  1. While I embrace that, this season's schedule was easily NCAA worthy. UNLV just shit the bed 3x this year with Q4 losses which cost them. Schedule was fine and very appropriate for this team. Still,, I'd like to see it pushed a little harder.
  2. Dave Rice. Kind of surprised he hasn't gotten another attempt as a HC. Utah State seems like a good fit for him and USU.
  3. Gonna have to hit your 3s and play stellar defense to have a chance in this game., two things that SDSU can do. Will they do it? That is the question. Best of luck Aztecs.
  4. Rebels played real well. Awesome to see them leave the T&M for the season on a win. That hasn't happened since 2008. Getting Boone back was huge. I wish this team would've figured it out earlier because right now with the way they have been playing the last 2 month this team would be a Sweet 16 team. Oh well..........keep it up and go win the NIT.
  5. I've been rooting for all MWC teams except UNR because screw UNR
  6. While this is true I'm stoked to be able to catch this game on Sunday. It ain't the NCAA tourney, but damn it is something that we haven't sniffed in 10+ years. I'm down for another game at the T&M. Team seems focused and wants to be in the tourney. Since that is the case, I'm on board with them. LFG!!!!!!!!!
  7. Well, I think it is easy to see that the committee takes your past tourney results into account. They always have though. I remember a long time ago (2007) when UNLV won the MWC tourney as a 2nd seed and being ranked for a good portion of the year and got a 7 seed. Had to beat Georgia Tech then had to beat #2 Wisconsin in Chicago. By doing that though, our next few trips to the tourney resulted in better seeds although we weren't as good as that team. SDSU gets the benefit of the doubt from the committee due to what they have accomplished in the tourney especially after last year. Instead of complaining, MWC teams need to win in the tourney. Nothing will change until the conference as a whole does well in the tourney. We need all 6 teams this year to get wins. Only way to change the narrative is to win. Not just one team or two teams. We need everyone to win. Complaining is futile.
  8. Yeah they did. Hope it's a better outcome this time.
  9. MWC is getting respect for the regular season by evidence of the 6 bids. Fact is, besides SDSU's run last year and a few Sweet 16 runs by MWC programs over the past 25 years, there has been hardly any success by MWC teams in the tourney. A lot of first day exits as well. Want to change the narrative? The six MWC teams need to win. Period.
  10. Let's go Rebels. It isn't the NCAA tourney, but a post season tournament is something this program hasn't experienced since 2013. It is at least a step in the right direction for the program. It also buys KK another year. Need to bring in another scorer to help DJ. Our lack of another scoring threat cost this team a chance to be in the NCAA tourney this year. That has to be the recruiting priority. I'm actually excited to see how UNLV comes out for this game. Gonna be tough. Have to travel back East. Play late, and play against a team that has a style no one likes to play. I guess we kinda get a look at that type of offense with AF, but that doesn't make me feel better as AF kicked our ass in Vegas this year. A tough draw for the Rebels, but one which if they play their game they should win.
  11. USU UNLV UNR SDSU UNM BSU CSU WYO SJSU FSU AF
  12. Without a doubt. As depth has improved so have the results. We all know DJ is the man and takes this team to a different level, but I'd say the Boone's play (especially with Keylan's 3 point shooting) is what put this team in the position it is. Too bad we didn't have them for the whole season. As others have said, KK and all UNLV administrators should be pushing this point in the media.
  13. That assumes you make it out of day 1
  14. Same here. Made it down there late. Glad I did. Will certainly be there for the MWT. Haven't been this excited for a MWT in over 10 years.
  15. It's already been stated that the Aviators will remain in Vegas which I love. I live right by Las Vegas Ballpark and love going to games there. Beautiful park and reasonably priced. Having your AAA feeder team in your MLB home town will help A's.
  16. First off...........great job Rebels. I haven't been that proud of a Rebel team in a long time. Fantastic performance last night. Controlled the game from tip to buzzer. Never really let SDSU get out on a run which would lead to playing from behind. Did a great job making LeDee earn his points. Shot the 3 pointers very well and made timely ones. About that only thing you could complain about was the FT shooting which almost cost them the game. This team is easily one of the best 64 teams in the nation, and it isn't close. I get the 3 bad losses, but over this 2 week stretch of the end of the regular season and the MWT if UNLV gets 2 wins it guarantees itself into the NIT. If it can pull off 3 wins I think they have an outside shot at the NCAA tourney, but they would need other teams to mess up in their conference tournament. If they can pull off 4 wins, I don't see how you can leave them out. Imagine if UNLV wins the MWC regular season title, which is a legit possibility. How does the committee let in 6 MW teams, but not the regular season champ? That won't happen. In any case, the Rebels are clicking right now and have been for over a month. Need to finish out these next 2 weeks on a strong note. One win down and 3 to go. Win the next 4 and you remove all doubt. Let's go Rebels.
  17. You're spot on with the win totals to make a post season tourney.
  18. Rebels get 2 wins over the next 2 weeks they should be in the NIT. Get 3-4 wins they have a shot at an at-large albeit a long one. Going to be a fun couple of weeks.
  19. Great job taking care of business. Finally played with a lead and kept it Saturday night. Did exactly what they needed and should do to that team. Glad to see them not looking ahead to this week. Now, this week has the opportunity to be the biggest week in Rebel basketball in over 10 years. SDSU at home Tuesday and UNR in Reno on Saturday. Good to see we aren't playing on Wednesday in the MWT. Now we need to set ourselves up for a good run. That starts this week. The Aztecs have our number over the years and are formidable down low. Need lots of bodies on LeDee. Aztecs took care of the Rebels back in their first conference game of the season. Let's see where we truly are in this conference because SDSU is still the standard. Excited for the next few weeks. Good time to be a Rebel fan for the first time in awhile.
  20. Another win. Another game where we play to the level of our opponent. That will come back to bite us in the tournament. Literally tried to give the win away in regulation. This team is so confusing to me. The fact we have a better road record than home record is insane. It also doesn't bode well for a good MWT run. Not one damn person should say anything about any type of a home court advantage with this team. There is none. Still, what is it now......8 wins in the last 9 games or so? That's impressive. They are finding ways to win where they weren't earlier in the season. I hate to sound all doom and gloom with this group. I like them. They just confuse me so much.
  21. Good win by the Rebels. This should have been a sweep as we gave the game away in Ft. Collins earlier in the year. Playing well the past 10 games or so, but need to finish the regular season strong. If they can get a top 4 seed in the MWT, I like their chances in it. Long way to go before that though. Take care of WYO and SJSU this week. Rebs can really put themselves in great position to get a top 4 seed. Nice to be able to actually have a shot at the title this late in the season. It's been awhile.
  22. Then we will hurt the conference because we are going to beat those top 6 teams and win the MWT
  23. Glad to see them win their 5th in a row, but their main problem still exists. They play to the level of their opponent. This should have been a blowout. The win doesn't quell my fears about this team. Anyway......on to the next one. FUNR.
  24. Always good to see UNR lose. Way to go Lobos.
