OT: Favorite Casino on the strip/off the strip that doesn’t exist anymore?

I really liked the Frontier Casino. They had a fabulous seafood buffet from what I remember. I don’t remember the price They also had a Mexican restaurant that had Cotija tacos for like 3 bucks for 2 gigantic tacos and rice and beans. Cotija is that weird Mexican cheese..

it was also the place where I won Bingo for the first time when I turned 21. I didn’t even know I won. This poor old lady called out Bingo but she was missing a number. My mom looked over and noticed I didn’t fill out a number that had been called. I won 300 dollar coverall. After that I never won again. Shitty f’n game.

I also remember the picketers and being called a scab for the first time. It was a good cause, the prices were god damn cheap.

I still walk to Casino Royale and get me a 3.79 cent hot dog.

Anyways, you guys got a favorite casino with a deal?

Just Stop It

Playing D3 and NAIA ( Carrol and Bethesda) games are negative events to us. They reduce the total number of games that count and this concentrates the meaning of the games that do count. Since we play more quad 2,3,4 games more emphasis gets put on each one. Since quad 4 games only hurt and don't help, playing fewer games magnifies the harm of a quad 4 loss.

If we play an away game against a Quad 1 team and win, it's worth @ 9 spots up in NET. If we lose is costs us @ 2 spots.

We should try to get home and home games against perennial quad one opponents. If we can't get them to play here then go to their place.

No matter what - no more softies.

Changing hearts and Minds

Its okay to root for the Rebels people

Its okay to want them to win this year

Its okay to be happy we are winning

Would KK wins some fans if we Smash UNR on SAT ???

I think this is a game they will be fired up for _ kevin knows what games are important and what games to really focus on

I think we handle them at home- Dunk a lot and have fun -

Am I delusional ??????????

I think we go 7 and 1. I also think if Hill comes back Healthy We have a good chance to get to the mountain west championship. We are as Talented as anyone in our conference. Some pretty good teams but they have lots of flaws. The mountain west is not as talented as in years past. There are like six Teams that can win the MWC tournament. Playing on our home floor we should have our best shot in years.

OT: Biggest Sports Moments in Vegas History


This list blows goats. UNLV winning a natty doesn’t even make the list?? Yeah ok you know nothing about Vegas. And POKER is number one?! Let’s forget for a moment that poker is not a sport, ahead of Hagler vs Hearns?? [roll]Also sorry but the LV Aces is not ahead of Tyson/Holyfield.

MWC Tonight

CSU scored 11 points in 2nd half, 3 FG and blow 14 point half time lead and lose by 16, CSU 5 loses now in MWC

UNM-Reno next, loser has 5 loses, if UNLV takes care of business tomorrow will be in 5th place.

One game at a time, be mentally ready to play, Hicks better be in the rotation over Webster, he and Nowell now bench-roll players.

NIT Possibilities

There has been quite a bit of discussion on a few different threads about having a chance at the NIT or not.

Following is a relatively deep dive into the NIT. I'm using today's NET as an example - so keep in mind the specific teams will change as time goes by and wins or losses accumulate. But the concept will be the same.

The NIT used to guarantee a spot to each conference winner that lost in their Tourney. The rest of the 32 team field would be filled out with the remaining teams available by rank. This is no longer the case.

This year the first 12 teams will be spots guaranteed to the two highest ranking teams not chosen for the NCAA Tourney from six conferences. ( PAC 12, Big 10, Big East, Big 12, SEC and ACC). They will then pick the next 20 teams as the best available from NET. ( the best 4 of these teams will be combined with the 12 autobids to make the 16 teams with first round home games).

So, where would we stand? It is impossible to predict exactly how many teams will be chosen for the NCAA as at large selections. This is because you can't accurately predict Conference Tourney upsets. But for reference the 46/47 ranked team is normally the last team in at large. ( the remaining teams are tourney winners and they are at times ranked into the 200's)

So the NIT will start @ rank 47 and choose the next 12 best ranked POWER 6 teams not selected for the NCAA's. Using today's data they would go down to rank 68. Then they would go back to rank 47 ( because they had to skip over non Power 6 teams) and pick the best 20 remaining. They would end with No. 80. ( Keep in mind this is inexact because some of the teams in the 60's and 70's may win their Tourney and get in the NCAA's - but it's pretty close)

We are currently 87th NET. We need to get at least to 80 to have a sniff. We'd be solid if we could get to the low 70's. We have three shots at quad 1 wins in conference and hopefully 2 shots in the Tourney. We most likely need to win two and not lose a gimme to get to the 70's.

I think it's very doable.
