Border War Part I: Yotes Prevail

jayandbutton · 01-12-10, 11:04 PM

even the very late arrival of lakdod could not make a difference.

yotes win late, 66-58.

it was a story of three statistics.

the first was 14-5. broncos win/lose with most turnovers by a wide margin. if you can't control the ball you aren't likely to win. this is the worst differential in memory.

the second was 35-20. when you get outrebounded almost two to one on your home floor you simply are not hustling enough. simply put, the yotes just wanted this game more than we did. we had almost ZERO presence inside. D-wayne and toby did almost nothing on the glass and failed to score inside.

the final number was 1302. that was the freakin' attendance number posted for a crowd that clearly was SMALLER than at the UCSD game, which was the first pack the gym. in that case dopey joe from kokomo reported the attendance barely above 950....duh......

bottom line, broncos fall a game back in the conference race and now must win some big games on the road. and that's assuming we sweep this weekend against the toros and eagles.

welcome back paul helms. we surely miss you and the good old days.

WTF????

missed the game but just pulled up the story on the net. cal poly web site shows the point guard in a game from a freakin' year ago against findlay?

doesn't that overachieving sports info guy have a current picture of nasser? damn, how many games have they played in the past couple months? give me a camera and I will take the damn pictures!

sounds like it was a bummer loss. that one dude from san berdoo lit it up at 25 and 17...man, he OWNED the broncos!!!!

we never lost to the coyotes in all my years on campus. is this the end of the golden age of bronco basketball? is this an off year guys?

I was noticing the attendance discrepancy too. 1302 with the stands half filled and 950 for a real pack the gym night? Unfortunately, I am not able to make any of the games since I am an alumni now residing out of the state. Wish I could be there in person and contribute more insightful comments. About the athletics website info, I think we're better off reading the thepolypost.com. As sorry as it is that we have a weekly college paper, they do have better athletics coverage with relevant current photos and video summaries of the last two games. Hope they keep it up because aside from the Athletics department website face lift, I am afraid the content and management of it is still the same. By the way, it would be good to rate and maybe comment on the polypost/ youtube videos so they get the support to keep them coming.

i am local alum and things are getting better on the floor but worse off it.
the athletic department fails to support the teams and have the three stooges running things. the guy who counts the attendance must be the papa of the three blind mice with a blindfold on. they don't even know that they already had pack the gym and so did it again? duh.....then you guys wonder why i support fullerton more? they have issues too but nothing like this! hall won't let me talk about titan power so go broncos, even if you get no love from the people paid to give it, we grads still do!

nothing new here, x man, and no wonder you give money to fullerton and not pomona.

come out tomorrow nite and say hi to hervey and paul. it's the annual trip from the golden eagles and memory of when our place was way more efficient and functional.
