Andy Katz: Power 36 Rankings

[RebNReno]

UNLV ranked #36 in Andy Katz' latest rankings. The other 35 teams are all Tournament/Bubble teams. Strange to see UNLV getting the attention of a fairly respected national analyst. Hopefully EML is good and a healthy UNLV team gets a shot to take the rubber match vs SDSU on it's way to the MWC title.

5. San Diego State (5): The Aztecs are still holding onto the No. 1 seed in the East in my bracket.

36. UNLV (NR): The Rebels have to win the Mountain West to get a bid, but they’ve won five in a row, including handing San Diego State its first loss of the season. UNLV (12-6 Mountain West) has won three road games during the streak (at UNM and at San Jose State, too). The Rebels host the Mountain West Conference tournament this week.

He is looking at how UNLV has played recently as the basis for putting us on the list. From what I can see is that UNLV is playing like a team that could easily be on the bubble or better if they played this way all year. A total flip from the typical UNLV team that looked their best at the beginning of the season and faded as the season progressed.

Pretty solid validation that the program is doing something right under Coach Otz.
