I gotta work tonight because I'm taking a week off next week....

 

Seahawks at 49ers Monday

UNLV at Cal Tuesday

UNLV at UCLA Friday

VGK at LA Kings Saturday

 

Gonna be a fun trip.

 

BTW, if anyone is going to CAL game or know someone who wants to.... I have 2 extra tickets first row behind UNLV bench. So close I might see if I can put a uniform on and get a couple hard fouls for the boys.

All is well, For Rice is gone.

Gonna try and stream it though.

 

IPFW has 6 straight winning seasons and starting frontcourt who has a ton of experience.

Scouting report:

Donnie Tillman vs. Matt Holba

Diong vs Dylan Carl

 

Holba is an offensive beast. Stretch 4. I think Tillman will match up well, but Holba is going to get his I believe.

Carl is a solid big. I do think Diong should dominate this matchup. This is year 3 for the kid. We're gonna see that next step. No reason Diong doesn't average 10+ points and boards a 2+ blocks this year.

 

Hardy is the heart and soul still. I'm excited he has a shooter around him in Antonio. I also think M-Long will be great along side Hardy. Long is more of a pass first guy. Hardy we need to score, but of course both will be dishing the ball. About as close a combination to Oscar Bellfield and Anthony Marshall we can get. Both probably average 5+ assists in this offense.

 

This is a huge game. UNLV traditionally has been slow out the gate the last few years. IPFW wins this or keeps it close under Rice and Menzies. I think that changes. I like TJO's philosophies and I think UNLV finally wins the games it supposed to...consistently. Which UNLV has been lacking in previous years. (win some big games, lose to scrubs later)

 

Excited for the new season.

All is well, For Rice is gone.
