    I'm a proud Aztec, but I'll ask. Were they talking about SDSU prior to their national championship run last year? 

    Also, there was very little to no respect for the Aztecs during the national championship broadcast last year. 

     

    Interesting question. 

    Living in the south and talking to guys I know who've lived here forever...SDSU BB was talked about prior to last year. The covid year they were great.

    Nevada is well known because of the run during Musselmens years and Muss coaches at Arkanas.

    MWC basketball ( at least here with guys I talk to) is SDSU and to some degree Nevada and with the occasional mention of the awesome Vegas teams back in the day.

    With rumors of Richard Pitino turning down Louisville, Steve Alford is looking like he's bunkering down in Reno.

    This speaks volumes about MWC basketball. The brand is strong and these coaches are choosing to stay. A job to watch is USC - where Andy Enfield is leaving to take the SMU job. Would they look at an MWC coach? I don't think so.

    Holding on to our coaches is paramount as the MWC looks to take the next step. There is so much growth potential since UNLV is still climbing into that top tier. UNLV is the position that the national media are looking most closely at as a face of the conference. If Kruger takes another step next year (in a big way), and the MWC holds up like it did this year, I believe the MWC will get the respect necessary to improve everyone's seed line across the board.

    The Alford Plea = "I got your back, UNLV." He needs UNLV and he knows it; and I believe he knows what's coming. The Rebels are back, baby.

     

    The first paragraph reminds me of someone else ....not to far in our past.

    Has anybody ever driven from one coast to the other. 
     

    Im thinking of flying  to Seattle renting a car and sojourning across the country all the way to Key West Florida, avoiding major freeways the whole way. 
     

    Then id fly my wife to Key west ave vacation  there for a while 

    If I do it it will probably be next summer 

    you in @grandjean87

     

    Reno to Florida. Took major highways most of the way. If you go southern route, hit Grand Canyon, Sedona, big meteor crater , Winslow AZ (just because of the Eagles).

    Take old 66 through Oklahoma. Drive the Ozarks in Arkansas head southeast through Mississippi.  Vicksburg and the Natchez Trace south. 

    When you get to the panhandle of Florida get straight to the coast (HWY 98). The purest white sand beaches you'll ever see. Drive 98 through Pensacola Beach through Destin (where I live) and follow it around the 'Big Bend' area. You can hug the Gulf Coast for along ways on you trip to the Keys.

    I wish my Buffs didn't have to play a MWC team :foottap:

    At least the Buffs aren't playing us...then you'd really be up the creek.

    $20 says Leon actually asked for a first four game to give himself the best chance possible at actually winning a tournament game for once. 

    Best of luck to you all, may you all go an SDSU like run this year!!

    Thanks for the Luck! If you look at the brackets MWC teams could all be in the Final Four..I know I'm sunshine pumping.

    Yeah, and people were giving me crap for saying that the NCAA might screw us. 

    Look at the brackets.  The MWC could have all the Final Four teams...😆

    Absolute Bullshit that the G5 teams only get a 300k per team increase while the SEC and B1G get a 16 mil increase per team and that the conference that gets the G5 autobid is not rewarded for it.

    At a minimum, the autobid conference should get 5mil+ per team.

    Absolute Bullshit that the G5 conference(s) won't get a participation cut.  Going from 1.5 million to 1.8 million while the SEC and B1G get a 16 million raise per team sucks.  The G5 conference that gets the autpbid should get a share closer to the Big12 or ACC.

    We are who we are.
