Nelly junior Joseph may grab 25 boards. Donovan dent is the PG we should go all out for in the portal this off season.
Otherwise, it's a bunch of mid major guys. We should win.

How do we eliminate Donovan Dent? He's very efficient. 41.5% from downtown. Can we turn him over? I have some concen about tempo because they like to run. We need Benny to step out and drain some threes.
Sic Stevie on him. No help. As a team, the Lobos shoot 34.7% from 3. Could be a brick fest. On the other hand, their front line is long.

Guys I'm finally bringing this up. Since we've been doing these games threads days in advance, Marquette has sucked and lost.
We need to go back to making game threads 10 minutes beforehand and fighting over two of them to see which one wins.

In the 4 or so New Mexico games I have seen, Dent shoots a ton of mid range. (which I am sure will excite some of the scoopers) I think of Dent as a smaller, faster Kadary Richmond.

Quote from: JakeBarnes on March 17, 2025, 09:13:29 AMScoop needs to write a letter to Shaka now.
Not necessary...Shaka reads Scoop.
The Athletic picked Kam Jones as one of the tournament's 13 "most intriguing players," saying:
This only has a little to do with the part-time boxing, the podcasting, the flair for fashion and the fact that one of his best friends is the team chaplain. At one point, the 6-4 senior looked like a first-team All-America lock. He finished the regular season fifth in KenPom.com's player of the year ratings. But ... it didn't feel like that by the end? Because the Golden Eagles went 4-6 from Feb. 1 to the start of the Big East tournament, probably? And yet: Is there not some Kemba Walker-esque potential here, for a guy who posted career-highs in player efficiency rating (24.8) and assist percentage (38.5) going into the NCAA Tournament? Jones shot 40.6 percent from 3-point range as a junior and has dropped to 31.2 percent this season. The former was certainly a function of Tyler Kolek providing open looks; the latter still feels like a number that could aggress to a mean. In the regular-season finale against St. John's, Jones posted 32 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, taking 30 shots to get there and mixing in a couple head-scratching moments. That's a decent measure of the volatility here.

Funny enough, Dent has taken exactly 100 midrange shots this season. He has made 33 of them. It's even worse if you include shots between the FT line and at the rim where he's 8/26 on the season.
So yes, I would be very excited if Dent takes a lot of mid range jumpers against us. If hes getting to the rim that Ill get worried, particularly in transition.
Double post
I feel like we have a lot of bodies to throw at Dent to try to wear him down and neutralize him (Stevie, Chase, Zaide, Tre, Kam). I'm more worried about the big guy and the other randos that we will likely leave wide open. Can almost guarantee that one of them will go off from 3.

They're good. This isn't breaking news. It's essentially a pick 'em game. But we can absolutely do this. I believe in our guys despite our struggles. I also believe in Shaka and his preparation for this game.

Lobo fan here. He's going to get 20 and at least 10 assists/balls bounced off the head of a wide open teammate.
You just hope that Nelly doesn't score more than 15, Tru doesn't get hit, and we miss our 3's.
But even if nobody else steps up Dent is still capable of going for 40 and carrying the team himself. I don't think you can stop that either. Maybe voodoo?

To the note in the last paragraph: this fanbase has a lot of ghosts related to Ja Morant.
However, we didn't have Shaka's defense and a DPOY candidate in Stevie Mitchell. I think Dent v Mitchell/Ross is gonna be fun to watch. Mitchell is someone you NM fans might enjoy watching highlights of. He's a fun dude to watch play defense.

MU went through that a few seasons ago. You guys are legit. And it could end up being Dent and Jam Jones going for 30 each.
Most importantly, who is the Lobo who only made 27 3 ptrs during the regular season but will make 11 on Friday night?
That knows no boundaries as far as coaches or seasons. For Lobo fans, MU fans still have nightmares about Jean Felix, an Alabama forward, who had a career game against MU in the NCAA tournament 20 years ago. Since then, it is a punchline that someone from the opposing team no one has ever considered will make it rain from 3.
It happened to MU multiple times this season in conference. Rivera from DePaul. DuMont from Villanova. A season ago, Bizjack from Butler.
I have to believe that Sean is running the scout team and throwing lobs to Clark to simulate UNM's pick and roll offense.

