  1. The only ones who will argue it, haven't actually paid attention. Both rightfully deserve it.
  2. A lot of talk about an at-large...and 10 years ago UNLV fully would have been in the convo based on late season play....it just isn't like that anymore. Bad losses have way more weight than great wins. Auburn is 6th in NET... 1-7 vs Quad 1 22-0 vs Quad 2/3/4 SDSU is 19th in NET 3-7 vs Quad 1 17-1 vs Quad 2/3/4 (Quad 2 loss to UNLV) It's more beneficial than ever to schedule as hard as you can....Losses against good teams don't really hurt. Wins against good teams help. Losses to bad teams kill your season... Michigan State is 22nd in NET / 19th Kenpom 19-12 record. 9-9 Big 10 record. 4-8 vs Quad 1 4-4 vs Quad 2 9-0 vs Quad 3/4
  3. People seem to forget this too. Slowly, you can see the identity of this team arise. That start vs SUDS was some old man Kruger UNLV days. Hard nosed, intense, motivated defense that transitioned into solid offense. I get people aren't happy at times, especially after performances like the one against AFA, but UNLV isn't in position to keep changing jobs every 3 or 4 years looking for that rare 1-2 year turn around....Especially after hiring a 1st year head coach. KK was a damn smart player, a coaches son and has been around enough to be a good coach. It's a tough culture now with the revolving rosters and getting one year players, but if he can manage to get what he thinks will fit his style....I think UNLV will be just alright. Enjoying the ride right now. It's rare when UNLV is playing this well headed into the MWCT.
  4. UNLV would have clinched a share of the MWC regular season championship if not for that ref job ending against USU... Kinda wild to even say.
  5. DJ Thomas.....are you freaking kidding me??? Should be going to class tomorrow in HIGH SCHOOL....LOL Just when I thought he couldn't top his 25 points and dominating UNM....IN THE PIT..... he buries the National Runner up.... He needs a blank NIL check. Every school in the country is going after this kid.
  6. Press has been a killer this year against us. Wyoming literally forced OT because of it. Need Thomas to start taking these guys into the paint and drawing some fouls. They'll start calling it.
  7. The defense is amazing, but these boys are also hitting some shots. Just keep up that defensive intensity and the baskets will come. This is some textbook Kruger shit right here.
  8. Karl Jones came out to play? Damn LOL
  9. Lmao....we never get Home court calls. Flagrant 1? I thought Ledee doesnt flop...
  10. Damn our defense has really showed up lately. The boys are focused right now. Whaley wasn't getting much run last game and now he's bodying up Ladee pretty well here early and when Ladee is getting the ball the length with the help defense is denying it. On another note I can't talk enough about how good Dedan Thomas Jr is.... A damn high school senior out there commanding this team.
  11. ehhmmm. USU at UNLV begs to differ.
  12. Rice and Dent went off. Degenhart and House were duds. Difference was Rice had some timely big time shots down the stretch and UNM (Mostly House) got a little flustered and forced some bad shots/decisions.
  13. Had to login and say what an absolute joke of a display by the refs. Down 4, made 3 and a soft ass rebounding foul?? LOL not to mention the out of bounds obviousness seconds earlier. Tough to watch already, then you add just straight corrupt shit. No other explanation. These aren't high school refs. it's hilarious because not long ago an Aztec fan was crying on twitter about not getting home cooking in a 10 pt win, 20 more FTs and 8 foul difference. THIS IS WHAT NO HOME COOKING IS. IF this was in USU it somewhat makes sense. This was a +++++ing shafting. Tough to watch college athletics these days.
  14. ENJOY IT NOW BOYS GONNA BE TOUGH TO KEEP ODOM AND WILLIAMS.
  15. I can't believe how +++++ing bad these refs have been. Will be a miracle if UNLV can hold on here.
