My buddy is a big New York Giants fan. He has this thing about Eli Manning. He says there is a Good Eli and a Bad Eli, meaning there are days when the quarterback is the best player on a field and days when he, well, isn’t. Days when he is the difference and days when he disappears. Days when you can’t believe how good he is and days when you don’t even realize he’s there.
Anthony Marshall scored a career-high 27 points and Chace Stanback had 21 as No. 14 UNLV led the entire way in a 101-78 rout of Texas Christian in a Mountain West Conference game at the Thomas & Mack Center.
LARAMIE, Wyo. — New Mexico’s big men were struggling and starting point guard Hugh Greenwood was out with an ankle sprain. No problem for the Lobos.
PROVO, Utah — Brigham Young found the perfect way to counteract the outside shooting threat presented by Santa Clara. The Cougars set up shop around the basket and made certain they stayed in control of that area.
SAN DIEGO — Jamaal Franklin drove through the lane and hit a twisting layup with three-tenths of a second remaining to lift No. 22 San Diego State to a 69-67 victory over 12th-ranked UNLV in the teams’ Mountain West Conference opener at Viejas Arena.
The comeback that never happens, but did, still resonates with Curtis Terry years later. He can still see the margin and the clock and the improbable mountain to climb, still see Odartey Blankson score off a rebound, still see Jerel Blassingame make that 3-pointer, still feel himself racing up the court at the end of regulation, receiving the pass and heaving an off-balance 3 toward the rim as the buzzer sounded.
