#4 baby! I'm stoked for the big game wednesday especially now that CBS televising.

I've been saying since last year that we were a great basketball team but I never thought it'd come to this point. The chemistry of the team is so amazing. I guess I should've seen it coming because they all spend so much damn time together. It always seemed like Kawhi was the only one I'd see alone, not for a bad reason, but he was the one I'd see at the gym during the offseason in a weighted vest doing drills. Hopefully they can pull it out in that crazy BYU arena, keep Jimmer quiet and get the victory. DJ needs to step up again tonight and show he can compete with the best.

I didn't like seeing Notre Dame beat Pitt, and i'm sure not many expected it since Pitt wins 93% of their home games, in the 9 years they have called Petersen Events Center home, but I did/do have a love affair with Tyler Hansbrough, so it's only fair that I develop one on his little bro Ben.

I would never say SDSU is a great basketball team. To be quite honest, I don't think there is a great team in the country. Duke was with Irving in the lineup but since they've fallen back to the pack. Plus, who has San Diego State beaten? The two best teams from the WCC? I'm not saying they can't win tomorrow but I can't help but thinking this team is overrated.

Is a #4 ranking not great for a team that hasn't even won a tournament game in its history? Yeah we probably don't deserve our ranking but we haven't fallen to an easy opponent like most teams do. No big schools wanted to play us for some reason so we're stuck playing in the MWC and WCC. The theory in SD is that teams were scared to lose to us.

Wednesday is the real test, granted BYU might be overrated like us but they still deserve of a ranking and have the best scorer in college basketball right now. Not to mention we're going to their huge, sold out arena.

If you get CBS college sports and are up at 10 ET tomorrow then watch the game and see. It's hard to talk about a team when you haven't seen them.

Nah. BYU says a prayer before they start every game. He'll be protected.

I've seen San Diego State play before though so I don't know why you'd think I haven't. I'm not saying they're not having a great season, but they are NOT a great team. There's a big difference.

LMAO.....Im pretty sure a lot of players say prayers before games and still get hurt.
Well I'm sure each BYU player says a personal prayer before the game, BYU says a team prayer, even the whole audience is expected to participate. They do it out on court over a microphone.

Harrison Barnes is absolute garbage for 38 minutes of the game. But for the last 2...he's clutch as they come.
