Christmas Day..

[Box and one]

USC -4 over New mexico St **
Not sure how much is left with the Aggies after upsetting Miami ..are their heads swollen or are they inspired...not a great shooting team but Lofton was POY of SWAC conf lyr...Harris is he 5'9 scorer and pt gd from Ohio St..Chula is a top fd back from last yr..they don't have much size but they have a talented front court and solid backcourt..and play great defense...their coach Jans who was fired from B-Green has been at Wichita St the past few years. as an asst..they beat UTEP and New Mex twice already...lost to St Mary and SD...
USC can score and its 2 top scorers are inside players which is rare...Boatwright and Metu..both are 6'10 and 6'11..they also have one of the best pt gds in the PAC 10 or 12..in McLaughlin..he has 93 assists and avg 13 pts... their other gds Stewart and Mathews are pretty good...this yeam has some talent but they lost to Smoo,OU and Texas Am...and just lost to Princeton in OT...not sure what Enfield is doing but no way should he lose to Princeton..they also have Rakv off the bench who is 6'11...they rebound better,shot better,can hit the 3...Aggies shoot 3's at 31% ranking them 303 and are one of the worst FT% in the country shooting 62 %...USC has inside advantage and a solid gd...think the bubble burst today for NM St...not a strong play because I think Enfield is a little over rated coach...maybe he should just pound the ball inside...
Merry Christmas to everyone... I got a 55 '' Samsung TV for a gift...nice gift after hinting for 3 years

1st of all I'm going to take this win...was it ugly..yes...was I lucky ...yes...not sure of the basketball IQ of both teams....Aggies up 6 with 4 minutes..up 4 with 2 minutes and the ball...USC climbs back in...ties the game..goes up 2 .they do hit all its FT's down the stretch...tie score..not sure 4-5 seconds left USC's Boatright hit a 3...up 3 with 4 seconds..damn..going to lose by 1...Aggies call time out...out of bounds..baseball pass the full length of the court..intercepted by USC and Aggies foul with 2 seconds...USC hits the 1st one..I'm happy its a push because I have no business winning htis...then the 2nd foul shot good...USC up 5 with 2 seconds left...New Mexico St I don't think even got a shot off,intercepted again... I win and cover...not sure of how..but USC i think made 6-6 FT's which really saved me...again ugly and lucky but I'll take it..
