Of course I am going to comment on the Rio Grande rivalry. Very high quality offense with lots of tough shots swishing the nets per radio commentary and very intense and exciting game per fans who attended in person. Stats don´t lie either: both teams at >=50% with UNM 68% from three. No sloppy play, good defense. Only thing down a little for both teams was FT shooting. I hope RU has a game like this at the RAC so you all can feel the thrill again. I do not want to jinx anything, but I am almost giddy as the two teams I try to follow game-by-game (UNM and RU) seem to be on track for more glory days.
