Game is tomorrow night. NgaNga will have his chances. As much as we want him to get more minutes, the game still looks like its moving too fast for him more times than not. He is showing great potential though. Him fighting for a rebound and getting a bucket right afterwards is showing growth

Guess this can be the game thread too.  Hope the boys can start shooting better and pull away, a sloppy shooting half for us, only 27-26 at half.  We wouldn't want this to turn into another Cal-State Bakersfield fiasco that we had last hear.  CSUN is even worse, just 1-5.  Bakersfield is a better 3-3 right now.

Bit of a struggle for us in the first half. CSUN playing a very physical, scrappy style of defense making it difficult with their length to get clean looks. They are forcing the pace of the game to be very slow and methodical. Can tell our guys are getting frustrated with the slower pace and have just chucked shots up at times. Naje Smith still providing the juice, Shaver stuffing the stat sheet but outside of that nothing really to write home about. Going to need the guys to come out in the 2nd half with more energy to try and put this game away.

Well, we got a very sloppy win.  We will have to play a near perfect game with a hot shooting touch and strong defense if we will have a chance to beat Texas A&M in 4 days.

Well wont lie. Not a ton of positives to take away from this game other than just getting the win. Very sloppy on offense, defense wasn't the best IMO even the we gave up under 50 points. I thought CSUN actually executed plays really well when they had the ball but couldn't buy a bucket which I am very fortunate after watching our offense struggle bad tonight.

Shaver was very productive and continues to be a menace for opposing teams. I could be too critical here but tonight felt like one of Degenharts worst in his short career so far. I know he will bounce back but just didn't look like his usual confident self on offense. Whiting gave us some productive minutes off the bench but we are still lacking production from our centers/bench. Was hoping this would have been a game to see more of NganGa and Sylla but think with how the game was flowing Rice didnt seem comfortable to turn to them.

Box score says we only had 12 turnovers but if you told me we had 15+ I would have believed you. Just not a great game vs a team rated 300s in KENPOM. Maybe it was just one of those nights. Glad we came out with the win. This could have easily been the Bakersfield game from last season all over again with how it was trending.

One game to forget.  No flow.  BSU was off.  The fans were off (not much to cheer), even the refs seemed to have an off game.  Marcus Shaver finished with 19 on 5/13 from the floor, 19 the hard way.  Jace Whiting was the only bench player to make a positive impact.  Leon seemed to be concerned about the lack of impact play from the bench.  Next up is a “neutral site” game at Texas A&M on Saturday at 1700.  Will need a much better team performance if they want to win/compete.  Go Broncos!