Here's why stats don't matter when we're talking about mid majors.
Dent went 5-12 against the most comparable defensive team to Marquette. Marquette also has better guard defense then SJU. Dent will not go for 40. It'll be an impressive game for him if he hits 20 while shooting 43%.
Also to all the comps. Dent is NOT Ja Morant. Ja was a very clear top 5 pick in the NBA when MU faced him. Dent is predicted on some draft boards to go 59
If you're taking bets to see who plays the best guard game in this, look no further to the much more talented Kam Jones.
Boys let's stop fear mongering over someone who was beating up on the mountain west for half the year. Kam would have torched that league. Outside of St.Johns, the best teams they played are Utah state and Boise.

The Mountain West gets numerous teams in the tournament each year, but they largely perform to seed. The biggest exception was SDSU getting to the Final Four, but they did so as a 5-seed.

Quote from: #UnleashSean on March 18, 2025, 10:33:35 AMHere's why stats don't matter when we're talking about mid majors.
Dent went 5-12 against the most comparable defensive team to Marquette. Marquette also has better guard defense then SJU. Dent will not go for 40. It'll be an impressive game for him if he hits 20 while shooting 43%.
Marquette is 26 in Kenpom DRtg. Against the no. 24 defensive team, VCU, Dent had 40.
At St. Johns, Dent played better than Kam, with 6 assists to Kam's 1, and only 3 fewer points. Where the Lobos struggled against St. John's most was in rebounding (Nelly had just 4), but still did better than Marquette (-17 to -22). And I think we'll have the rebounding advantage over Marquette.
Who's comparing Dent to Ja Morant? I've never heard that comparison made. He's by no means an exceptional athlete like Ja. I'd say he's more like old-man Andre Miller.
If the refs let them play, the game's a toss-up. With a tight whistle, Marquette will be impacted more and the Lobos win by 7-12.
With Dent pretty much guaranteed 50 points against Marquette's lousy defense, I wonder if it's too late for Shaka to reject the NCAA bid and go to the NIT.
If he does that, and also punches one of his players in the face, it will make him a Marquette legend!

It's MU fans mentioning Ja Morant and worrying if this could turn out the same way as playing Murray State in the tourney did several years ago. There is some definite PTSD.

Yeah, I think it's me that started the Ja Morant line of thought. More just that Wojo's strategy was to collapse on him so he wouldn't score, but he killed us with his passing. It sounded like Dent had the potential to do the same.
Obviously he's not as good as Morant, but more along the lines on if he could have a similar impact.

Again, Wojo didn't have Stevie, Chase and Zaide at his disposal. And even if he did, Wojo wouldn't have known how to deploy them.
I am NOT saying Dent won't give us trouble. He seems to be a very good player capable of giving any opponent trouble. Just saying the personnel suggests different defensive strategy than the one Wojo used against Ja.

I don't think adjD is where you should be looking. Check out offensive TO%. Dent murders teams in transition and is average in the halfcourt. MU is elite at protecting the ball, 8th in the country. Yall havent played a team even close to that. Your best is your season opener against Nicholls state (48th). Next two are against Nevada (63rd). In 85 minutes against Nevada yall only forced 21 turnovers and barely won both games. 16 of your opponets rank in the bottom third of offensive TO%.
Basketball isn't played on paper, but I think you might have a harder time getting in transition than you usually do. If thats the case, I'm not sure if Dent will have the big game you're hoping for.
Seriously, NM is not a good match-up for us. Their front court is 6'9", 6'9" and 6'10". Their center Nelly Joseph is ranked #9 in the NCAA for defensive rebounding comparable to Tarris Reed at #13.
Donovan Dent at 6'2" is #23 in the nation in assists and shoots 40% from 3.
Tru Washingtion is ranked #35 in stl % and shoots 35% from 3.
Mustapha Amzil at 6'9" is another decent rebounder who shoots too many 3's given his 29% shooting percent.
Filip Borovicanin is their power forward/backup center at 6'9" who is ranked 431 nationally in Defensive Rebounding.
Bench also has size and some shooting skills.
We should win by 3 according to KenPom
Counterpoint, they are a great matchup for us. Their offense relies heavily on transition and we are top 10 in the nation at not turning the ball over.

