New Mexico State Aggies
- Thread starter farm85
- Start date
I used to watch quite a few New Mexico State games late at night as they would replay them on the "Root Sports Channel". I had a whole pile of sports channels on the DirecTV sports package. I was always impressed by their scrappy playing. I know they seldom play a ranked team but they always win a lot of games. They had a heck of a game this year down at UT Rio Grande. Won by 3. Then played them again in the tourney championship and won by 3 again in two overtimes. They closed their season out on a 17 game winning streak. They are tournament worthy.

Link to the Aggies website. This one shows statistics for the season. Can also find rosters, etc
If I am reading this correctly, it looks like their average attendance at home games is 599. Maybe that means more tickets for Cyclone fans..

Having seen them play a couple times, and looking at their stats, I anticipate either a box and one, or some junk zone, as they really only have one main player that shoots the 3 well. I also bet we see Bridget and Kristin posting up quite a bit.

Not to be nitpicky, but 11.2 is closer to doubling 4.6 than tripling it.
The Aggies deserve to be respected as this is THE Tourney. But if what we have seen during the WBB season is used as a metric, the Aggies will be lucky to stay within 15. We will go further in the Tourney if we have a couple players step up after Bridget and Alexa.
Salas is probably going to have Alexa, or more likely Maddie, guard her. Maddie works so hard on D that her Offensive output suffers.

In RPI, the Big XII is #3 and the WAC is #30. ISU RPI is 11 and NMS RPI is 125. But, we all know that there is reason they play the games. Shots fall, or not and injuries can happen. It gets tough in a hurry. RPI No. 18 DePaul would love to play in the Chicago Regional game, but more about them later.
they won their conference and tournament, and have demonstrated work ethic and snappiness, on paper it should be an easy game, but taking a scrappy fighting style of team lightly is a mistake.
Iowa looks to survive. Gustafson was 14 for 16 on field goals...rest of team 14 for 35
UWGB at that time was a basketball power. They weren’t a second level team by any measure.
Honestly I take issue with ISU doing its rally during the other game.
Different scenario entirely. Green Bay was the #10 team in the country at the time and we were gifted a game at Hilton as a preselected host site. Green Bay was pissed at having 7 seed and playing a road game at Hilton. We were a 10 seed getting to play at home! Truefully it was a screw job on them although they proved themselves by betting us anyway only to get the big reward of playing the 2 seed. Really was not an upset at all
We are back to the Top 16 hosting openers again this year so we weren't gifted home opening rounds in the same way as 2012 and are not playing a better team on our home court.
We didn't have much of a chance in that game.
Point was we didn't even give 2 Seed UWGB a game. I sat through that one wondering how a team out of The Horizon could take it to us at home so bad. Just saying be prepared.
