Utah State

Official Game thread.

What are the thoughts on the game tonight?

Looking at their team, it looks like it will be much different than Monday night with Utah St. not having as much size as Ark. St. Might be faster paced and more exiting.

I'm looking for the Jacks to show a bit more improvement and hope for the W, although a close game to the end would be almost as important. Two solid home games will really help the future attendance.

Roads look to be clear this time and that could help the crowd. Look forward to my second game this year.

Re: Utah State

I'll be there. I'm still kicking myself for missing the game on Monday.

Should be a fun game. Hopefully attendance is a bit better. Blue Hat, keep the student attendance coming, even with sparse crowds, if the students are there and vocal Frost is a tough place to play.

Re: Utah State

Traditionally, Utah State has been a very methodical team on offense that will only play fast paced when there are good opportunities. They like to run their half court offense and get good shots out of it. They really try to control the pace of the game in the half-court. Their coach is very well-respected and is known for his detailed system. Not sure how this year's team is coming along as they graduated two very good frontline players and their starting and back-up point guards. Their starting two guard is very good and is scoring a bunch for them this year.

Re: Utah State

I will be there with my middle child. She is excited to see a game with dad. I'm hoping to see our second win of the season. I'm expecting to see a better performance than I did against Idaho.

Re: Utah State

I will be listening along with my husband and Kai's older brother Jamal
hoping for a good game but they do look big and some of them are 23 years old so they will be stroger I am thinking than some of our young guys ...oh well as long as they play with some heart eh ??

Re: Utah State

I know we can play it close with these guys. We have the team to pull of the unthinkable. Monday was a quiz, today is the exam. Even if we have a B performance and lose by a few, I think it gives the team more confidence in it's abilities. Now let's see if we can get Kai, Garrett, Thomas, Mark, and all the Freshmen in the system going and red hot for a long year. I'll see you at Frost.

Re: Utah State

We spoke to Kai last night and he told us they are very positive in their thoughts for tonights game...I always send him encouraging e-mails before game day

Re: Utah State

Hopefully the crowd will be more vocal tonight, even with 1,500 it should be louder than on Monday. Maybe with a W under the belt....

Re: Utah State

The students are vocal . We need more out of the Alums or at least more cowbell.

Re: Utah State

Many of these guys went on Morman Missions and thus we will see some more mature players on the court.
