If the Falcons went 8-8 and finished maybe 5th in the league, they would have to be considered the surprise team of the MWC. They were picked eighth of nine teams by the media in the preseason, and most people thought six wins would be pretty close to a best-case scenario.<BR/>And think about this: 8-8 would be only a two-game drop off from last season when AFA set a school record for victories but finished 10-6 in conference.<BR/>As for the refs -- there were some pretty bad calls the other night, but I've thought the quality of the officials' work this season has been consistently crummy. And I don't think by any stretch the refs cost AF the game.<BR/>Carrying is a point of emphasis for refs right now, so maybe that's part of why Anderson got called for it against NM. I thought it was an understandable call at first, and David Ramsey, sitting right next to me, thought it was bad. After the replay, it was clear he was right and I was wrong.<BR/>The lesson, as always, never disagree with the old sage of The Gazette.jake.schallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439348723374256770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056953216725180581.post-70152937912781286772008-02-21T17:34:00.000-07:002008-02-21T17:34:00.000-07:00Jake,Your blog's are on target and as good as alwa...Jake,<BR/><BR/>Your blog's are on target and as good as always. I don't know why the cadets are staying away. There is a core group of cadets that comes to games, and a core group of season ticket holders that come, but the rest of the 'fans' are disappointing. The guys play good basketball, there should be more fans in the stands rooting them on...and yes, the players do do more at an Academy than most Div 1 program contemporaries and in that light, folks should be proud and supportive of where the program is right now.<BR/><BR/>Name me another Div 1 program that has 20 win seasons year after year that's not located in North Carolina? We've had great success and are poised to continue that success, I wish the fans would come out and see our guys effort and results.<BR/><BR/>What did you think about the refs last night? They seemed very inconsistent to me but I may be biased. I thought they were really protecting New Mexico and trying to ensure the MWC has 3 teams vying for the NCAA. What was the line on the game? Did one of the refs have an outside interest? (how's that for conspiracy theory?). Just a few recollections burned in my brain, Tim's carry call on a break-away? Gimme a break! Tim gets janked down by the jersey, no call. JR Giddens gets "touched" and its a foul...boo!! Am I seeing the game through eyes too biased?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your coverage of AF BB and FB, its always good and insightful!Mackenzie Blockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289827036161235433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056953216725180581.post-52874985137601506522008-02-21T14:47:00.000-07:002008-02-21T14:47:00.000-07:00Very true about CSU being a trap.

They need to win that one, make a good showing against BYU on the road, then hold serve at home the last two. <BR/><BR/>It's a tall order, but if they do all that, they'll have a .500 record in league. You'd have to consider that a successful season given what they lost and the low preseason expectations. In fact, looking over the entire history of AFA basketball, that would qualify as one of their better seasons ever!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
