USU vs NMSU and Festivities

I know I promised a Jared Quayle feature and then I read some really great articles on him and I don't think I would do him justice so you will just have to read them on our own. The first one is from the Athletic Website here. The second one is from the Salt Lake Tribune here . The third is found in the Cache Valley Magazine, which doesn't have a good website and so you will just have to take my word on it that it was a good article.

The Game.
It was a little scary at the beginning and I was kinda worried. We had a very miserable shooting precentage to start the game. Then came Nate Bendall and Tai Wesley. They were powerful down under and they sure know how to do an effective post move. Ahh, I love post moves. Thank goodness we had them because it was not the best of nights for 3-pointers. I thought the Aggies played out of there mind. There were some sketchy calls and a "T" called on a NMSU player. I thought the aggies played well through those tough times. Jared Quayle never stops amazing me. Holy Cow, what a player. Actually what a team these guys are. I especially liked this sign I saw in the Spectrum(photo courtesy of http://www.cachevalleydaily.com/sports)

The Aggies came back from half time ready to put the game away! It was amazing to witness the Aggies take control of the game and show that they deserve to be in the NCAA tournament. Coach Morrill thinks so too, here is what he said, " I firmly believe that if you win 14 straight league games to win your conference championship and your league is ranked 10th out of 30-plus conferences, you should be in, I don't care what happens next week, you should be in." I think that is straight forward!

Festivities.
The Students stormed the court and the boys cut down the net! That was the second time I have witnessed something so amazing. They even had Wild Bill cut a piece. They crowd was great, despite what people have expressed in Letters to the Editor this passed month or so. I love Aggie Basketball and It is pretty 'A'mazing!

All-Wac Teams
Jared and Tai were named the the first Team.
Nate Bendall and Brian Green were named to the All-Newcomer Team
Pooh Williams was finally named to the All-Defensive Team.
Last but not least Coach Morrill was named the Coach of the Year, second year in a row.
