UNLV wins 80-56 even with CSU scoring the last 7 points. A well played game after a slow start for the first 2-3 minutes
 
How long has it been since we had such a big lead at the end of the game we could sub guys out to get a round of applause for a job well done?

i have been waiting for Hammy to have a breakthrough with the 3 ball. His shot has always looked good to me. If it keeps falling for him he will be unstoppable. Welcome back EML YOU HAVE BEEN MISSED!!
 
That first half was incredible! I hope they can play like that in the post season.

I love that the ball never gets pounded for 10-15 seconds like it had the last few years.

One telling play was Bryce Hamilton's 2nd half block of a lay up attempt. The Rebels already had a huge lead and the game was in hand but he and the rest of the team were still playing with max effort.

In losses, the ball gets pounded as much as it ever has. And it’s always a loss. Pretty direct correlation, imo. We are 500. So we’ve pounded it quite frequently.

Funny thing is, it’s not even about makes and misses specifically. The offense looks completely different when the dribbles are low.
 
I see signs of potential from the team, but I still get a feeling they haven't fully bought into the coaches program. The big questions will be can they become consistent in the remainder of this year and into next year, and can they find the shooters that at lacking on offense for next season?

The last thing I have noticed is that the attendance at game has drastically improved as the season has progressed. Since the record isn't exactly great it must have more to do with the style of play and fans seeing that the program is going in the right way. What does anyone else think about this?

Not sure. Last night was pretty low. The two games before that were much higher than the season average, but that was UNR and SDSU. So it’s hard to say.
 
CSU started a line up of two freshmen guards who were under 6 foot. We killed them in every way. Eli schooled them every time he touched the ball. Hamilton is fun to watch. The passes from Hardy were unreal and he still has trouble with handles. But Saturday, SDSU big guards will keep one foot in the paint and rotate three defenders to ball side. Driving and dishing requires getting ball through 5 defenders clogging the paint. We are smaller and without Tillman we are exposed to fouls.
