No, not last night's blow-out, although that was nothing to write home about.  28 New Mexico State points off of 18 turnovers ( where have we heard that before?); 39 percent filed goal percentage ( where have we heard that before?); Thompson completely wearing down ( 1 assist, 6 turnovers- a reversal of the t/o to assist ratio we saw all season until a few games ago), Campbell and Balocka continuing their meltdowns once the WAC started; but on the positive side, maybe Xiang"s best game as a Rainbow and Flemings doing all one man can do to keep Hawaii competitive.

No the stupid game is the game Saturday against Cal Poly ( who?). This game could not be more of a waste. It means nothing and it comes when the team needs a rest before its last four Conference games. It means an in season trip to Cal Poly next year in another meaningless game. It means Thompson, who can hardly make it thru 20 minutes anymore, has to play on Saturday. I guess the good news is it may be Hawaii's best chance for a tenth win and a chance to end this losing streak. The team certainly will be an underdog in all remaining games, although the way they played Nevada in Reno and the way Nevada plays on the road, an upset win  in that game is not out of the question.

Finally, many of you continue to ask me about the future of Coach Nash( like I have inside information which i dont). But many of you dont understand the contract " extension" Bob received last year. In a nutshell, He was given another year ( 2010-2011) with a one year " option". The important fact to remember was that Jim Donovan announced a number of  " benchmarks" that had to be met in EITHER this season or next. They include 18 wins and/or a post season tournament. No chance of either this year, but note the word "Either". Now that doesnt guarantee Bob will be here next year, but it does mean the University would have to buy out the remaining year at 250,000 plus. With the University athletic budget running a 4 plus million dollar deficit, how likely is that?
