I'll play UTEP for a Unit but I hope they're ready since they haven't been away from their place too often.
