SFA (8-5,1-1) vs. UT-RGV (4-9,0-2)

WHEN: 1/4 (THU) 12:00P.M.
WHERE: UTRGV Fieldhouse (Edinburg, TX)
WATCH: ESPN+


The SFA Lumberjacks have a midday game to start the new year and the main portion of the WAC schedule. The Jacks begin with the Vaqueros of UTRGV down in the valley. The trip down south is the hardest thing on paper about the game, but these Jacks have yet to catch a rhythm.

The Vaqueros are in the bottom 10% of the NCAA in most statistical categories. They are one of the worst 3 point shooting teams, they cannot protect the post and they send teams to the free throw line. Like last year, Elijah Elliot is still their best player. While they have played some teams close, they don't have a good win this year.

The Jacks are looking to have their first 4 win winning streak (granted one of those was Paul Quinn). This should be a repeat of the UNO game. Can we get a full 40 minutes from the team? Will we get consistent efforts across the board or will half the team be on while half the team is off?

This is a game to get us into positive territory in the WAC standings. We start January with four teams in a row with losing records that are at the bottom of the WAC. It's time to build confidence before Seattle and GCU come to Nac later this month.

Axe 'em!

UTRGV bigs are slow. Still, they are big. We can't have 28% FG rate. Should be easy, but nothing comes easy for a team that hasn't established a strong pattern.

I think we get the win. Hopefully it isn't a 2nd half rumble.

we shouldn't be doing that at this point in the season. Weak lob passes won't work in high school.

Slow starts are our thing. Settle in and play.

We don't have a dedicated ticket thread yet this year, but I've got family in if anyone wants to donate tickets to tonight's women's game.

This team stinks,

UTRGV having their most efficient game of the year. Ugh.

Another slow start.

Someone on here has been touting the skills of Jenkins. You are correct Sir! Maybe if he were starting, we wouldn't be digging ourselves out of a first half hole each game…just an idea

We finally scored with a good shot as time ran out in a half!

Uninspiring first half…have a come to Jesus meeting in the locker room…blow out UTRGV in the 2nd half.

Much better ball security in the latter part of the half, but 13 turnovers is unacceptable. Nana has been very good and I like Cajuste and Jenkins attacking the basket.

Jenkins for Hayman as a starter. I like Hayman's defensive intensity, but way too inconsistent offensively.

Missing lots of shots under the bucket

We are garbage in close. Yikes.

How many uncontested or barely contested drives to the dadgum basket are we going to give up?!?! Pitiful defense on drives.

Our team reminds me of the Church of Laodicea, neither hot nor cold (tending toward cold). Makes you want to spit.

I've been working and not able to watch the game but if we're going biblical on the references I'm just gonna assume it's not going well.

I was at the University of Houston vs. Penn game on Saturday. Compared to the 8-9 pure athletes that UH can run out there, coming home and watching this version of my beloved Jacks is rather depressing. (Don't hate me for saying that. It's just the truth.)

A lot of this is shot making. We don't have a Kalcheries or Kensmil. Not the most athletic, but could make shots.

Need more players like Staine.

7 point win on the road just like we drew it up.

Bad news: 20 turnovers and missing multiple shots at the hoop. Good news: 80% on free throws, Nana and Frank Staine.

Nana 6 for 6 with 6 rebounds. I know there's lots of Nana doubters but he has stepped up his game significantly this year.

Agreed. 100%. Beaubrun made a nice dunk toward the end . Other than that , Beaubrun and Southwick didn't offer much.

That was ugly, but I'm not mad about it. I'm well on the way to the bargaining stage.

  • denial.
  • anger.
  • bargaining.
  • depression.
  • acceptance
