Ok so back to Jacks fans and them wanting to play USD in the first round of the tournament. I really don't understand why they would welcome that. If you are a Jacks fan would you want to play the hottest team in the league that is more then capable of winning big games on the road or would you want someone like Denver who is still a good team but not as hot as USD and might have 100 fans in attendance if lucky. Or they can play the Coyotes would will still have about 2,000 fans or more for a game such as that and will still have as many students in their student section as will SDSU. So it's either 6K or so of your own fans vs 100 Denver fans or 6K or so fans vs 2,500 fans. SDSU will have a big and loud crowd regardless but the advantage won't be as great against USD who will have plenty of their own fans and a team that will have no problem playing with energy and when the Coyotes play with energy they are a better team then the Jacks. The Coyotes just have a lot more ways to beat the Jacks, then the Jacks have to beat them.
I am not saying the Jacks couldn't win but my money would be on the Yotes. I don't want to play the Jacks in a one and done format but I think the likelihood of the Coyotes winning the tourney is a higher percentage. If the Coyotes repeat how they played the last 3 games I think they are heading to the NCAA's. I doubt their is a three game run that SDSU has put together that screams NCAA tournament.
Totally honest and totally fair statement.
It is for that exact reason that I do not want to play SDSU.
