STILL O-FOR-THE ROAD IN WAC PLAY......BUT EVEN WORSE AT HOME
Men's Basketball
After that glorious revenge game against San Jose St., the Hoop 'Dogs traveled to Boise, ID where they proved once again that winning on the road in conference will happen sometime after Guns N Roses releases Chinese Democracy. The final score was 65-61, Broncos, and the team played without the suspended Ja'Vance Coleman. It's hard to imagine how missing practices was seen as more egregious than Coleman's abysmal shooting this season, but if I had known that that was all it would take to leave his empty pea-shooter behind, I would have kidnapped Ja'Vance several weeks ago. Alas, FSU still lost on the road, but how many injuries were prevented with none of Coleman's bricks falling out of the Boise sky?
Next came a home game against Louisiana Tech, again without Coleman. Quinton Hosley scored 19 points and Eddie Miller nailed five of his 10 three-point attempts en route to a 17-point performance as the 'Dogs won 70-64. That improved FSU's record to 15-6 overall while evening their WAC record at 4-4.
What happened next can hardly be described accurately with just words and pictures. In a nutshell, the Fresno State basketball team watched tapes of the football team's game against Utah St. last fall and basically followed suit. In a game that set the Hoops program back at least 25 years, Fresno State manged just 12 first-half points, then went on to finish with a 22% shooting performance and a 54-42 loss to Hawaii. At home. It was a meeting of the Bricklayer's Local 0.22. McGuire - 4/12, Hosley - 3/11, Coleman (re energized after serving his suspension)- 1/7, Hernandez - 1/4.
And the newly elected head of the Bricklayer's Union: Eddie Miller. Two for 15 from the field. 0-10 from three-point range.
Remember when Tark was here and dumbshits who thought they were going to catch some of his poisonous pixie dust would say ignorant things like "shooters just keep shooting"? They supposedly will eventually shoot themselves out of it. Just like magic! Because shooters aren't ballhogs, they're BLESSED ballhogs. They have a gift. The gift of not having a conscience while lofting the ball from geographic areas that still haven't been mapped while totally ignoring their teammates. In the Tark system, that's a virtue. Terence Roberson could go 0-40 in the first half and Jack Fertig and John Anabo and Bill Woodward and all those hopeless Tark Enablers would say that same old sorry-ass line.
Well, against Hawaii, the shooters definitely needed to shoot. Themselves.
I can't do any better than this:
Matt James' Column
I'm not a huge Matt James fan but if you haven't read this already, you need to. It's a dose of truth serum for anybody who's still thinking NCAA's.
Next up: at Idaho tonight. Back with an update when it's over.
