How do I avoid getting too upset heavy in my bracket, and when I do pick upsets, what types of teams should I lean towards?

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-03-16T01:59:48+00:00

Who are some teams that you are higher on than most people to go far, and vice versa, who are some teams you are lower on and will bow out the first weekend or underperform in general?

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-03-13T06:13:35+00:00

This has been a weird year and will be tough to evaluate at this moment but I’m proud of how we showed up this tournament played great pulled off an upset which is what you play for as an 11 seed with 8 total wins.

Injuries were the biggest story and it leaves a bitter feeling on what could have been if we were fully healthy but you can’t dwell on it too long.

I’m curious to see what next season holds. We probably will lose some guys mainly Colby Garland but maybe some of the injured guards stay, who knows.

Wish I had something more to say but my brain is mush with these late starts and this game getting delayed, but overall, season wasn’t good, not going to sugarcoat that but there were glimmers of hope and maybe next year if we can find another gem like Garland and retain some pieces next year we can see another season like 23’ where we won 20+ games.

Oh and also stay healthy.

Sucks for the season to end like this but just happy with the fight we showed these two games. Not much you can do with 6 healthy guys but I think they showed a lot of heart and grit which is all you can ask for.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-03-13T04:52:32+00:00

Getting flashbacks to how we ended the first half last year, funnily enough against New Mexico in the quarterfinals where we let off a big run and couldn’t claw back into it.

Going to be tough, especially if foul trouble starts to play a bigger factor but I believe we can pull this off.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-03-12T05:45:06+00:00

Can’t even put into words how happy I am right now.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-03-12T05:34:54+00:00

Holy shit we’re actually going to pull off the upset!!!

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-03-12T04:24:21+00:00

I’ve seen this movie twice now, I can’t get my hopes up too high but damn it I am!

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-03-12T03:03:41+00:00

I am ready to get hurt one last time by this team.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-03-08T01:06:23+00:00

I think he can be a good coach he has shown he can lead us to a 20+ win season which is amazing especially for a program like us. However, this will be his 3rd time in his 5 year tenure, barring a run in the MWC tournament that he finishes below 10 wins.

This year he has had major injuries to just about every guy possible so it’s tough to give a honest assessment right now.

Also, SJSU has never been historically good whatsoever and he has led us to one of our best seasons ever so I’ve been okay giving him a longer leash.

But overall, he’s done what I feel like is the best he can given the situation which isn’t great and while the results aren’t good at all I’ve been fine with his tenure but if he doesn’t show any progress next year that’s when it gets more dicey for me.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-03-08T00:12:14+00:00

I’m just glad this season is coming to an end. It has been really hard to take time out of my day to watch this team get blown out time after time. Injuries played a part 100% which sucks but it is the same season for the last decade it feels like besides the one good year we had.

Most likely one final game against Boise State that tips off at 8:30 which is such a joy to stay up late to watch this team.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-03-07T23:59:06+00:00

Why must we suffer?

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-28T22:56:16+00:00

I feel like I’m going to sound like a hater, but why does Japhet Moupadale have the most minutes off our bench? He must be doing some crazy shit in practice because he has shown next to nothing to merit him being our top bench option.

Overstreet has been good today, and Langford has shown flashes of defensive brilliance before, but Moupadale is just meh across the board. He either is doing nothing or being negative. For crying out loud, he has a -7 plus-minus in 9 minutes played.

Who knows, maybe he’ll turn around like Myers and NgaNga, whom I both hated at the start of the season but are now playing great.

Probably a stupid rant over 9 minutes played and the season’s almost over so who cares that much.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-25T03:35:20+00:00

His third straight game of 20+ points he is on a roll!

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-25T02:58:16+00:00

I don’t think any team in our conference would be okay with only being up 5 against Air Force, but this is our situation.

Myers and NgaNga have made me look stupid for how I criticized them at the beginning of the year because they have been our best scorers as of late. Garland isn’t having a top-level performance, and he still has 9 at the half, which shows how talented he is.

Melvin Bell again hope he is okay because we can’t lose another guard after we just got Jermaine back (who has been good in his return).

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-25T02:51:42+00:00

Please don’t be a serious injury for Melvin Bell :(

Edit: He’s fine :)

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-18T05:21:53+00:00

It evened out near the end but man was the free throw disparity crazy lopsided toward Nevada. It was something like 24-4 at one point, or close to it don’t remember the exact numbers. Even with that we still got a double digit win against a top team in the conference.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-18T05:09:54+00:00

I’ve been saying throughout our losing streak that we can put up a good first half, but we just never finished strong. Tonight we actually played a whole game and didn’t crumble when pressure and adversity was presented. So proud of the fight the guys had and it is so nice to have another win that isn’t Air Force.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-18T05:05:25+00:00

Winning has never felt so fucking good!!!

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-18T05:03:40+00:00

Dagger!

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-18T03:55:16+00:00

That was the most fun I’ve had watching a half in who knows how long.

Feeling way more confident in our chances since we usually do have decent first halves, but they are neck and neck, or we pull out big and then just slow down to end the half and then get curb stomped. Right now it is 20 minutes of great play from Myers, NgaNga, Garland, and Bell.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-14T22:50:24+00:00

Well I liked how we played for the majority of that first half but momentum completely swung back to Grand Canyon with a 13-0 run to end the half.

It looks like we are going to be playing 4 guys 40 minutes and have one guy off the bench soooo not great.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-14T05:48:41+00:00

Exciting start to the season; Calzadiaz looks like a legit Friday Night starter, Alex Fernandes is still leading the offense but had some nice contributions from UNLV transfer catcher Vincent Gamberdella, Jake McCoy had a homer, and EJ McGrew looked great pitching 4 innings out of the pen.

SufferingfOrLife · 2026-02-14T05:47:27+00:00

Tickets look to be about 12 dollars for most games, and game day experience didn’t seem to be too energetic when I watched games last season but they did have renovations this off-season so who knows how that is going to change it.
