USU vs Fresno (High)

Well, that was a game a Fresno player and or fan would love to forget. 22-0! The students got to chant "Up by 20-2". It felt so cool. Who has ever heard of a score like that?! I just laughed the whole game, they couldn't hit a shot to save their lives. It took them 10 minutes to score their first basket.

It actually doesn't surprise me that they could score against an amazing defense because Fresno does not run 1 set play I don't think. It is insane, literally they would got down the court pass once they whoever got the pass would shot some crazy shot. Usually resulting in a miss and an Aggie rebound. Here is a quote by there "star" player Paul Georg.
"We need to start playing more focused and start sticking to the game plan," Bulldogs forward Paul George said. "We've been doing that but we have some mishaps. And some possessions not everyone's on the same page. That comes down to us playing consistently. We know what we're supposed to do and how to carry it out."
I read the Refraction before they game and every issue they have a fake article making fun of the other team, but Fresno's article could have been completely true. Take a look here it is the first article on the top.

In a blow out win the Aggies could started playing horribly instead stuck together and never gave up on their energy in the game. They still executed and worked hard every possession. That is what I love about Aggie Basketball.

Following the game Sylvester Seay said this of Utah State,
"They have like 100 dang* plays, We can only go through so many of them. ... It's like taking a test and guessing what things the teacher's going to put on the test. You go out there and the teacher puts the opposite of what you studied. It's nobody's fault. It's just tough."
I love Aggie basketball. On the Aggie Basketball Forum they had an topic titled "What do you say in the line after the game to Fresno players?" So I took a look at it to see what it was about. Here are some of the the things they came up with:
  • Good game... for us.
  • Thanks for coming?
  • Try harder next time?
  • You really impressed me by coming out at half time.
  • Can't wait to play you guys again.
I thought they were pretty sweet. Good old Aggie fans.

The Ags play on Saturday against NMSU, if they win (which I think they will) the Aggies will win the WAC for the 3rd straight year. We all ready have a piece of it this year but I think we can do it. At least that is what I got from coach and player
"I asked them if they wanted to cut down the nets, because they have a share of it," USU head coach Stew Morrill said. "They want to try and win it outright."

"We haven't won anything yet," said Aggie forward Tai Wesley,"We feel like we haven't won the WAC yet. We didn't cut down the nets. We want to get greedy. We want to win the WAC outright, and Saturday is when we are going to do that."
