Maybe it’s wishful thinking

But win or lose vs Boise, Odom showed that we can be in the CFP every single year. This CAN be done at UNLV. And with the league getting weaker/diluted …. Non conference scheduling becomes critical …. But you can hit the spot each and every year …. At UNLV.

With the foundation he’s worked so hard to build in non-slow growth time, UNLV might be an easier path to CFP than a mid-level Power conference school. Here, he already knows he can compete for that spot each and every year. A power conference? I don’t know. Yeah, they’ll essentially get 11 spots between however many teams … but of those 11 spots, how many go to that Texas, Penn States and Ohio States nearly automatically by virtue of historic programs and money?

I think it’d be easier to get to CFP as UNLV in the way he’s laid the culture and foundation than as, say Vandy, Minnesota or Purdue …

UNLV 3rd on CFP Anger Index

It ranks who has the right to be angriest at the rankings. This guy says the same thing I and so many others see...we should be clearly ranked ahead of Tulane and it isn't particularly close.

UNLV v unr ticket sales

Only a few hundred seats are left in the 100 level, and now all of the 200 level seats on both the north and south side are for sale! I am fairly certain they are selling the 200 level seats on secondary markets just like they did for the Boise State game, thus it looks like more seats are sold than are actually sold. The good thing is ticket sales are at about the same pace, which makes it very likely they will be beyond 40K tickets sold, with an outside chance at setting a new attendance record. This without question tells me that a fair number of casual fans are buying tickets to the game.

Northwestern

Up 7 give up the last 8, down by 1, Northwestern under 30% from field.
Watching this offense to cherry and 4 standing in concrete, it's all coaching, I blame whaley last yr on double team passing, but KK and staff are stooges.

This is blowout loss in 2nd, Walking Rebs 25 points tonight, why do I watch this crap.

Rebounding

One of the major reasons we suck is rebounding. This year and the three previous years we have been 252nd, 244th, 244th and 123rd in total rebounds per game. You can't be consistently that bad in one the most important aspects of basketball and expect to win. Period. IMO, here are only two reasons this can happen. 1) Not considering toughness in recruiting. 2) Not coaching properly. I think we have both.
