Will the Broncos pull an Upset?

xiaoxue · 11-01-06, 06:13 AM

People are finally beginning to notice a brutal pre-season that begins at UCLA Nov. 2. (Maybe students just woke up and realized getting a ride to an away game AND a ticket for what you pay for a Starbucks is a deal?)

We play at UCLA, at LMU, at USC. What are your predictions?

lakdod · 11-01-06, 07:09 AM

The odds of the Broncos beating any of these teams are
UCLA <1%
USC 9%
LMU 35%

you're probably right. if steve wachs were not over on the lion bench knowing coach k.'s schemes i might rate that one a decent shot. the homer in me still says we surprise there just as we did twice in the past three tries down at USD.

the bruins and trojans are WAAAY too quick and athletic. but nice places to play and see high quality ball for almost nothing. pass the nachos and order me another cold one...something we never could do at kellogg gym.

Broncos must beat Loyola Monday night for this poll to hold true.
Anybody got an expected score?
Can we keep it close?

lakdod · 11-05-06, 10:48 PM

60-59 broncos. I think Dion will not shoot as bad he did against UCLA. I will be listening to the game from my computer so my opinion on the game will be based on the brodcast.

xiaoxue · 11-06-06, 07:13 PM

am listening to webcast. loyola is staring a seven footer and a 6-9 guy so huge size advantage.

booker is not starting? huh?

four bronco turnovers on first four possessions. ugh.

lakdod · 11-06-06, 07:35 PM

started off with 4 turnovers is bad but they are doing a good job rebounding in the beginning of the game.

jayandbutton · 11-06-06, 07:53 PM

broncos had a chance to take the lead with ball at 14-13 but a turnover and then a scoring drought led to 37-21 lead at half. that means lions go 23-8 run after strong start.

too many turnovers.

lakdod · 11-06-06, 08:21 PM

i agree to many turnovers in the first half. They start off slow in the second half but they are on a 8-0 run right now. Booker is having another good game.

jayandbutton · 11-06-06, 08:36 PM

broncos just cut it to nine at 47-38 after being down by 22 earlier...and we are close to the double bonus.

hit the free throws and stop the turnovers and we're there.

now we cut it to seven, 51-44...gordon and cook leading the way...we are on 21-6 run against the team picked second in the WCC.

pulido once again seems to be doing nothing to help and turning it over a lot.

xiaoxue · 11-06-06, 08:44 PM

we are going down to the wire! now 56-51 and we are in the double bonus.
gotta hit the free ones now men.

xiaoxue · 11-06-06, 08:49 PM

cook having a monster game...just hit a huge three with a minute to go, 58-56...is making up for that 2-15 shooting against UCLA.

one stop and one three and we win.

xiaoxue · 11-06-06, 08:51 PM

30 seconds left, we get a bad call but have a foul to give, still a two point game.

xiaoxue · 11-06-06, 08:51 PM

gordon fouled, now can tie the game!

xiaoxue · 11-06-06, 08:53 PM

58-57 with 26 seconds left...hang in there broncos. one stop and one bucket.

xiaoxue · 11-06-06, 08:54 PM

gordon with the ball and can win the game!!!!!!

xiaoxue · 11-06-06, 08:56 PM

gordon the rebounding machine....STOP the turnovers and score!
gordon and cook, cook and gordon...let's go men.

lakdod · 11-06-06, 08:56 PM

lakdod · 11-06-06, 08:58 PM

xiaoxue · 11-06-06, 08:58 PM
