Tonight's WAC games – March 4, 2010

Hawai'i (10-18, 3-11) at Boise State (13-16, 3-11)
7 p.m. MST
Perhaps the most important game of the night because the loser will likely miss the WAC tournament. I would give the edge to BSU in this one.

San Jose State (14-14, 6-8) at Idaho (13-15, 4-10)
7 p.m. PST
ESPN Regional, ESPN 360
This one is a tough one to call. Idaho has improved a lot since the beginning of conference play.
San Jose has Adrian Oliver. The Spartans just edged Idaho in San Jose 78-75, so I say Idaho will come out on top of what should be a great game.

Louisiana Tech (22-7, 9-5) at Fresno State
7 p.m. PST
Will Fresno State show up to play tonight? If not, it's a big win for Louisiana Tech, still in the hunt for the No. 3 seed. La Tech may be without Kyle Gibson, but Fresno has been in the tank. I think La Tech wins.

New Mexico State ( 19-9, 11-3) at Nevada (17-11, 9-5)
7 p.m. PST
Huge game for both teams. Explain to me why it's not on TV? I think NMSUs depth will be the deciding factor, and the Aggies will come out on top in Reno for the second straight year.

Utags frazzle Fresno

Twenty-two.
That how many points Utah State (24-6, 13-2 Western Athletic Conference) scored before Fresno State (14-17, 6-9) scored a point.
That is also the field goal percentage Fresno State shot for the game Monday night in Logan when Utah State simply impounded the Bulldogs 76-39.
Conversely, Utah State shot better than 55 percent, had 25 assists to the Bulldogs 4 and won the turnover battle 16 to 9. There are more ugly numbers but I'll spare any Fresno State fans that read this blog the pain.
The Utags have been jumping on visitors early and not letting up.
The win gives Utah State at least a piece of the regular season conference championship for the third year in a row.
It's pretty simple for New Mexico State (19-9, 11-3) now. Win at Reno and in Logan and take the first seed in the tournament. Split the road trip and finish second. Lose both games and finish third unless Louisiana Tech (22-7, 9-5) wins at Nevada (17-11, 9-5).
