This trend may not speak well to Marvin's ability to make adjustments. Hmm...

Last years games at the ATT were part of the season ticket package. This year season ticket holders were just able to buy their tickets a little in advance but still paid full price. The prices were crazy so we decided not to pay. I guess ATT figured that they would rather make a killing from a few BYU fans than actually putting butting in the seats. If the prices would have been reasonable they could have sold more and still made some descent money. If Las Vegas fans gave a crap and had faith in this current team then they could;d have sold a bunch of seats. Probably why they went the high priced tickets for a few route.

Agreed, it's UTTERLY ridiculous to expect fans to pay premium NBA prices to watch a few mediocre college teams, I don't care what arena it's in.

I was in SLC over Thanksgiving, got tickets to a Utah Jazz game for $15 bucks a person. Going to a Phoenix Suns game in a few weeks (vs. Denver), paid $17 for those. Sorry but I flat out refuse to pay anywhere close to what they're asking for this Saturday's game, it's robbery.

Eh...I think we got a discount.  Paid $90 for mine in most expensive tier besides courtside.  Gets access to the lounge and stuff.  Looking forward to having a good time win or lose. 

Last few years when we go outside T&M they give is tix as part of the package but they're end zone upper deckers.  This year we had to pay but they gave us prime tix at a discount. Me, I'll take the good ones and pay, but that's me. I did give up my fb tix this last year so I understand how you feel.  What I really want is for them to lower the price of season tix. They're quite high for college bball, especially if the program isn't producing a tope level product.  My sister's CU tix are almost a third of the price of mine and she sits 7 rows back in a middle section.  Mine are decent but not nearly that good.

juis probably isn't playing, knee injury.

 

If he is out with his knee do you think MM will play small? Or will this be a game that Dembele has his chance to actually try and prove he can play better than he has been?

In the last two games (illini & cincy), UNLV has won the 2nd half. Marvin said they emphasized 2nd half adjustments over pregame scouts after Valpo. 

I dont think this is a typical season, in that it's not so much about playing the actual best players / lineups for most of the game. They are finding out what a lot of these young guys are and getting them minutes. Sort of like playing Woodbury at odd times, or playing an unproven JTT over Dembele or Beck. Ntambwe over a 3rd guard.

This entire ooc is mostly about preparing for the mwc, not getting wins for a tournament selection. So im just not placing much emphasis on things the same either.

The first six games in conference I will begin to really scrutinize what the coaching staff is doing more closely. Not just games one or two, either. Im going to look at the entire first 6 games as a mini season.

Im thinking JTT plays more, as well as Beck. 

Curious to see who starts. 3 guards(Amauri starts) sliding Ntambwe to the 4, or JTT or Beck start at the 4. 

My guess is JTT starts.

Well I guess tomorrows game will have an Asterix after it. Our best player from last year is out with a knee injury and the coach is still switching lineups in an attempt to find a lineup that can play with consistency for 40 minutes so I guess it is the same as a scrimmage. The failure of our OOC really doesn't count anyway, it's not like our coach scheduled down in an attempt to chalk up cheap wins and even that strategy failed. So really it's all about the 3rd and 5th game going into conference unless we lose the 3rd or 5th game and then it was really about the 4th and 2nd game unless 2 senior starters play poorly and then it is about an unknown freshman rotation unless we win and then it was about wise coaching decisions unless we lose and then it is about the players that were brought in during the 2nd year which was really the 1st year unless we finish with a losing record this year and then next year will really be the 1st year.

By golly I think I've got it unless it changes again. Well hell of course it will change again but then really it has never changed because it has always been consistent except for when it changed because...well you know.

This is going to be a challenging "road" game for UNLV.  UNLV better be prepared to play in front of an all BYU crowd.

J/K.  Not sure if that many BYU fans will attend.  Ticket prices are too high.