Great. Also ...
Against the no. 61 defensive team, Boise State, on Feb. 19, Dent had 17 on 4-for-13 shooting, with 4 TOs as his team lost.
Ipso fatso, he's doomed against the #26 defensive team.
BTW, I actually don't believe that. Just showing that maybe it's kinda silly to make the kind of projection you did.

LOL.
New Mexico May certainly win but this "analysis" is something else.
The 7/10 and 8/9 matchups are supposed to be tough. I'd have been surprised if Marquette (or UNM) was a big favorite.
I'm a big-time optimist but I'm also realistic enough to know we could lose the same way we've lost several other games - by shooting poorly and by failing to secure defensive rebounds. But I also think if we shoot decently, take care of the ball the way we usually do and defend the way we can, we're good enough to beat UNM (and many other NCAAT teams).
Was looking at some pics from today's practice. I assume it has something to do with the angle but look at the size of Clark in this picture, even compared to Ben.

Who is 42 there on the left. He looks almost as tall. Ben looks further back. This picture is very deceiving.

More important how is your mid range shooting?
All I have to say is "we got this".
Never seen Dent except for clips but I know Kam is better.
sure, if they play a couple standard deviations above who they are, we might lose. But if we do too, they get beat. We are better, we will win.
We win, I'm going to quote this post and "Told you so"
We lose, say whatever you want cause I'll brood for two weeks and not read anything on scoop till November. ;)

I don't disagree with this. I was just responding to the argument that NM isn't good because we've been playing against "mid majors." I think a lot of the results yesterday once again showed that mid majors have athletes that can go toe to toe with majors (Drake, McNeese, UC San Diego, UNCW).
Thinking that Marquette is head and shoulders better than UNM, and that Dent isn't an All American caliber player (he was an honorable mention) who doesn't compare to Kam is just silly.
I guarantee you Shaka doesn't hold that view. I really expect it to be a close game, with Dent and Kam going back on forth putting on displays that will make great TV if nothing else.
My hope is Dent gets shut down like Tu Holloway. I'm not overly confident because of the other size matchups but I do think we have the defensive bodies to shut down Dent. Something we didn't have for Ja (was sacar his matchup? I can't recall).
If we lose, a very real possibility, it won't be Dent that beats us it'll be because a bunch of lanky guys turned Jop over a million times, blocked Stevie & Kam's layups, and we aren't hot from outside.

While it is a bit of an exaggeration, an announcer in Murray State's next game obviously was referring to Marquette when she came up with a zinger. "Notice how (the opponent) is guarding Murray State? They're NOT just collapsing 5 players on Morant."
Ouch!Wojo called a T.O. early in the 2nd half and obviously told the team something like "damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead."
This one is setting up to be the game of the weekend.

If Josh has really grown to 10'4" as it appears, let's play him tonight. It'll be worth a full year of eligibility

Who would you rather have, Kam or Dent. Experts would say Kam.
Who would you rather have, Stevie or Tru. Experts would say Stevie. Stevie is the better defender, and on paper the better 3 pt shooter 36.3% to 35.3% (Tru shoots ~ 1 more 3 per game).
On paper we should win. Game is decided on the floor.
But the claiming this is a bad/good draw doesn't matter. You will have to beat good teams in March, period.

Dent deserves the 2nd Team AA selection; Cam should have been the honorable mention. You were right; I was wrong. You're good looking; I'm not attractive. New Mexico is beautiful, Wisconsin has cheese."
Yes, I'm going to be the bigger man and not say any of that.

First, it's Kam, and no. You're wrong there.
Also, I think your win killed George Foreman, so you've got that on your conscience!
But for real. You guys should gloat. Our team played bad ball, and you guys won.
Congrats. Go win the whole thing. Despite what some others around here will say, you guys are easy to root for.

Scratch that. I'm going to have to hope for the bad karma of charging for a message board and the cold hard truth that they are soooo much better than a "mid major" team from a state that doesn't sound like they are members of the union.
