GCU to the Mountain West

Local sports radio talking about expansion in general mentioned GCU to the MWC as being imminent. So I Googled and it sounds like it is close.

Big impact games this weekend

Wyoming v CSU at CSU - CSU is a 9.5 point favorite. Hope to see Wyoming play above themselves. CSU has had enough luck to put up the points they needed for conference games, now hopefully they have some bad luck. Wyoming has had bad luck most of the year, I hope to see that turn around for at least one game!

Kansas v byu at byu. - Not much confidence in a top 10 team considering they are only a 2.5 point favorite at home verse Kansas. Everything has gone right for byu winning several close games that should have been loses, while Kansas has found a way to collapse in the second half for most of the season. byu could have easily been 5-4 instead of 9-0. They are due a loss very soon based on how they have looked over the last month. A Kansas win would look really good for UNLV overall ratings.

Houston v Arizona at Arizona. Arizona is a 1 point favorite at home. This could get Houston back to 5-5 with a winning conference record. Would be a good win for UNLV.

"Jet" Thomas and Greg Burrell....

I like certain aspects of the Go-Go offense. But I don't feel the OC is taking advantage of some of UNLV's strengths with it's offensive line and at running back with Jet and Burrell. UNLV should play more smash mouth football in my opinion. The O-line is good and they showed it late at Hawaii with both Jet and Burrell. who averaged 6.5 and 8.5 yds per carry respectively for 160 yds. Both need more touches and straight up smash mouth football. Also, Burrell runs HARD IMO.

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.
