Are we considered a quad 4 these days?

Every program plays Quad 4 teams. As an example - UCON played 9 last year and we played 8. The important thing is winning ALL of them convincingly. UCON won all nine and we went 5-3. Gonzaga played 12 and won them all. As for where we play, when the Rodeo is in town I would rather have games I can watch in person than have all of the games away. I think the DLC is a decent venue for this type of game.

I see we have scheduled Pacific to be played down in Henderson on December 14. Another game that will draw 3-4-5 thousand. To top it off, last year Pacific was # 358 out of 362 TOTAL teams. We could not stoop any lower. We should NEVER play somebody that is that bad. Aim higher. Playing games like that only hurt your computer rankings and your team’s mental toughness. And Las Vegas games away from the T & M are always a big financial flop. Bad attendance is almost guaranteed. Why do this ??? They never learn. Just play two true road games during rodeo and always play at the house that Jerry built when in Vegas…. Geez

The Henderson Pavilion, Lee's Liquor Arena, or whatever it's called must pay UNLV well to hold events there. The Rodeo is a time to schedule two tough OOC opponents in their gyms. On-campus would be best. Try to avoid neutral site.

If our team sucks, at least we will get paid some for those games. If we don't, maybe we pull out a dub.

I live relatively close to that place, and I don't want to go to a game in Henderson. To top it all off, those games are not included in season tickets. Enough of the nonsense and trying to grab every dime you can!

Former Assistant Coach Carlin Hartman's son visited earlier this weel. We apologize for not having this sooner. We mainly focus on football but are getting caught up with basketball connects.

Maybe Carlin is laying the groundwork to be HC?

He would have been a good one, great recruiter and really loved the community here.

I don't understand this visit, even though it's an unofficial.

Are we recruiting dad back? Both have seen the facilities multiple times. Did we get new basketballs that we are showing off?

Larry Brown Ring a bell? But honestly having 3 coaches in past 40 years is one reason there is such a sustained success. Yes history really helps and favors them... but Imagine going from Larry Brown with 2 F4s and a Natty in 5 years to Roy Williams to Bill Self....

UNLV helped propel his career when his last season at Tulsa they boat raced the Rebels that afternnon in Nashville, they advanced to the elite 8 he left to Illinois had a few really good seassons and has been at Kansas ever since (21 going on 22 seasons) He has more wins and a better winning % than Roy Willimas who if you were to ask me to name the most successful coach at Kansas would be the first name that would pop into my mind.

Id say Bill Self except hes now paid almost 11 million... but there was a time where Oklahoma St. was making a run, same with supposedly the Thunder, at him before KU locked him down for basically life.. Hes going on 20 years there.
