Long Beach St.

I think they have to play Texas tonight and then travel and play us Monday night.

they are on 2 game losing streak. likely lose tonight at TX (making it 3).  they'll come out hungry Monday night.  we can't afford another slow start.

They also hit about 40% of their threes...that's caused problems for us.

0-5 on the road. They are on almost a 2 week road trip collecting checks. They are a decent team. We are going to be rested. We have that as advantage. Have to win.

I'll admit I haven't seen them play yet but I don't think their 5-7 record tells the whole story here. Has anyone looked at their schedule so far? It is brutal and they've played some really good teams pretty tough. look at this lineup! plus they shoot 20 threes a game at hit at a 39% clip...i wouldn't overlook these guys

at BYU (scored 90 points in a 5 point loss)
at Xavier (got crushed)
Kansas State (won by 9)
at UCLA (lost by 14)
Washington (lost in double OT)
Xavier again somehow (won by 3)
at San Diego State (lost by 1)
at Texas (lost by 10)

They had the lead in the second half against a very good Texas team.  This will be a tough game.

Currently Long Beach St is at #4 in terms of strength of schedule.  This is going to be a tough game.

I do like the fact that they just played yesterday @ Texas.  Hopefully they come in tired!

Our defense on 3-point shooting has been absolutely tremendous this year. Opponents are shooting just 25.9% against us from 3.

that's been a huge reason for our success imo.   And i think it comes from playing the smaller lineup.    Instead of Sanchez/Sampson closing out on a shooter... it's Dom or Rysheed. 

LBSU consistently plays one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country. They won't be intimidated in the least. Need to crush their spirits early

Rysheed Jordan has the flu and won't play today per #sjubb. Won't be on bench either. At home resting.

Obviously not good news by any stretch but still think we win this one. Myles will have to play some solid minutes tonight, would like to see him with Felix mixed in a bit as well.

Brutal timing with Sheed.

Has 2nd semester already begun? as in JDR playing already, does that mean Sheed is no longer able to transfer 2nd semester?

He is not transferring. Please people don't stir that stuff up again or condone others who do because they want to focus on something other than their own teams piss poor season.

Anyone know where to watch the game online? stuck at work but would like to watch some of it. Can't find a feed to CBS Sports.

your right . But as soon as I read it ,I thought of Baldi and his comments, and it made me think about a possible problem w Sheed.

my thoughts exactly.

Damn, I was feeling a big game from sheed tonight. 

Early, but I love our ball movement so far.
