Wyoming has played some bad games and decent games. If the Unlv team of last week shows up, we should win easy.

Effort is not bad. But the weak double team leaves guys open for 3's and Wyoming hitting them. Our offense is simply terrible. Our bigs cannot score vs decent defense. And while DJ is our best player, he is not quick enough to get good shots all the time. We are down 8 with just over 3 minutes to play and it will take a miracle to win.
So I guess last week was not a “light bulb” going off for this team but an oncoming train!
This game sums up Kevin’s career here.
A typical head scratching loss when they are supposedly turning the proverbial corner, but nope they get mugged on the corner instead, by a bad team at home.
Fire Kevin at season’s end!

What a boring offense, wish we had someone that could go to the rim unafraid.
Bad shooting night means you attack the rim, draw a foul etc. but this team went back to being soft.

Boring, plain, non-eventful team. No one cares about this team, and why would they with performances like tonight.
Last week was good, but we’re back to reality now. I’m not surprised.

Slow down basketball doesn’t work in Las Vegas. We passed up numerous early 3 point shots only to get a poorer shot late in the shot clock . They just can’t figure it out. Play fast… shoot fast… or get out of dodge. Quit playing Coach Kruger vanilla basketball…
I mean, this is Runnin' Rebels basketball under Kevin. He will have a Q4 home loss after a pair of nice wins. He will find a way to kill any program momentum by not getting his guys ready to play a bad team. You will never go dancing with Kevin at the helm. I'm tired of pretending that it's possible. Shit, we're not even going to make the NIT at this rate so what does that do to the 'he's learning on the job and getting incrementally better each year' narrative?

Horrible offense. Close outs weak. Bad basketball.
I know we were on the verge of a lifetime extension after beating excellent Utah State and SDSU squads.
I’m wondering if Wyoming is popping champagne while Kool and the Gang’s Celebration blasts in the background and the team all dances all over one another. I mean, for Wyoming, that IS a big win, so I’m wondering …

Yes it a big win 4 them. They suck. Anytime u can beat a net 100ish team it huge for them especially on their own home floor. That was some of the worse starting 5 i have seen in a while. 1 really good player and a bunch of players that would not even see any minutes at UNLV.
It is a big win for them, they haven’t won at the Mack in a regular meeting since 2003. Given the amount of coaches we’ve cycled through since is pretty impressive that there’s one team we could reliably beat at home.
I also must say I am not impressed by CKKs staff, they don’t say much on the sidelines, not much coaching going on. There’s talent on this roster but for whatever reason there isn’t much growth.
Like Luv said, last night was on the coaches. How did they not run press more often? Whenever they (UNLV) did it resulted in a turnover or rushed shot. That’s why they (UNLV) were able to come back and almost send it to OT. It’s just mind blowing. Where’s Lon? He can point this stuff out to junior, again where’s the staff doing the opposition work?

Lon's golfing and hasnt been involved much in the game since he retired 4 years ago. Its not his job to point stuff out to his son. Maybe Kevin could read his book...
Beating upper echelon teams, then losing to the dregs, is not good for my health. As long as CKK is here I think the best we can hope for is sustained mediocrity.
