Who knew this guy was now the AD at Mcneese state?

Those who think Kruger is safe for one more year might be shocked!!

Is this correct, UNLV hasn’t made the MWCT Semifinals since 2014?

This post is total speculation. But it's based on a GLARING need that this team had. The POST position. Or at least a solid internal presence. Muoka and Iwuakor were abysmal. They averaged 7 pts and 8 rebounds - TOGETHER. They were good defenders but were a non-factor offensively.

Had we landed Udeze, IMO we would have won @ 7 more games. Udeze averaged 16 pts and 9 rebs - ALONE.

We could have competed for the Conference lead. We would be looking at an NCAA berth with a guaranteed NIT.

Again, speculation. But it does show how one player can make a huge difference.

I hope KK learned a hard lesson and is merciless in his evaluation of what current players stay and who he brings in. He can't let loyalty to nice kids stand in his way of hard nosed evaluation.

What is everyone's predictions? Our side of the bracket looks more manageable and has hella potential for chaos. I think UNM beats Wyo and then upsets Utah State. We beat Air Force, upset Boise, and then beat UNM. Now before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, this is MY OPINION and I formed this opinion based on the ball bouncing our way a couple of times. It's also very difficult to beat a team three times in one season.

With that being said, we get to the chip and lose to SDSU. But if they somehow have a hiccup....

Peaking at the right time for sure. I think they played their way in to the tournament by spanking Boise. I think UNR was already bumped but if they had life, USU gave the final shove.

Obviously SDSU is in, I’m guessing a 7 seed.

I’d guess both USU and Boise get an 11 seed.

And that’s it.

Should be coach of the year, in the MWC... I wish we had him here at UNLV!

Do we get these two starters back for tonight?

I know of only a handful of fans that are giddy and still see greatness after a loss, so take it with a grain of salt … yes, some power people are extremely disappointed and have been in Harp’s ear. But it wasn’t necessarily because of last night, I don’t think it made a difference either way. Pretty much everyone is upset. But I don’t see it as being some ready to burst volcano, either. Then again, I don’t have a feel at all for Harp. There were a lot of reasons to fire Arroyo besides record and he did what he felt he needed to do. I can’t say how he feels about KK. I do think there’s something extra there when it’s not the AD’s hire. But that does not mean he should pull the trigger (I’m on the side of no, he absolutely SHOULD NOT be fired). I don’t know where he stands. Unless something stupendous is lined up as a no brainer and the deal is done/near done, I have a hard time believing anything is there, then again, maybe Harp is good at keeping things quieter.

I’m disappointed about last nights game but at least they gave us a ride in that game. The season was really bad, hell, I think we lost 13 of our last 22 with most coming in a very mediocre conference. It may be a year in which we don’t have a victory over an NCAAT team (not sure). The OOC was weak and we feasted on it, a lot of garbage wins along the way. If you compare MM’s last two seasons vs KK’s two seasons … not sure, but I’m guessing they are very similar, maybe a slight edge to Munchies? Either way … another blah season with a disappointing ending.

With KK here, I think we need some drastic changes for next year to have success. We can’t just repeat the same philosophy (on the court, recruiting) and expect a huge jump. And yes, I do think a significant jump is necessary or he will be gone. Anybody saying there’s no hot seat for next year is crazy. It’ll be there.

I’m hopeful he doesn’t try to Menzies his way out of trouble by playing Time Life Books and St Katherine’s 12 times next season so he can get to that (lol) benchmark of 20 wins. That’s an old metric that is absolutely useless nowadays. But the uni and press like to use it to designate a special season. Whatever. Eyes don’t lie.

It’ll be an interesting off-season, seeing if anything is approached differently or if we just stick with what we are doing and go with it and hope with crossed fingers.

I have two tickets for tonight's WAC Semi's if anyone wants to go.
Email me your phone# : dclark625@gmail.com and they are yours. Think they are at 6:00 and 8:00 pm again at the Orlean's.

Lots of talk about him leaving for Cal. Better facilities and more $$.

Harkless needs to put up at least 20, JJ3 at least 10, LuRod at least 10 and 10, and Webster needs to make a couple of timely threes. Gilbert needs to be on a very short leash tonight.

Like @j. spilotro said in a recent post, Boise is not all that good, but they do play within their plans and are always on schedule. We usually hang tough in the first half and the second half is where they always get us. Our effort has been on 100 lately so I'll just go out on a limb and say we squeak this one out just based on our hustle and again, the fact that its hard to beat a team three times.

On the undefeated MW season. Keep the streak going next week at the MW tournament.

Interesting read on what it may cost the PAC to lose USC and UCLA. Makes me wonder what SDSU cost the MWC?

They are playing for a seeding. A loss to us is a bad loss. Plus we win against AF but it was draining.

Boise - 82
Rebs - 71

Hopefully this is true.

Professional gamblers usually have a good take on the talent of a staff.

Survive 64-61 over CSU

They move on, weren't very pretty at all.

I think UNM takes USU tonight.

I love to see SJST beat Nevada, that's toss up.

I want UNLV to win, but all the weaknesses will be exposed tonight, Harkless has to go for 30+, but to me to many droughts.

I might sneak go watch the rebels win live!!

Winning a f***ing basketball game at home. You are COY in my eyes. Please do it three more times in as many days.

I get not wanting to have a home broadcast team, but the MWN has to do better than that. Richie Schueler, the color guy, had no clue what the Rebel chant was and kept thinking it was airball. He only knew players by stats. He even said this is the first time I have seen these teams all year at one point.

Somebody had posted about watching classic Runnin' Rebels or Big East games if they wanted to see good college basketball. Those were the days, for sure. Big East had coaches like Thompson, Carnesseca, Boeheim, Calhoun, and some young, whipper-snapper named Pitino. Are we seeing the final vestige of that era finally become one for the ages? I mean, really, what will we do for live nose-picking?
