VincentVegaBond Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The CSU game was probably our worst loss of the year because: 1. It was at home 2. Not a good team by any means; that Stevens guy had the game of his life tho. 3. Just gave the game away at the end and they won it on a series of highly low probability shots. I hope we can come out with an attitude and blow them away to make up for that awful loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we can come out with an attitude and blow them away to make up for that awful loss. That Stevens guy is pretty good. Over his career he has played 7 games against UNLV and averaged 22, 5, and 5. Far and away his best splits against any MWC team. His two highest career game totals have come against UNLV. and his 3-point % against UNLV is a whopping 59.6% (28-47) And to put that into perspective, Jimmer Fredette averaged 19, 3, and 3. And Sam Merrill averaged 16, 4, and 3. Fredette and Merrill are the two highest career scorers in MWC history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBronco Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I expect this one to be an absolute war. I suspect it will come down to the wire again like the first time these teams played. I don't have a whole lot of confidence in UNLV winning on the road...but I also don't have much confidence in CSU getting it done at home. The winner is pretty much a tossup IMO.

Did you really sit around on your computer gathering stats for 15 minutes just to flex on a message board? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero confidence in CSU after watching them in Laramie. They’ve derailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. It was a blatant attempt to communicate that Isaiah Stevens is more than a guy who happened to have a career day. Sorry to upset you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to allow him those otherworldly numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some inexplicable reason UNLV is the only real outlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, UNLV did win at the Pit.. just sayin. The common denominator in all of UNLV's losses is that Elijah Parquet was out. What a difference in the rest of team's defense when he is back, he makes all of them better. I'm sure Parquet will be on Stevens tomorrow night. I hope LuRod is back, and healthy, as well.

soupslam1 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 UNLV should be plenty motivated to erase that stink bomb they layed down in the last minute at home against CSU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
