Nevada Convert Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 We have no prayer for an at large. East coast bias, MWC bias, Nevada has no tourney cred built up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Politics and perception. We lack in both. Reno won't get an atlarge, but will represent the MW anyways with a win tonight. Good season to both teams still alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said above, the OP is nervous as a church mouse. The point is moot though because as the Reb said, the late emotional game + use of just 7 players the last two days is going to destroy any chance of CSU winning. Quote Boom goes the dynamite.

PT NM State VS CSU Bakersfield TV: ESPNU Cal Baptist? WTF? I live in SoCal and travel on business annually to NorCal and CentCal and have never heard of that school. Might watch their title game however. For a little school in a crap town, CSUB has a good hoops program and if the BigLots had a clue, they'd add them. Quote Boom goes the dynamite.

Probably, because just a few years ago, they were just a sleepy little college of 900 in Riverside in the NAIA. Now they are in the third year of D2 (which is why they can't join the WAC till 2019 due to needing to be at least 4 years in D2) and a college of over 9,000 and building like crazy include a new $73 million arena with 6k of seating. They are flushed with cash and doing very well in the D2 athletics. This is a pretty good get for the WAC. UC-Riverside sure isn't happy about them moving up because they won't be able to compete with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
