UNM will be a small favorite.

It wouldn’t be a monumental upset … these seem to be the type where UNLV shows up against UNM.

Aside from the opening 10 minutes vs SDSU, I felt much better about the Rebels performance against the Aztecs than I did in their 60 point win against Lipshitz U in the Cox.

UNLV 72
UNM UNLV 67

At least some truths are now being revealed.

Game on Saturday. It's winnable and one of four or five must-win games if we are going dancing.

Utah State has only lost 1 game - at Bradly. But they have 5 wins by 5 points or less. We have a common opponent in Akron. We won by two - they won by three. Our game was higher scoring.

They are a middling rebounding team at 111th Nationally but we suck at 269th. Their outside shooting pretty much sucks at 271st Nationally from three. Their scoring comes from the big body forward ( #1 - OSOBOR) and two starting guards who slash (#4 Martinez and # 12 Falslev) Much more of their scoring is at the rim the us. (I know we won't do it, but an occasional zone may hurt these guys)

If they wake up and shoot from outside they could kill us. If we rebound, shoot and limit OSOBOR to 15 or less we have a good chance.

45% from three as a team. If we average 40% for the rest of the year we'll win 8 from the bottom 4 and 5 from the top 5. 13 conference wins and we go dancing.

Problem is, we won't average 40% from 3. We shot 27% against SDSU. If we shot 40% in that game we win. Shoot 27% tonight and we lose.

Most games this team plays will come down to 3 point shooting.

Does the heat under Kevin’s seat get a little cooler?

Getting some decent spot minutes. Doing just what he needs to do to get more minutes. Staying away from stupid stuff. 8 minutes - zero fouls - zero turnovers - 1 rebound - 1 assist - 5 pts. ( Arguably a better line than JJ or Webster) Coaches need players like this who can be depended on to come in for two or three stretches in a game and just play solid.

I thought he was going to ride the pine or redshirt. Glad I was wrong.

Hill or Cotrell.

Won’t miss Cottell’s rebounding or size, will miss Hill’s rebounding.

I have a feeling small ball is going to work for UNLV tonight.

3 minutes tonight.

We reached #12 in the Polls _ it was our highest ranking POST TARK era

Dave Rices first year - After getting to 16-2 we climbed all the way up to #12 in the polls

these were good times

A few days later we lost to the #22 ranked SDSU Aztecs by only 2 points at Viejas

We thought we would win this rivalry

Little did we know the Aztecs would come to OWN us and we would become a NON- Factor for league contention

What's happened to him? Last year about this time he was coming on. Last night he was in for 2 min had a foul and a turnover.

Michigan - 45
Rebels - 10

This season is getting worse and worse by the minute

Year after year. Sheesh. Part of it is continuity of team. A lot of it is coaching. Most of it is identity.

Login to view embedded media I understand that he had his flaws, but he definitely got better on the court and in terms of his playing weight. We will regret pushing him out. No one has looked this impressive for us.

He's had 10+ rebounds in 3 straight games too.

Are we sold on Marion for sure staying next season or is there a chance that he looks to move on now that the bowl game is over with?

A lot of Gator fans are pushing for him and Keith Miller, Marion's good friend is actively and publicly pushing for UF to hire him. Miller is a very well know and respected individual in grassroots sports and has tons of connections.

I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts are?

In the Creighton win K. Boone took 27 attempts versus Rodriguez 5. Big win for the Rebs.

In the SDSU loss K. Boone made 5 attempts versus Rodriguez 13. Big loss for the Rebs.

Hard to believe that if it was a POINT OF EMPHASIS DTJ could not get him the ball down low 3 out of 4 possessions. Back in the day LJ touched the ball nearly every possession. He was money down low. Boone is no LJ but he needs to get loads of touches for us to win.

An ACL for Hill …

Dropped Colorado State tonight. Can someone explain how they keep reloading good coach after good coach?

Committed last night. Should go public soon. I'm not happy with it because I think we could have gone bigger. I have no idea if we will get another qb to compete with him.
