AF-UNLV

Munchies adjusted. He allowed his friend Pilipovich score 106 points against UNLV, lol. I’d call that a low point, but it gets jostled together with a dozen or two others.
It is sad that we have had so many years of getting a lead and then letting the other team back into the game, that I keep waiting for the shoe to drop and for AF to catch up. I will be happy when the day comes where we expect to win pulling away when playing MWC teams.
UNLV is winning easily even without the PG who is still injured, and Tillman has been on the bench the entire game.
Keep it up Rebs! I love winning like this. Lots of hustle, working the ball around, playing tough team D(10 steals!) and solid contributions up and down the roster.
Not sure how this season is going to turn out, but the change in culture that Coach Otz has this team buying into is very impressive. The future is bright Rebels.
Remember a few weeks ago when the A.D. made a terrible mistake in hiring Coach Otz. ? People want instantaneous results. They want to judge too quickly. Maybe Otz will prove the naysayers wrong. But it's still too early to tell. One thing we do know is that he is no Marvin Menzies.!!!
He also is not Dave Rice and that is a good thing!
This coach is a lot more intense and clearly has a vision on what this team will be.. come hell or high water they will play his way. And it is starting to look like the players are buying in and taking on his personality on the court.
I was not a fan of this hire at all and it looked like this place was going to be a dumpster fire due to his recruiting but his tough style is real and refreshing and his recruiting may fit his vision of coach-able, tough players who defend, rebound and do the "little" things that don't always show up in the stat lines but those little things matter in real games!
UNLV just might be on the verge of becoming that "tough and scrappy" Midwest team, like Wichita St, Butler or Dayton!
This guy may be on to something..

We’ve had so many years of struggling with Mountain West teams that I wasn’t confident the team would beat Air Force (because we almost never start 3-0, except for last year when we were 6-6 after a 5-1 start after playing the weaker teams in conference).
Wow...We have a team. Late to shoot around and you do not play. Discipline.
Will Tillman learn his lesson, or will he end up riding the bench for the rest of his career? He is a good player, who could make UNLV much better, but lack of discipline in the long run is what torpedoed the career of coach Rice and Menzies!
On espnu broadcast last night they said coach otz had someone in on a recruiting visit. And they said this would mean 9 new guys eligible next year. I realize 2 of the 9 are the transfers.
I can hardly believe tillman would have any nba buzz after unimpressive play this year. Hardy shaky shooting should mean non much nba buzz either.
Do we have room for 9 newcomers if our 2 nba possible guys stay?

Let’s hope HS signees are also playing for their scholarship.
Yeah, plus this gets us to .500 for the year! Up next on Wednesday the Blue Smurfs of Boise, Let's Go Rebels!!!

Would otz really overrecuit and drop some high schoolers? I would think that would hurt him with recruits going forward if they do not think their initial scholarship would be honored.
